i like that or tho i liked your old one keep up the updates

[MK2 Jamie]

Picked up some under bonnet sound deadening off an XR2 locally for £10 and got the fixing clips from ford for £7. Fitted it today and the sound off engine it quieter and high revs/speeds. Might spray it black nearer the show season.

[MK2 Jamie]

Right so I've been collecting bits over the past couple of weeks and the 2 larger bits came today. A set of 13X6J allycats and a scorpion exhaust as well as an XR2 down pipe. The XR2 down pipe was needed to convert the manifold to XR2 spec to allow fitment of the Scorpion. I got home from work at 5 today and got straight on with fitting the exhaust. It ended up taking a lot longer to fit than I expected so I don't have any pictures of it fitted. I'll get some tomorrow once I've washed the car. I'm not really sure what to do with the allycats paint wise, I'm open to suggestions. I know I want to polish the lip but I'm un sure on paint color for the centers.

is the 1400 staying or goign for the 1.6 Xr engine?

[Minstral]

paint them the same colour as the car jamie. such a nice colour with the polished lip as well think itll look good.
one of them colours hard to see what would actually go well with it if you know what i mean

Yea I think the MK3 down pipes are similar, if not the same. The 1.4 is staying for this summer/show season then once that's out the way It'll be going 1.6 with either an XR2 engine or CVH turbo

Yea I'm gunna polish the lip and color code the centers. I reckon it will look good.

[Rs Adz]

colour code the centre will look stunning

[dontpannic]

Another vote for colour coded centres and polished lip.

Good progress Jamie!

[MK2 Jamie]

I managed to get a couple of pictures of the exhaust today. Ignore the dirty car, I didn't get round to doing it after a failed attempt at polishing my allycats. I've decided I'm just going to spray them silver, maybe moondust silver.

[Ratspeed]

Body colour!
Do it right or not at all

[MK2 Jamie]

Spray the whole wheel body color? I reckon that will be too much

[dontpannic]

Moondust lip body coloured centre? Just putting it out there

[fezza89]

what went wrong with the polishing then?

[Minstral]

What did u use to polish them Jaime. Pm me or facebook me

[MK2 Jamie]

I went through different grades of sandpaper then used polishing wheels on a drill with cutting compounds. I've given up on polishing and already sprayed 2 of the wheels in a "steel" color. It's darker than normal silver but not quite gun metal. It looks goods. Should have them fitted on the weekend.

[knuckles]

those stupid plastic self tappers are a nightmare to get in !
some just push in - some begin to round off if you go to hard on them !!

[MK2 Jamie]

I snapped 3 trying to get them in

[Dave5300]

exhaust sounds good mate! black with the polished lip sounds good although allycats look good in any colour on a mk2

[hb69]

Is it going to be lowered by fitp or are we doing it there?

[MK2 Jamie]

Lowering springs arrived today so it will be lowered. But by the time fitp comes round it will almost certainly be on coilovers.

[EUFez]

I do like this.

I do miss your old Mk2 though.

[MK2 Jamie]

I know mate, I still hate myself for selling it.

[MK2 Jamie]

I managed to get the allycats fitted this weekend as well as some lowering springs that I'm guessing are only 35mm but its better than nothing. I reckon with more low the wheels would look good. The allycats are actually going to be up for sale next week as I've found another set of wheels I want so if anyone is interested drop me a PM. Next things on the list are coilovers and pressed plates.

[jonyb4]

i think that looks perfect as it is, obviously you'd like it a bit lower but nah keep them wheels imo

they'd look good on my mk3 capri them ally's

[dontpannic]

Needs a new rear number plate, and lowering just that little bit more and its sorted I wouldn't even remove those door protectors

[jonyb4]

mentioned hes planning stamped plates mate

[jordan2litre]

easy mate , nice to see you got another old Fez , you not heading to the USA anymore then ?

[MK2 Jamie]

Im not sure what it is about this motor but i can see a pattern forming.........

Thanks mate, I haven't had a look under the carpet yet. The underneath is really solid, I could find anything crusty which is good. Of course that's not to say there isn't anything lurking under the carpet. Hopefully no riveted on plates

[jonyb4]

who on earth would do that

[MK2 Jamie]

Little preview of my new wheels I picked up today hopefully have the tyres changed over tomorrow and get them fitted so I can put the allycats up for sale.

[MK2 Jamie]

Had the tyres swapped over from the Allycats to the RS Snowflakes yesterday. I think they look a lot better than the Allycats. Just need some coilovers now :twisted:
Today out of boredom I changed the exhaust manifold studs to some stainless steel ones I ordered off ebay, this should make fitting the 4 branch manifold that should be with me in a couple of days a lot easier and quicker. That didn't take very long as the manifolds didn't put up a fight at all so I decided to re wire all the speakers in the car because I was using the original speaker wires and the sounds was shocking.

[Excursion]

Ahh, that's better. They really suit it
