Cars been off the road since Sept and I've finally pulled my finger out and decided as the weather has been "good" over the past week to actually do some work on the old girl...

Old wheels and brakes..... (never liked the wheels in thise guise)








Repainted rims and Brembo calipers plus Focus RS discs.









Wired sidelight bulbs into the indicators (like the Esc Cos)





Also fitted a 7" flip out TV headunit and 7" screens in both headrests, plus rewired the stereo inc 2 amps and a 12" sub in box (kids love it when watching a DVD...lol)
No pics as yet as need to do a few minor bits to headrest screen fitment.

Under bonnet a RS500 spec intercooler and alloy rad (thanks Paul NYRSS)

 

lookin good, how did you do the side lights?

 

What are you using for indicators at the front ?

 

What a difference the wheels make!!!

 

Yep the wheels looked pants before

 

really love dark wheels on most cossies.... Massive improvement mate Well Done.....

 

I used std side light bulb holders from a saff (scrap yard jobbie) with std side light bulbs and just drilled a 12.5mm hole below the std indicator bulb holder and wire the 2 wires from each holder to the normal wiring for the side light.

The indicators are still as before as the std indicator bulb is still present.

Know what ya mean about the rims.... but at Ł255 for 4 18" rims without tyres was a good buy (paid Ł120 for repaint and removalof the "Drifz" logo and Ł5 for Ford centre badges)

 

Wheels look a lot better

How much did the brake set up cost ?, and who made the brackets for the calipers etc.

Steve.

 

Calipers - Ebay Ł142

Goodridge hoses (std 4x4 cossie fronts) - Ł10 result!!!
