Hugh Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) The fiesta is a mk5 Puma converted 1.7 that I did myself in June. Has been a good car but I'm looking for something with a bit more tunability. Do have a turbo conversion for the puma engine but no longer have the time to fit it. Need an already factory turbo to keep running standard (and keep me happy) for a while until i sort my life out lolPlans are sell up all fiesta bits, have a look about for a Glanza V and view a couple until I find the right one for me. From there, I will be doing a full service & cambelt change.One of the main bonuses of the Fiesta was the owners club. Glad to see that starlets also have an active owners club to get tips and info from! Edited December 4, 2013 by Hugh Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hugh Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 Thanks guys! Really nice to have a warm welcome Hoping to pick a starlet up for cheap and work on it and make it my own. I like to do things well and once. Mileage won't be an issue since I would like to swap the engine over to make sure I know how it all works. My fiesta was breaking down roadside on a monthly basis for random bits/bobs. Was nice to know what to do so I could always fix it and drive home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
