:lol: :lol: Better late than never :wink: :Q

Aaaaaaaaaah nah its not the mouthpiece's that bother me fella..(im a bit of one an all :D ).. its just all the bollox that come with ford's nowaday's, as i listed in me 1st post :(

Been offered a MK3 2i/RS tailgate for £70's!! :o :o :o :o :devil: Thats the s**t im fed up with, buy one for a MK7 for that :lol:

Sadly my FRST will never be driven by me again...im done mate, and its gonna be another FRST thats going to go the vulture's cause of it, the scene really has ruined itself with greed, and is killing the very cars that make it, and the very cars it needs to survive......
FRST's are gonna go the way of the other classic's like the Maestro's/5's/Pug's an the like cause of it..sad, but IMHOP/Experience of it its true.

happens in all the "scenes"
Ive grown tired of it all now and am happy with my standard golf now. got bored of working on cars unless its for some actual gain. even cleaning them in the rubbish weather this year. got loads of detailing stuff and just doesn't seem worth it at the moment.
just replacing standard parts and keeping it as factory or oem as possible is the way.
even shows now im not so bothered to go to

I know how you feel mate, when I had my accident I lost all the love for my frst i was restoring and I actually scrapped it, engine and everything. Didn't worry about it or want it back.

Tried different makes of cars with the Mitsubishi's. to be fair even frst parts are cheap compared to parts on them.

That said for about 2 years now I have been looking for another frst, which i have now got :D and I am feeling the love for them again.

The car may well drive me mad, it is a pain finding bits and yes there are some complete c**ts out there who have a "faster" car, "better" car unless it is this, this or this it is s**t.

The only things i need to know is I own this car, it is what I want and how I want it, any other opinions dont matter as they are not yours :D

See the show's is another major turn off now, price's, the "PC" Brigade, and the waving of pleasuring device's.

Man i remember when seeing a cossie doing a rolling burnout was a real treat, now its all 500bhp and locked under a duvet for 10mths of year.
Understandable, but id rather have a rough frst that gets used as intended, and that approach seems really hated by purists, and again all that just culminate's in the whole cycle of no love for it anymore.

Thats why I posted as I knew exactly what you were thinking. As I say I look back at it now and think how the hell did I do that and why the hell did I do that but at the time it was right. just wish I had held onto it a bit longer and things might have changed. I don't know all I know is I regretted it and it has cost me quite a bit to rectify it. In my case if you love the cars something will always draw you back to them.

Hope that helps mate

Just my opinions mate, didn't intend to confused matters in your head :lol: Just thought I would say as I know the backlash from this situation.

Try and keep with it mate and keep looking the bits you want will turn up, just takes a bit of time to find them at a decent price.

and as i said before it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks as its your car :D

Anything with the RS badge on it will demand a premium,especially parts for a 20 year old car, look at the price of some mk1/2 bits.

Ive been back and forth between Fords and most other brands over the years, still like them dispite the rust and cost of parts. The shows are still great, and so are the people that go to them.

Up to you if you keep yours or not, if your not happy with it sell it on, but then you will probably regret it as i have done a few times.
