I went to Selby last night to visit my sister and my niece who has a new boyfriend whom she seems keen on and she wanted to meet me, I wasn't expecting much, (she is 19) and fully expected some spotty teenager with a nova and wide wheels etc. turns out i could not be more surprised, He runs his own business, a spray shop and is heavily into modified cars. (he's 27) I showed him a picture of my S1 expecting the usual "what that" type of questions, when he said Dutton Phaeton S1! I was gobsmacked, and even more so when he told me he owns a S3 which is planned to be on the road for Stoneleigh, he's fitted a 2.0l Zetec with megasquirt fuel injection and has a set of motorbike throttle bodies to fit to it. He also has a S2 B+ customers car with a 2.0l Pinto which he is respraying in the workshop.
His other cars include a mk5 ford escort with the later RS2000 engine (again on megasquirt) BMW M3, MR2, mk1 fiesta (again with 2.0l Zetec)
I have asked him to log onto the forums and give us the benefit of his experience with Zetec engines and the megasquirt fuel injection, which he has said he will do. He also said that a friend of his owns a Sierra.
P.S. he also has a windscreen and frame with the weather gear for the S3 going spare, which he will offer up on here.

The small world just got smaller Dave.
I think Steve Kerry might be interested in the screen for his S3, if not then I might be for the S4, can't remember if you said it was a fit or not?
Dave T... read posts before posting :-)
Still leaves us to make one, though it'll wait a bit longer than Steve's.
wooo I work in Selby - I think I'll have to pop in and see this chap when he signs up!
