yeah, my dads 24v capri has a janspeed system with cherry bomb style mufflers on it but thats a v6, not a 950 valencia
ive also heard them on my mates 6.0 truck and other v8s...they have double the cyl and 6 x the cc's

they sound mint,,

i very much doubt yours does

 

it does sound the beans, went to about a 1/4 mile tunnel earlier, i slowed right down to about 10 in 1st gear and just floored it, 45 in second gear then 3rd till 60 and what an amazing sound that was, better than any lambo

 

yeah sure if you say it is

 

believe me please lol
try and record it when i av a mate in the passenger seat

 

yeah
your 950cc 4cyl with a bodged exhaust sounds WAAAYYYY better than a 6.0 v12 lambo alright mate, i belive ya

 

something like this one mate no need to mess with the crap ones that dont fit / work

rev it out more mate. i would take the 1.1 to 35 in first 55/60 in 2nd and 75 in 3rd
the valencia's rev for dayyyyssss

 

APMSL

I bet my wet arsehole sounds better letting out last night's curry than that fiesta does

 

will have to try that then thanks

 

they should rev to like 6/6.5K but me and a friend max both had 1.1s at the same time with counters and would rev them to like 8k daily hoping they would blow up for an excuse to put zetecs in but took months of abuse until he sold his and just took my lump out anyway haha

 

well there is an rst on here that beats lambos so theres no reason why this fiesta cant sound better than them

Anybody going to this show in 2 weeks ??

 

you ain't fuckin right fella! fuck, i've had some pants cars but your in a different league.. an there's tastefully modified and just daft lol.

 

what u on about

 

hahahahaah you being serious? funny fucker!!

 

I need a new steering wheel asap as this standard one is absolute shite, its just way to big, car handles great but this wheel really lets it down.

so which Ford steering wheels actually fit straight on, only want to pay about Ł30 from ebay
been looking at:
xr2 wheel but these are a bit price (i know this 1 fits)
xr2i
Escort rs turbo
do they fit
appriciate any replys

 

do u know if the xr2i steering wheel fits mk2

 

i think what he's trying to say is that the common insult 'just looks like its been driven through a branch of halfrauds covered in glue' doesnt really apply to your previous vehicles... you've just ruined them really especially that MG *cough* sorry rover haha so please make sure this fiesta gets properly sorted it deserves better

 

what a beast

Thought id treat my car to some new ICE

1000 watts nd built in amplifier, pretty good this just something to help the speakers along need to get 2 speakers for the front door cards now.



just bought this Shark car alaem but f*ck knows how to install it (the instructions show just how to install it with central locking systems)

and this 11" steering wheel finally arrived and its fooking brilliant as the handling has seemed to improve so much and its not like steering a ship anymore just needs a badge or sticker to cover the the centre

gonna wire this up as a separate horn, its really loud OOO-GAH

rear strut brace going to spray it red before i fit it

 

real nice

 

Fuck sake. Thought you had learnt from your mistakes!

 

the steering wheel has fook all to do with the handling, and why paint the strut brace red?

maybe you should

these smilies doing anything for ya mate?

 

i have just read through this whole thread, i would normally hold my tongue when i read through threads and i don't like the car, i just wouldn't post.

but ffs, i'm assuming you read different car mags etc, everyone usually goes with a set theme or whatever as to the look they are trying to get, if you are looking to get it to look like xr2, then do so, don't add a fucking retarded horn, that backward ass american, sister fucking inbreds would put on there pickup truck. you seem more interested in the look of the car aswell compared to any real performance gains, why not spend the money you have wasted on what, 3 sets of rims and get the bloody bodywork sorted, before it ends up ruined and costing more to sort.

you obviously are posting on the forum to get advice and feedback, but after breaking this thread down 90% has been advice and not all that much has followed, that fucking scaffolding is still welded in masquerading as a bloody exhaust.

if i was you i would look at other mk2 fiestas that had been done, but not on www.barryboys.com, look at ones on xrtwo.com or this site even, spend time deciding on some choice quality modifications.

someone posted earlier that less is more, with these cars, i can't agree more, don't keep adding more shit just to say you have,

there's even a couple page spread in the last pf (i think it was pf) for 50 mods under 50 quid, aswell as listing the ones to avoid. just try and take some of them on board.

QUALITY OVER QUANTITY

 

With the steering wheel it just compared to the old one which was huge there was no real feeling to what the fornt wheels where doing and this one has seemed to improve so much.

And with the strut brace, it came straight from an enginering place and the welds are visable so it makes sense to make it look the part

 

what man, only added a few creature comforts whats wrong with that??

 

it looks gash, sell it and get a saxo

 

lighten up a bit guys, the cars not THAT bad!
The exhaust is easilly fixed, hardly the end of the world, it may sound shit, but its not offending anyone is it?
the horn is 2 wires to remove, hardly the crime of the century.
I've still got 2 subs in my van, and might fit one to the cossy, its a bit stereotypical chav but its hardly dangerous or devaluing the car?
the wheels, are wrong, and would look better with pepperpots, but, it looks better than with bright orange tsw's or whatever it was
My advice is to sell the alarm, i have a feeling you might get yourself in a mess with that one, and have a go at the body work, get any welding done properly, and spend plenty of time on prepping any damage/repairs and painting.
Most young lads first cars are a bit of a mess, i know mine was, but at the end of the day, its an average condition mk2 fiesta 950, use it to learn how to sort bodywork etc. and then buy something better.

 

LOL...

Promptly place that horn in the bin..

 

well said mate

 

I thought the good thing about forums and the like that this kind of modifications were in the decline,
Surely if the op works in the garage that the fellas there will be giving the same kind of advice as on here.
OP must have no respect of your experience

 

the strut brace isnt painted at all so will need painting. but the majority of people on here are correct! instead of buying a sub and 3 sets of wheels and whatever else you have bought buy an engine stand, a reasonable 1.6CVH, then strip it down and rebuild it! drop that in. save up for a proper exhaust system and learn the concept that often less is more

 

give the boy a break the car dont look bad concidering what it would have looked like!. when i was his age i use to do the chav look on my mk 4 escort van thought it looked the bollocks at the time!! everyone has to start some somewhere.

 

wouldnt paint it red though

 

if it had been mine I think I would of kept it looking like the 1.1, on slightly wider steels and slightly lower without body kit and stuff, an slapped a zetec or 16 cvh in, bit of a sleeper is best in that colour i think.. it ain't never gonna look like a xr2 in that colour, but it could be quicker than one with the right running gear.

 

Car passed MOT this morning first time 'result'

Just got 2 advisories, a front wheel bearing which i knew about and a rear wheel bearing so get these sorted soon.

Went to a car show yesterday, 90 mile round trip and the little fezzy didn't miss a beat even when it was flat out, must av been doing 80-85 (cant tell because i still havnt got a speedo cable) with 3 people init so pretty impressed

 

just use some sockets for the wheel bearings safe as houses!!

jokes aside, good on ya

 

Thanks
Hey them sockets for bearings worked great, there was abit of play but otherwise they were good not dangerous at all

 

snide OMP

 

ahmen to that!!

but on the other pic i do like the way that you seperated your silver and copper coins......................mint was it hard to do??

 

So i'm assuming you now have a licence and insurance to put the car roadside then??????????? an road tax???
