New BIG Mk2 Fan from Kent
« on: 22 January 2009, 23:17 »
Heya all  :cool:

I'm 20, and my older brother is 14(ish) years older than me... he had a Red 3dr GTi when he was my age (lucky little....) with a 2.0 Audi bottom end with a GTi head. Loved it when I was 6years old and I've always loved Golfs ever since. Had it set up professionally for more acceleration and less top end, and I can still remember how it shifted!!

I'm a twin too, and my twin brother has got a 5dr (Red, best colour for the Mk2 :wink:) Mk2 1300 Ryder. Planning on making that into a GTi replica, which I think I'm more excited about than he is!!

My car is actually an M Reg Fiesta 1.3.... White, 5dr (be nice!!). I know its a Fiesta, but in VGC, 38k on the clock for £200, cant complain at all since its my first car.

Would still love a 1.3 Ryder though in red or white, so I could have myself a little GTi replica project going too! Been offering PX's all over the place, but obviously, its a Fiesta, clearly no takers on that one  :nerd:

So looks like Im stuck with the FRST/XR2i Reppy project for the moment!! Incase anyone cares (not sure you will, with your nippy GTi's lol). Got the SI interior in there, and brought so much stuff that I haven't had the time/money to get sorted and fitted.

- LED high level brakelight (for more visability more than anything)
- Some 16" Wolf Tuning Wheels from Germany (Wolf is a German Ford Tuning Company :rolleyes:)
- The full RS Bodykit, which all needs painting. Colour coding the rear spoiler and mirrors too
- RS1800 shocks and springs, anti-roll bars with poly bushes
- Tinted the rear lights to look like RS accessory lights

Thats about it really, enjoying it as Fiestas are a simple little car and parts are quite cheap, just eager to learn really!!

My heart is definitely with the Mk2 Golf though, Quite like Mk4s too (with RS6 alloys. :evil:)

Thats me :)

Cheers
Alex

Welcome man. I've just gone from a blue M reg Fiesta (had a crash, replace the interior with a Ghia interior from which I also took the front end panels lol) to this



Keep your chin up man, I'm paying the insurance for this with a student account overdraft, student credit card and uni bursaries haha
