I miss mine!! I loved my imperial blue zetec s!! Nice one

MikeCracknell

22nd January 2008, 18:37

i like the colour, but im under the impression that they arnt all that fast for 16v?? iv not driven one, but on the fylingdales old airstrip where we drag when we are bored, my mates doesnt pull away :panic:

VTR beats them to 60, then the S starts to pull away!

They are only 103BHP, but my one WAS 153BHP with all the Puma Racing stuff he had on it, but couldn't afford to keep it all on there, he wanted an extra £1500 lol!

It WAS 153BHP....but the extra he wanted I couldn't afford.....also, when it was that powerful, I had a blast, and i swear if it could do 60 in 2nd, it would have beaten the VTS!

Leighboyuk

22nd January 2008, 21:32

Hes not the only one.

I've also just sold my Saxo Furio to fund a Zetec S, in the same colour too! :drink:

Was very sad to see the saxo go, and I cant say I like the MPG in the zetec s :panic:

MikeCracknell

22nd January 2008, 22:35

Cant believe you have gone back to the dark side Mike lol

Like the car though dude

Where the f have you been?!

TBH I should never have gotten rid of the last one, but for some reason, this one is faster than the last one and its exactly the same?!

SaxoJamie

22nd January 2008, 22:49

Like the car Mike:) I actually like Zetec-S a lot but I've heard the power is a bit dissapointing for a 16V lump

MikeCracknell

22nd January 2008, 22:51

Yeah is a bit slower than Suki was, but it feels so much nicer to drive lol!

Japman

23rd January 2008, 10:25

Looks sweet mate, I've always liked the S.

Have you any plans for it? I think it looks mint as it is tbh!

jazzsingh51

23rd January 2008, 16:27

usually not too keen on fords - but the zetec s looks very nice mate. Do you miss the sax yet?

rushy_23

23rd January 2008, 17:44

Is it a phase one or phase two Crackster?

The phase two like Shantels is supposed to have a much better engine as well
as the black interior rather than the crap grey one.

I drove hers to work the other day. Being honest people put em down but they
are such good cars. You hear crap like "VTR anyday" its only 100bhp but weighs more.

But I reckon if most people lived with one for a week they would fall in love.
Such good suspension, even though they have drums on the rear the brakes
are more than good. Interior is a bit sh1t but Ive told you that before haha.

Congrats matey.

MikeCracknell

23rd January 2008, 18:49

No plans for her at the moment, but we shall see what happens - i'd love the Puma engine in her one day.

She's a phase two rushy, plase ones ended Y reg me thinks! That car is QUICK, I am still shocked at how quick she is! I was expecting not a slug, but not a little rocket like she is ;) - i'd love to know what Darran did to her, she WAS running at 153BHP, she had all the inlet manifold done and everything, maybe she has learnt how to go quickly now ;)

Mike

P.S. Interior is a bit shit, but the dashboard and centre console are much better than the Saxo's ;)

rushy_23

23rd January 2008, 19:53

Hmm. So its been tuned a bit then eh? Sounds interesting, wouldnt mind knowing
the spec on it... 150bhp must mean some new cams.

Come on Mike! The dash is as shite as the seats lol. Phase two are the ones to
buy so nice one.

Luke

23rd January 2008, 21:13

Agree with Rushy on driving one.

People do slate them, but they drive so well to be quite honest. They hold the road so well, even when they ain't lowered and are fast enough...

MikeCracknell

23rd January 2008, 21:54

Lol not again! you must really like the ZS Mike (pointing the obvious:D)

Once upon a time i was thinking buying a ZS (when i had my vtr) i was going for imperial blue aswel such a sexy colour one of my favorite colours is purple :P

very nice Sir!

There was something about the ZS that never went away, and just been out in it again tonight, and it really is such a lovely car to drive!

Shantels is dropped on just Gmax springs. Feels really good tbh. Shows that
the standard shocks arent half as bad as the standard stuff on the Pugs/Citroens
