Hi folks - was wondering what tyre pressure i should be running on my mk3 Fiesta. The manual states; 34psi front and 29psi rear - however this is for standard 14" wheels with large profile tyres.

What pressure should i be running for 15" wheels with 195/45 rubber?

Cheers

 

28-32psi

 

Cheers for that Andy - how you doing anyway - s2 nearly finished?

 

as Andy sais, I usually jus stick em at 30 all round hows the car comin on mate? need to get a proper look in daylight!

 

As long as there up normally does

 

S2? SHIT yeah that black RST!!!!!, whatever did happen to it?


a case of out of sight out of mind, i think

 

I got them set at 35psi as it was around what i thought it should be - not far off i guess, but i will change them.

Its going well cheers, taking it up to crail on the 18th -are you heading up mate?

 

Best way Andy, hence why I moved 20 miles away from my garage

Hope to see yours out soon

 

Cool man, yea best drop em a bit an see how it goes with that, not sure about crail probably not as busy tryin to save up for insurance! I may tho will see nearer the time!


Yea, you jus spend every waking hour their

 

vroooom ptssssh - yeah give me a shout if your coming up.

david- i take it you'll be heading up to crail?

Andy_R - sometimes its best that way - less stress and thoughts of "Oh no what have i got myself into " Fords ehh?

Must get a PF Glasgow meet sorted once the evenings are brighter guys

 

Yea mate will deffo give you a shout if im going!

PF meet sounds good, think we should wait for the sunny days aye

 

vroom feck aff

Agar im going to Crail even if I have to take that vectra up, it did piss all over Dereks FRST the other night though

 

Its actualy not a mile away from being ready.

Its Mot'd Taxed Insured & it runs. It does needs a little more work on the managment/fuel system so it can be mapped.

With a bit of luck it may be out this Spring/Summer/Autum

 

Good good

Will take a bit of getting used to again after the luxury of the lancer.

 

Andy_R, Bagsy shotgun as per

Is Colin back at AVA? I saw Lucid mention his name and It looked like he may be but he never replied yet.


david, Sure it jus wasnt some nutcase drivin that made the FRST back off?

 

nope we were in seperate lanes, and I still had the handbrake on upto 110 cans per hour , no bullshit !

 

Indeed - although sometimes the "animal" factor of mental builds like your own Andy is appealing as they are a bit more unforgiving compared to Evo's etc Look forward to seeing it sometime anyway

I think Derek's still having a few problems with his at the moment - what power is the vectra running ? 150bhp? And Davy has a good point about the looney behind it

 

No eyed dear

*****Edit****

typo deer. DEER! NO EYED DEER!

I know you get all sensitive & embarased when i call you dear in public

 

vectra is 170 something bhp and same in torque., was suprprised it was the way it was as the old bus weighs in at 1.9 ton !

Stop slagging my driving you coonts, im not that bad

 

He forgot to mention, 1.9 ton with driver, 1.3 ton without


Nothing up with your driving mate, but its a good idea to slow down for corners tho


No probs Andy, Dear

 

1.9 + the toolbox and all the other shit ive got in it then my fat arse.

Corners are where the funs is at, speed up for bends thats the rules as you well know. will we get onto story about a certain chase through Jordanhill in a grey S2 .............?

 

oh why not although I was meaning a certain corner near your dads house in a certain grey S2 was talkin about the chase the other day infact,

 

you can tell that story as knowone will EVER believe me.

I dont take that bend anymore, enter the top of the street

that car seen some abuse eh ???

 

Want me to tell it then? everyone got their feet up an sitting back?


Yea, abuse is a word I would use still was a mint car and went well, I do wish I'd of sold mine an got it off you sometimes, but S1's jus have more appeal imo

 

Haha ive heard the story David

 

One last question andy

What temp are these pressures set at - ie: i would assume 28psi in cold?

Cheers

 

pm'd you
