Looking great

 

i wish mine was that clean and tidy

 

So simple yet looks so good,I love it.

 

Yeah I like that So much better than that other piece of shit fiesta in here

 

tidy little motor mate. not chavvy at all which seems to be the biggest problem with first cars

 

Cheers people
Hoping to get some 4x4 saph cossie brakes on it at the end of the month

 

|Do the exterior first... Needs either turbo/2i or si bumpers..

What litre car is it?
Just wondering why you waste money on big brakes when not needed.

But looks very very clean.

 

yea was going to put the bumpers on it but, insurance init Hopefully do them next year
Its a 1.8 diesel
but i like to be about to stop and the brakes on it now are really crap

 

also what wheel do u think would look better these ones or 15inch GTI ones

 

I have a m3.5 1.8 diesel, just get new pads and disks, i paid like Ł30 for a set on ebay, will improve more than enough.

 

The ones you have on there, drop it 40mm and will pretty tough.

 

it is drop 40 mm lol but rubs like mad does my brain in but i need new tyre ie 185 40 because these one are like tractor tyres lol

your one looks

 

cheers m8... Just need to get mine lowered, but its only my run-around for the cossie is off the road or raining. lol

what size tyres are on yours now?

 

195 55
but might swap wheels with my dad before he sells the rs2000 which has smaller tyres but they are GTI wheels

 

only run around mine in my pride and joy

 

are they 14's i take it, if so, then yeh go with 185 / 55 same as rs turbo;s
quite suprised they rub tho, as 15's go on ok with no prob and 15, would tend to run 195/45's.

But id def opt for the pad and disk change first before sheding out all that money on cossie breaks.

if you were going to get better breaks, ive been told on fiestaturbo.com that Zetec-s breaks go straight on, and you could just get a slighly bigger disk from say a st170 maybe.

 

yea i changed the disc and pads when i brought it but still a bit crap was thinking of bleeding them up. as i changed brake fluid in the bottle and it was just black lol.
what sort of money are the zetec s brakes
the wheels are 195 55 15s but with smaller tyres they should be sweet the 195`s stick out to much.

 

They wont stick out as much if you later on put the arches on.
try 195/45/15 tyres, they pretty much standard size with 15" wheels.
and stick a 5mm spacer in for that little bit extra clearence.

But with the Kit on as i said, if you are going to go down that route, the wheels wouldnt stick out as much.

 

Oh and Zetec-s brake you will prob pick up for Ł50-Ł100 where as you would prob pay double that for the cossie ones and have to get a custom bracket for the carrier to go on, which can work out about Ł70 just for the brackets.

 

that white ones nice and tidy! i agree 2i bumpers would look sweet!

 

thanks jessie, not looking bad for a 1.8 smoker. lol
Bit pants when you put your foot down and dont go no where. but its meant for a run-around, just wanted to look half decent.

def the way to go tho, with the 2i kit on a mk3.5 most 3.5 are in so much better cond than mk3's.

 

yea deffo will put a kit on next year also its money only a apprentice mechanic sooo... lol
yea might go for the brakes.
and yea the mk3.5 are a lot better aint one bit of rust under mine, but the archs are just started to go so i will repair them then will be time for the kit.

 

just keep trawling ebay m8, type in fiesta and go through all the car parts. you may even get a few bargains on the kit and rear bumper and front bumper if without lights. there pretty much the only things in big demand at the mo.

 

Yea will do cheers mate

 

your well clever mate!

 

..

 

just take into consideration that insurance isnt only for yourself, its for the 3rd party and insuring your car like you do is more than likely invalidating your insurance and may leave you in a LOT of bother should something happen!

 

..

 

agreed, but your missing the point, what happens if you seriously injure someone, where does your 3rd party liability come from if your insurers void your insurance?

 

The car seriously cant go fast enough to any serious damage.
But lets not go in to all this on RST's post.

Back on topic aye.

 

looks good

 

look's tidy m8 hopefully ill be getting my first car soon.......
