i dont think ford is the way to go there slow unless you get a cossy blar blar blar, if you put a 1.2 fiesta and a 1.2 nova in a race who would win, the nova, i think if you can find a nice one get a nova 1.5 td there not all that slow and they do 60+mpg. get some seats and springs off here and there you go.
or you could get a old school mini there old and wouldnt cost you much to run, but there going up in price from what people are saying
My brother picked his mk1 gti up for ?1000.Originally Posted by mini_kris
But.... I remember seeing a 1.3 not so long ago for cheap money.
Would be nice and easy to fit a gti body kit/alloys etc.
As for the engine upgrades there's plenty of options.
G40 would fit nicely from a polo coupe or just find a rotten GTI and nick the engine out of that.... you can even go as extreme as fitting an audi TT engine but that requires some major work.
Mk1/2 Fiesta....!!!
:D
Nova should qualify for classic insurance... 10 yrs out of production.
Ive got a Nova TD, fantastic power output tbh esp compared with small petrol engined Novas. Mines lowered & I put Sr seats in it to drive it home. LOL
And if anyone wants a G40 engine Ive just got off the phone from someone who's son just rolled a G40. Its for sale as a reshell project.
...........with a 2.1 zetec turbo, and some pug 1.9 gti rims, black car, black wheels = uber cool
Kris u av ailable this weekend to get this cage off me??
well although i hate fords with a passion, i have been offered what im told is a very very clean mk3 with one owner from new and at silly cheap money, so going to see it tomorrow
i was looking at golfs and cabs are quite reasonable this time of year so if i dont get this escort think getting trader this week might be a good idea.
i wouldnt have a mini again although i recently neally bght my old mini back
only it wasnt comming back with the xe engine or subframe so i gave it a miss as that was the only bit of the car that excited me
sorry stu been away this weekend on my bike and only just got to the pc will try getting in contact with you tomorrow when i more sober and less tired
