having regrets

[J_mk1]

This i sooo annoying im such a mind changer

 

Basicaly when i first bought my car i didnt really know anything about it, what it was worth or how it even worked. Ive learned soo much while biulding this car (i only bought it when i wa 17). But it has also meant alot of changing ideas.

 

First i got a 1600 x-flow. Then i decided i wanted to go pinto so i sold it and bought a pinto.

 

Then i didnt like the thought of a skinny heavy engine in my bay so i decided to go zetec. now ive got it all fitted and nearly running... and then i went to santa pod and saw the pintos in action

 

Now i cant help but think i should be going for a hot pinto What you guys reckon i should do? Smoke around the zetec for a while and see how i feel about it first? i mean it would be easy enough to change...

 

Opinions please

smoke around in it first and then flogg it in the winter and buy a pinto

Give the Zetec a chance. Fitting one in mine is the best thing I ever did to a car.

skinny heavy engine?

 

There's not a lot of difference between the weight of any of the engines really I don't understand what you mean by skinny

[Savvi]

Put pinto in and sell me the Zetec conversion parts ............. Cheap !!!!!

 

I want to Zetec my Anglia never tried one but the Mondeo's go well so i think it would be worth while to do.

I'd say give it a try for a while i think you will like it !!!

Haha i just think twin cam lumps fill out the engine bay and make it look better, just an opinion is all

The wife has a 2.0 zetec in her mk5 cab, Its the 150 BHP XR3 version and I have to say its very reliable BUT I find it very disapointing in the performance stakes Now its fitted mate just smoke it for a year or two then decide

[Guest MK1gaz]

Yes pintos look poo compared to zetecs with those nice lotus and BDA rep cam covers on them .

[J_mk1]

Hmm for pinto's i think the best cam cover is the standard one actualy lol.

 

Dont like the look of those crappy burton ones you can buy at all no offense to anybody that has one just what i think
