wheels fit and lights fit although you may need to altar wiring on headlights if your indicators are bumper mounted, aftermarket exhaust should fit but OE would need fettling to fit

Glynboy

Hey, appreciate the prompt reply! You'll probably laugh but What do you mean when you say OE. Looks good then thanks for the info, will the seats and rear seats fit straight in aswell? Regards

OE is original equipment, seats are a straight fit even 3dr seats fit just doorcards from a 3dr wont for obvious reasons

Glynboy

Great stuff yeh they both 3 door. Have you ever put an exhaust on your self? Do you now what fiddling I would need to do? Is it just fiddling on the ngine side or all the way through with brackets ect? Sorry for all the questions just looking for a little project . Thanks for your help

the original standard 170 exhaust is a 1 piece system which has to be cut to be removed hence the term fettling, personally unless its a stainless steel aftermarket system its not worth the faffing about

Rowe

if you want to fit the ST170 manifold to your 1.8, you will need to also swap the power steering pipe and dipstick

Glynboy

I'm picking it up later , exhaust does look bigger than usual but I'm not sure how big they are stanadard on the 170. Is that hard work changing power steering then? And when you say dipstick . It is just literally change dipsticks? Thanks

Rowe

the 170 exhaust is miles better than the 1.8 and 2.0 zetecs with regards to flow. The power steering pipe is pretty easy and acessible.
the dipstick along with the pipe it sits in needs replacing. About 10 minutes to do

the big question though, why not just drive the 170 instead?

Glynboy

Well I'm having it today, I now the drive shaft has come out , and something to do with engine mount. Engine is tilting forward . It still starts. I may have a look at it. It's a good shout!

Rowe

makes more sense sorting that one out in my eyes. 1-PD (Steve) who has commented above will have the parts you require.

by the sounds of things it'll be the torque mount underneath the gearbox. I would inspect the driveshaft for damage and replace the gearbox oil
