What to do next??
Hey guys I recently started to customise my fiesta zetec it may only be a 1.4 but I want to look as good as it can, I have already lowered my car by 60mm had a pair of 17"alloys fitted, st spoiler, tinted windows, bonnet bra, new gear knob and gaiter, 10" monitor ripspeed DVD/CD player, Hid kit xenon fog and led side lights, scorpion stainless steel exhaust system I am now stuck on what else I cando to make it look better and maybe make
My car faster, I don't want to buy a zetec s or an st before you
Suggest those options as I don't have a spare 5-10grand just fort I'd post and take in some Ideas,
My car is a red 3 door with black alloys and all trim
Respected black for a new finish. Please let me
Know what u think il be posting some pics of my project soon

ime 60mm is too much of a drop, to retain handling and keeping it driving properly I wouldn't drop more than 40mm absolute max.
You've done a whole load to the car already so bar maybe adding a performance panel filter or induction kit I would stop and just enjoy it. And I know you don't want to be told to buy a Zetec S or ST but to be brutal you would be better doing just that. Don't need £5-10k as they are cropping up for as little as £2500. Lots faster and would probably be cheaper to insure than your 1.4 with loads of modifications on it.
Best of luck with it though

Was meant to say 16mm on coil overs as can't get it
Lower due to wheel size, can't find any induction kits anywhere that have all the parts I need though, also just purchased a tow strap to put on front and looking at finding some
Morretts or just updating to 2006 headlights

Umm, depends on your budget, a set of suzuki gsxr750 bike carbas on a modified puma inlet with an aftermarket ecu will give a nice power gain. I was speaking to a few guys who ran 1.4 zetecs in rallying (good little engine for a 1.4 class), the rekon the bike throttle bodies, ecu, some mild headwork, high lift cams and tubular manifold cost about £2k and delivered 110 horsepower at the wheels.
