Cheers guys, poverty is a good thing now i have this sat on the driveway.

Its quicker than my last rep in the dry, in the wet the rep would have it hand over fist lol.

 

Love it but wheels gotta go

 

The worst thing about it is i sold these just 1 day before buying the cossie.

 

i wouldn't fit these to a push bike never mind a cossie

 

Really are they that bad?

 

My mate thought he would do this to my runaround car, he beliefs it to be funny i do a little but the plonker could of at least put it on straight.

 

Bloody hell mate thats shit

 

Tell me about it, they were a pain in the back side to keep looking that good though. Would love a set in antharcite at some point.

 

Welcome to cossie ownership.I hope you love your car mate.Shame about them wheels they look well nice.

 

I 2nd, 3rd and 4th it

They are awful, my engine mounts split with only 330bhp in 2k miles

 

I love everything about it so far, even the missfire and main beam issues.


Looks like these engine mounts are going on ebay for sure, brammer has give me the lowdown.

 

looks nice mate enjoy it there will be times it has you pulling your hair out but their worth it!

 

Lucky i got short hair then lol, i know what you mean the main beam issue has confused 2 of us now as everything seems to be working it has to be a weak negative/ground somewhere.

 

I have had a few reps mate but glad you went to the real thing I'll get there one day mine are getting quicker lol

 

It took me long enough johnny, i have had about 7 sierra's 3 have been reps. This was the only chance i will be able to afford one, even then who knows how long i will be able to keep it for as we are looing to buy a house next year.

You will get there dude and when you do its a fantastic feeling bud i can assure you of that.

 

'Cars' should be car's

 

Oh yeah another thing to pull him up on, talk about if you cant do a job properly lol

 

looks nice mate.

 

gutter about selling the comps mate!

 

Thanks mat.

There will always be another set for sale at some point, like i said i would not go white again its just not worth the hassle.

 

nice car cool colour too!

 

i dont think the ambers look right imo

is this why you stripped the rep for the real deal??

oh it a rouse splitter mate

 

more like the rear lights dont look right! its a rwd its meant to have ambers but the quad lights need to go

 

Unforunatley it hasnt got ambers on the back as someone has drilled the back panel for the dark later surround.

Plus it now has clear front indicators, and i am still undecided on the morettes.

But thanks for the comments guys.

 

cracking looking car you have there fella!!! nice colour to, i totally agree about the engine mount they are pants and i would say not to bother with the quick shit 2!!!
the t5 is a slow ish box from first to second n wont be rushed i ended up getting rid of my qucik shift n havent missed it one bit!!

cheers jay

 

Nice colour, enginebay looks clean too. well done mate. A misfire? That sounds like a real cossie, my road car was plagued with misfires on and off for the 4yrs I owned it, they ruined the ownership do yourself and the car a favour and visit MSD and spend some hard earned on a wasted spark setup, the best £400 I ever spent on a car. Faultless running since fitting 3yrs ago

 

that look great, shame about the wheels that would have looked great on those..

always have a thing for white wheels

 

I really love the look of that saph, and I was just thinking when i looked at the pics that a set of comps would be the perfect addition, then I scrolled down!

 

Looks nice that. Good colour. I think I'd ditch the morettes for sure. Get ambers fitted all round too

 

They always look nice in that colour, spend spend spend time he he

 

Oh yes its already started bud.

Thanks for the comments and information it all helps for sure.

Think i might have sorted out the missfire bt not to sure yet as the weather is crap and its a waste of time driving it in the wet unless you wanna go sideways everywhere.

 

Nice car, love the colour! but get rid of the morettes...and put ambers on it!

And the wheels looks good, much better than the BORING 5-spokes would do

 

What's the crack with those engine mounts? As I'm watching a set on eBay
