Melted fuel pump relay (
The majority of these problems are general wear and tear, but some are due to the fact that the car is highly modified.
The car used to be a show/sound off car so it is in immaculate condition, and it still turns heads at 16 years old!!!
The car has had the following modifications; Piper cam, ported and polished head, Scorpion straight through 3 inch exhaust, Chipped ECU, running 1 bar/ 15psi of boost pressure, Pipercross induction filter, bleed valve, Samco silicon hoses, Turbo XS blow off valve (very load), Nomad Racing boost gauge, Ebc brakes, 90 spec interior, bumpers and spoiler, fully de-locked, smoothed bonnet, Antera 145 alloys, Clifford full closure alarm, Toad Power key transponder immobilizer. To cope with all the extra power adjustable Koni suspension had been fitted, this greatly improves handling and stance of the car, but the ride quality suffers as the ride is so firm.
I would recommend one of these flying machines to anyone who likes a real driving experience and loves attention! If this isn't what you are looking for in a car, then opt for a Ford Mondeo or similar.
**UPDATE**
Car is now off the road as I got a bit carried away when racing my mate in his cossie, and I blew the rings on the 2nd piston, so I'm going drop a 1.8 zvh (zetec bottom end and cvh head and cam) block in coupled with a st2 hybrid turbo...240bhp here I come!!!
GREAT!! ZzZz.
RS Oil Slingers are pure Junk!!
I wouldn't even waste the money!!
Keep the ZeTec and put it into a MK2 Escort or something worth while!
It may have 240BHP, but it won't even put 130bhp down on the tar when standard so good luck trying to get off the line!
Lattteeee.
Hi mate I have a 200bhp series 1 and I wheelspin at 100mph in the wet so yours will be f*****g quick I say go for it and push for 300bhp you won't get it down, but it will make you smile every time you boot it and embarress every cossie owner tuned or not you might not do em, but they will respect you when your on their bumper at a ton good luck rich.
