sitting rude now mate, perfect stance!
but how does it drive with the cut down springs?

slammedorion

Still on the standard shocks for now. . . and being honest mate, its awful its so bouncy. . .
But I love how it looks and goes. . .
So I put up with it They look sooooooo much better slammed

slammedorion

Spent a couple of hours cleaning the Orion up today. . . so took a few pics while it was clean again :mrgreen:

The retrimmed RS 4 spoke. . . 8)



















Not done much to it recently, still got the spoler to fit, a couple of bits want repainting

Sorted a fuel leak out and changed the rear brake pads

Being rolling roaded in April 8)

slammedorion

Dropped a spare dashboard off today for flocking. . . should look nice when fitted

slammedorion

Yesterday fitted a new Ford engine mount to POV. . . cost me Ł61 quid

Give up in finding a pattern part mount after trying 3 different mounts

slammedorion

Wasnt the best of ideas on saturday but had no choice, went up north to collect my engine in POV. . .

It went alittle lower

Just bought back my built up 2 litre zetec turbo lump for the other orion project. . .

slammedorion

This ones already running a 130 spec rs1800i lump

krzoska82

with the shox being cut down will you just b getting a stiffer suspension or a whole new suspension alltogether
the car has a great stance might do it to me wifes mk feista

slammedorion

TBH I wouldnt mind changing the springs and shocks. . . will see how things go. . .

Still go a few things to sort first, wants a few little bits of paintwork sorting

Got the flocked dash coming for it

Got c/l and e/w motors to fit and wire up

Possibly fitting a full Ghia trim???

Still got the full polybush kit to fit

Wanna treat it to new front tca's and track rod ends




And got a million jobs to finish off on the other Orion build

slammedorion

Didnt see this coming, but due to the forsale section on here. . . and these wheels coming up forsale just round the corner from me. . . I thought why not

Tried one of the 16X8 Comps on the rear tonight, took a few pics. . . cant fit them yet as still need to fit my 195/ 45/ 16's to them. . . hopefully with the stretch they should tuck under the arches. . . if not will get the grinder out and if that dont work will have to raise it up a fractionCouldnt put the car down on the ground, the tires were sat on the arches so it should go lower yet long as I can sort the catching out



They certainly fill the arches more than the Mondeo rims did

we need better pics,looks well from what i can see

MrCapriScort

They would look wicked in white, or even pearl white. Cracking orion mate

slammedorion

Will be better pics on the way when I get the tires swapped over. . . Its to low to put the wheels on with the 205/ 45s on

slammedorion

16X8 Comp TH's are now fitted with my 195/ 45/16 inch Uniroyals off the Mondeo rims 8)
I've left it slammed for now, it catches on all 4 corners still over bumps etc. . . the rear arch lips have been totally cut off. . .
I think it looks awesome on these rims, far better than the Mondeo rims

P412KER

Looks well that pal, fear better than on my saph.

marky_g

thats the bollocks!!

slammedorion

Cheers

Will have to get that paint code off you so I can get them few marks repaired on them. . .

Chuffed to bits with them. . . transformed the look of the car, will look even better next weekend with the flocked dash fitted

Give me a bell when your about tommorrow mate so you can collect the Mondeo rims Get some pics taken the and get them sold on

16i cabbie

love the orion's
keep up the good work

was it hard sticking the zetec in ?
got orion 16i ghia and want to do something different ....after reading your post's wouldn't mind going zetec route...

slammedorion

Bolts near enought straight in. . . the wiring isnt rocket science
Great conversion for the money

slammedorion

A few phone pics

New Recaro seat covers fitted. . . fit perfect, rear arch lips touched in for now til I decide to S2 kit it or not.
Filled the fuel tank up to give it some extra slammage, its catching like f**K on the back now

just perfect

jamieclements

best orion ever !!!!!

slammedorion

I wouldnt go that far. . .

Maybe 2nd best

The money I've spent on the other one, surely that ones gotta be the best

Ade

That looks stunning! Easy one of the best looking Orions ever!

Deffo don't stick a kit on it though, looks nice and clean without. Plus the rear door area of the kit always looks messy when it's been cut.

boris

Looks fantastic, the wheels really suit it. Good work!

S2-MAN

Nice looking Orions, especially with the comps What color were the Mondeo Rims?

slammedorion

One off colour a mate made up. . . Everyone always asked lol. . . Collecting and fitting the flocked dash on wednesday. Cant wait to see how it looks fitted

slammedorion

Just got in from work and thought I've got 5 mins, I'll try the camera in the dark
Not the best pics in the world but you can see the latest mods

A pair of Recaro seat covers. . . Cheers to Ben Purnell 8) the fitment is spot on



Also fitted my freshly flocked dash. . . BIG thanks to Raj @ Autoflock Motorsport, more parts to be taken up to him soon
