Default Portuguese fiesta mk4

since 3 years ago i've been modding my fiesta.
here some of he mods

when i buy it


first thing to do is to go down with a decent set of koni



thing i need a little bit o f power so i removed the cat and a new set of wheels
i tryed ones of a saxo and i liked




pissed off with the rubering of the low offset of the wheels i trade with a guy who wanted the saxo wheels and he gave me a set of a fiesta mk6 15

without centers


with centers



next with the brake pads in the end and teh disks too I think wy not to upgrade. so i look for an upgrade and i found in teh scrapyard a fiesta mk5 with vented disks






with the car too high with the new wheels and the 195\55 r5 continental tyres i think in make it more agressive and paint teh old wheels with antracite



it lowered a bit but not enaught, but i keep it for a long time :P
when a mate gave me a set of 195 45 set of tyres i tinhk in the 15 and to buy new springs to lower more



3 months later a mate wanted my wheels so i trade with him and a smal amount of cash
bu teh fourteens go to his place again and my mates 14 of the mk4 are preparing to look cool so i tried an ideia i saw in teh net polishing the lip




it looked so cool that offers fall from the sky and they gone
so the mk5 wheels are on but tehy need a bit of style ;P

"cleaning" the wheels



then the primer

semy gloss black paint


and my final touch


sporty


just need someting else. a canon and a new exhasust system


just screams so loud and cool but no for a long time because my ears hurt :P so the original back box came o his original place.
in my quest for power I visited the internet and the scrapyard so many times that i found what i'm looking for (but not enought ( i need more poweeeeer but in the same car))
so i tried a few tricks
i cut the bottom of the airbox and fit a panel filter from pipercross

a set of mondeo's injectors from a 1.8 115cv, a throttle and the maf sensor from a 1.4 puma.it result but not enough . so i few hours in the internet in my quest for power and another hours with my dremel 300 and "SANDPAPER" i done this gasflowed trottle.

Wow.

I like it.

I like Lisbon too - how is that place ? I was there a month ago or so watching Bolton play Sporting.

What a great city!
