My previous cars VW/BMW/Ford

[iaincb1]

Thought I would share a few of the latest cars I have owned. I'm 23 and on my 10th (which is for sale), so more than most at my age but not as many as some.

So here is my old Golf GT TDI 150. A quick car and I loved it. If any of you read FastFord magazine, this is the current cover car owner's previous car, who is a mate of mine. It was remapped at his old workplace Motorsport Developments.

In hindsight I should never have sold the Golf, although it did have 165K on it and needed a few bits doing, but I wanted an upgrade so...

2005 '55' BMW 330ci sport auto. Fantastic car and I wish I still had. High spec, TV/sat nav, HK audio etc. However, a sudden increase of insurance and fuel along with debt was a little too much so I made the decision to sell after a short ownership.

The thing is I still had my Golf and the MR2 beforehand, which admittedly had been sat on my drive for a year and was due to go a couple of days after this pic. You can just see the back end on my drive

So after selling the Golf, I swapped the BM for this...

It is such a clean example, but it is for sale after a very short length of time. This is my 4th MK3 Fiesta, 2nd of which turbo and my 5th Ford altogether, but I miss the comfort sooooo much. With it only having the T2 turbo, it also doesn't pull like I wish it would but I am refusing to spend money and stick a T3 on there. My last Fiesta was an RS1800 with a 2.1 Zetec turbo and that used to spin the wheels in the wet at 80mph in fourth gear...this doesn't.

So that's it for now. Hoping for a new car to post as soon as possible.

Oh... and I also have an Aprilia RS125 which I HATE HATE HATE. It doesn't work I want it out of my life!!! Worst 1k I have ever spent

Love the RS Turbo.

Any photos of the ZT Fiesta? I'm halfway through'building' one at the moment but its just sat there really.

Like the white FRST anyway and I've turned into a BMW fan over the last couple of years - looks like the E46 has a fancy interior too with the stitching down the middle of the seats.

I wouldn't use it for inspiration...what a shed! I was told it had XE pistons in following the melting of C20LET pistons when running at 2bar boost. Tapped its head off because the block was bored out and XE's are for 2.0. Mess under the bonnet and bodywork was crap. Insured illegally as an RS1800 and sold it for that reason (and it needed a rebuild).

However, MASSIVE fun at 19 years old. Fairly inaccurately timed at 6 secs to 60mph and 14ish to 100mph. It was great. Even raced a GTR but if I'm completely honest, it didn't go well haha

[iaincb1]

Oh and it was running a T34.63 turbo which was bloody huge

And as far as I'm aware all the sport BM's have that stitching

Love the RS125..

And the rest of course. But that Aprilia is stunning.

What's up with it?

[iaincb1]

Well...as I never listen to the sensible voices in my head...i.e. my parents and most other people... I went to look for an RS125 and not a CBR 125 for my daily commute.

So the only day I go to look at one there is a torrential downpour. He pulls the bike out, it starts and runs. Looks ok. Right here's a grand, thanks have a nice day.

So trailered it home in the rain for about 40 miles. Rolls off trailer...IT WON'T F***ING START...FFS!

New battery, plug, a starter device/choke, as this was completely missing, clean the carb and adjust the oil pump and I've managed to get out on it a few times but pushed it home about 3 out of 5. It won't idle on it's own and runs a little bit rough (when it runs at all) but had it up to 85mph no problem. Now I just can't be arsed with it. It can probably be easily fixed by someone who knows what they're doing and I've never compression tested it but I want it gone and replaced with a jetski

You should buy it! haha

Fiesta is bloody awesome

[Max M4X WW]

I cant say I regognise the fiesta, ever been on fiestaturbo.com?

My engine should be 270bhp at 21psi on a hybrid T3 so 30psi on a T34 should really have some serious pistons I'd of thought!

I think the central stitching on the E46 seats is to show the leather is a different sort from the norm, I'm not sure.

I have been on it but never registered or posted.
Will be lively with 270. By the time I purchased mine it was boosting at 18psi peak. I assume it was turned down after it melted...would make sense I suppose

[Max M4X WW]

Ah ok, I've been on there for 9 years now since before I got my first Mk3. Don't use it a lot anymore, but still see a group of people I've got to know since the beginning.

Takes me back a bit looking at your pics. Between the age of 21-28 i owned a fiesta xr2i, a rs1800, 2 escort turbos, a rs2000 amongst other fords then decided to do what i'd wanted to do for a while and grow up a bit and buy a smart car. Got a 330ci coupe which i owned a year then few week ago i got a 330 convertible.

But, i'll always have a major soft spot for fords, especially so the old rs's etc. Mind you, i don't miss how much of a money pit they are where if you replace or restore one part you end up wanting to also do all the surrounding bits lol!!
