This picture shows how bad the splitter scrapes, it seems to have acted as a plow for mud

[jonyb4]

think i prefered it without the splitter tbh, they dont suit them imo

[Gus!!]

Its quite similar to your cossie bib though?? I think they look quite suited imo, i was pretty amazed at how easily i could make it fit too!! but each to their own, i mean some people think saxo's with big f**k off bodykits look nice!!

[jonyb4]

cossie bib? really?

nah mate dont think im knocking it, its a representation of your style, thoughts and interest, isnt that what modifying a car is all about?

(unless your a sheep like some are :/)

[Michael!]

it does bare some resemblance to your cossie bib to be fair.

[craig123]

how low have u gone ?

[Gus!!]

Well yeah modifying a car should be like an extension of ur self!! not trying to say u shouldnt like ur cossie bib, i'm glad i have mine instead though because its a lot less breakable!! I dont mean mine looks like a cossie bib i just mean its a similar idea. Craig i have lowered it by 60mm, i want lower though

[craig123]

mines lowerdf 60 mm i doont have no problems with scrapping the spliter lol

[Gus!!]

mines lowerdf 60 mm i doont have no problems with scrapping the spliter lol

The splitter i have is a lot lower to the floor than the 2i one though, looks proper low at the front!!

[craig123]

use to have a vr6 1 on mine

[Gus!!]

Probably sat up a bit higher in the 2i bumper i spect. If mine gets ripped off i'll just get another 1 from the scrappy!!

[Gus!!]

Just found a pic of my old mk3.5 lx 1.3 it was ok but a tad rusty and i never got round to lowering it!!

[Gus!!]

Went up to middlesbrough to see the gf at uni this weekend, the mk3 didnt miss a beat all the way there or back, got lost and ended up getting pulled by the old bill for driving in a bus lane but the copper understood for a change :0. Also got wishbones today and will fit them when i get chance

[Gus!!]

Took the fiesta for mot today, didnt even put it in for it in the end as we found a hole and the bushes in the rear beam r f**ked!! Don't think i can afford to do these atm so its gonna have to sit where it is til i find some funds!! Annoyed me so much i was tempted to drive it into the nearest ditch!!

[Gus!!]

Spot the hole!! Lol.

[ben17southport]

to the left?

nothing major there bud but it is a pain when your skint. i bought flo flex bushes when mine went, 20 odd quid, few hours to fit.

so just save and then its happy days

[Gus!!]

Yeah its a well random place. It aint too bad i just wasnt expexting there to be a hole!! yeah i heard the bushes r a baxtered!!

[jonyb4]

ah yea, annoying that spot, very popular too

mine was welded there in February, funny enough i also fitted floflex beam bushes while the beam was off

[Gus!!]

Yeah my old mans a welder so i'll try 2 persuade him. Hopefully me n my mate can do the bushes ourselves!!

[jonyb4]

mines done 116k miles and my bushes just dropped out after a few hammer blows, so you never know, but some people really struggle

[Gus!!]

Probably just burn the bushes out. Then struggle with the new ones!! is it worth getting poly bushes or just sandard?? I was also wondering, the anti roll bars on the rst rear beam, is the mounts on the subframe on my car??

[jonyb4]

the polybushes make a good difference, but makes it quite stiff

its easy getting them in, rubber mallet, and its in, the harder bit is slotting it into the mount


the RST, Xr and Si had the anti roll bar bolted to the beam itself mate, if you want one, buy the beam and arb complete as its a ball ache fitting one to a standard beam, trust me lol

[russ-RST]

can't even see a hole myself and poly bushing the rear beam
is somin iv yet to do tbf, but wen I fitted my rear arb to my car mine still has the original beam (1.3 mk3.5) and all the holes were already there so it just bolted straight up

[ben17southport]

pm me when you get to the bushes bud. i hit major obstacles but got them all figured out lol. as jony said, bushes slot right in (remember to give them a slight grease as i forgot and it still squeeks) but its getting the beam back into the brackets on the body which is the pain!

Ben

[Gus!!]

Yeah its just issues with money atm really, hopefully soon it will be sorted and the fiesta can be fixed!! i have til the 26th before my mot runs out. Trust me there is a hole, on the inner sill right next to where the rear beams mounts on

[jonyb4]

imo its best to take the mount off the car with the beam, then remove the bushes, fit the new ones with copper grease liek ben said, and then fit the mount to it, and then bolt it to the car using the 4 bolts

use a jack or similar to hold the beam up while you bolt it down

[Gus!!]

Look at the filth!! I hate winter!!
