To upgrade your brakes I suggest you go for xr2 stuff

Goodridge braided lines
Mondeo servo
Xr2 aftermarket grooved discs
Xr2 calipers with carriers


That'll be all you need

 

Its getting sillly on here, advising him to use chemical weld?, potentially putting his life in danger, all because you don't agree with what he is doing with his car, (how is that funny) its no different than childish ganging up mentally...

I don't agree with his mods, but on the grand scale of things, its no big deal...its just a Fiesta....can't believe the amount of people losing sleep over this..

Some of us have probably spent more money on respraying parts on are beloved cars than he has on his whole car and mods...

Let him be...

 

To be fair, if he couldn't see that as piss-taking, and followed that advice, then he'd deserve the outcome. That would surely be natural selection in full effect

 

exactley.......

 

well look at this beauty i think it looks absolutely stunning.
Just bought a set of the proper Ghia wheel bolts with the big spinning collor.
Also got 3 brand new tyres other 1 was fine




Dont comment on the sunstrip theres no point !!!

 

just joined the forum and very nearly left again after reading through this thread lol! gotta say though,that if you binned the seats and used either standard or a clean set of 80 spec recaros, lose the sunstrip and run either pepperpots or steelies it would be half way there!

 

whats the point in that changing everything ive put into it, everyone goes down the pepperpot route nd i really dont like them

 

doesnt look to bad now

 

TBH I think the current look wheel wise is spot on! if you like the (sorta stupid) sunstrip why not try a nicer more subtle font and make it a little narrower, maybe even try writing something smart not "mk2 fezzy" just my 2 cents mate

 

Those wheels don't look too bad. Get a bit of back to black or similar on the body trim plastics though!

 

as said, looks alright but just lose the sunstrip / change it for a different one and itll look okay

 

the letters may come off so might try it

 

Piss taking aside. Get this months Fast Ford mag. If you want to uprate the breaks there is a guide on how to refurb calipers.

 

Did you look at my upgrade advice?


Its not the sunstrip I mind as I have a matt black one going onto mine its the stupid lettering on it

 

Yano what, lose the 'MK2 FEZZY' off the suntrip and it'll be reeeeeet kid, till next time....

 

looks good mate, on the right track now just take off the stupid lettering!!!

 

loose the lettering and change the seats to recaro's !! subaru seats look gash in that car!!! actually like the wheels but the plastics need some loving (back to black)

 

See it looks really good red on black

 

genuine question, are u colour blind?

cos surely theres no way on gods green earth (no colour pun intended) that u genuinely think red accents will ever go with the delightful shade of burgundy that adornes your vehicle?! the anodised purple valve caps further emphasise my point. its like stevie wonder and ray charles had a finger painting contest!!!!!

i think with the sunstrip gone, the seats gone, the exhaust gone, your crazy OCD with painting things red gone, and generally any input from yourself gone, this could be quite a tidy little daily

thats honestly as polite as i could be. at least i didnt swear

 

lol at those massive brakes but seriously please stop wasting money on paint mate and save it for stuff like getting the bodywork sorted properly and get some bigger brakes

 

The fact you've got an ok looking mk2 fiesta that you're slowly ruining really fucks me off, as me and my bro want a tidy mk2 as a project, yet can't find a decent one.
You can't even spray calipers right! you've sprayed the pistons, dust covers and pads! You're a fucking twat, and that sunstrip proves it!
I like the wheels though?

 

do rs turbo brake fit straight on mine, if they do i can get them fairly quickly with vented disks and green stuff pads
let me know
thanks

 

1 caliper was painted propily as i took it off to paint it but the other 1 couldn't be bothered as i needed to be somewhere

 

First rule is never draw attention to drum brakes

This means painting them bright red

 

love the fact you can't even see the cute little disc behind the wheel when i saw the pic of the black drums i thought you had realised you aren't a complete pikey and developed some taste... then i scrolled down.


how much money have u wasted on this car? and how much do u genuinely think you're going to get back?

 

There's nothing wrong with drum brakes, but why the Fuck paint em red ? Paint em black and I can assure you it'll look better, along with calipers sprayed black instead of red

I agree with zetec-Sam, not many mk1 and mk2 fiesta shells in good nick out there, and thisis a tidy one don't get me wrong, but youve ruined it

 

I thought the drums looked ok in the first pic, and then you painted them red! Why would you want to show off the fact your car has pikey spec brakes? Paint them black you plum!

 

Why keep giving this idiot advice? He clearly isn't listening and is just ruining a decent Mk2 fiesta. Treat him like a child - ignore him and hopefully he'll just go away.

 

got a set of 280 mm calipers if you want to buy them for 60 quid posted downside is one bleed nipple is broke but still bleeds



like the car apart from the seats and the strip could be a good car if you saved up and did subtle changes as said above loose the red drums no one likes a pov spec drum painted bright colours i even spray my rear calipers an un noticable silver

this is my mates car subtle fair few cheap mods and its still cool

i wouldnt know for sure mate

 

What car are these off and what type and size of disk would i need.
What size are my calipers at the min??

 

They are off a cossie mate yours are about 220 or 230 at the moment you need some cossie discs that are 280 mm mate

like these or standard usually alot cheaper

Should we all chip in and buy this car off this fuckwit? If we all donated £20 and got 20 people, then it could be passed on to a deserving person who would make a good job out of it!

 

sounds like a plan

 

come on man look at the pics above with the 15" wheels it is stunning
gets loads of looks for all the right reasons, so what if it says fezzy on the front its a detail that can be removed and the red brakes i like so what if no1 on here does, other people do that see the car every day, im sure everyone has got a mod to their car that some1 else doesnt like !!!

^^^^^^^^^^^ thats well said in my opinion

Sounds good, so do these just bolt straight on to my car and will the hoses fit right ?

 

should fit on maybe a spacer if it doesnt match up to disc but should be easy to work it the brake lines should fit fine

 

I'll give him £400 myself! My bro wants a mk2!

 

They go for more than £400 on ebay even if they have no mot and been stood for ages, mine is fully working and in reasonable condition so no not selling. dont no ow much its actually worth but reckon i could get £650 all day long as i get people asking to buy it every week. rare classic nd ive got big plans for it in the near future.

 

Rare classic with mk2 fezzy written on it, primer for paint and yes...you could get "all day wrong"
Fail all the way I'm afraid
