Got some pepperpots today, they just about dont rub and i think they look good!! What do u guys think??

[jonyb4]

brilliant, tire profile is way too large though!

colour on them suits perfectly thou!

[Gus!!]

Yeah i would imagine the tyres would be expensive though!!

[jonyb4]

why? 185/55/15s would do nicely

[Gus!!]

They are only 13's jony. They are 185/60/13 atm

[jonyb4]

clearly a typo lol

[Gus!!]

What tyres would you recommend?? My mate has toyo proxes and he says they are good, but do they make them in 13's?? Or is there something else which you would say is better??

[Gus!!]

Well, finding tyres is interesting!! nowhere online has 55/13

[russ-RST]

Well, finding tyres is interesting!! nowhere online has 55/13

can u not get 50 profiles? I'm sure ul find somin as Jony said I think thy look quite good! just need some thinner tyres matey , and yea toyo proxie t1r's are bloody good tyres thats what I'm getting once the cars fixed lol

[Gus!!]

Yeah my mates car seems to handle pretty well, and it doesnt wheelspin that much since he got the t1r's and he has 160bhp with only 750kg so they must be doing something good!! also, would people say its worth getting better shocks, or would you just wait and get coilovers??

[Michael!]

depends what you want, if youve got a strong back get coilovers!

tyre wise uniroyal make rainsports in 185//50/13 and so do faulken which i have on my 14's at the mo and the performance in the ice is way better than i expected.

[Gus!!]

Just some better pictures really!!

[jonyb4]

You can't get proxies in 13s sadly, smallest is 14 inch


Is recommend shocks 100% lowering springs especially on non gas shocks your 1.1 will feel poor and crashy compared to purpose built sports suspension

the handling differences will be nice too, but imo for you I'd start with finding the sports model anti roll bars front and back then consider gmax shocks

for the front you will need the complete sub frame from a si, rs or xr and then the shocks to support a drop link to the arb

the back you can simply buy a beam from the stated models (excluding si 1.4 8v)


arb's make a massive difference

also I highly recommend rainsport tyres, the name is deceiving, should have been called the Allsports

[Michael!]

everything jon said - please buy rainsports they're probably the best all round tyre you can get at the moment - inc pricing!

[b0yracer]

looks good

185/60/13 is fine too, i run 185/60/13 on mine and its lowered 60mm all round its fine

what suspension you got ?

[b0yracer]

looks good

[Gus!!]

Yeah i was gonna look into an rs turbo rear beam, or any that has the anti roll bar, which i will still probably do, atm its a bit bouncy sometimes but its better than standard. Them rainsports sound like a plan, i dont need any tyres yet so they'll have to wait!! Atm i have 60mm gmax springs.

[Michael!]

id go for a zs rear beam and a strut brace over an rs turbo rear beam matey

[b0yracer]

is that just 60mm springs on standard shox

it sits quite low

looks good though

[Gus!!]

Yeah i need sone shocks really, i want coilobers so i can make it sit much lower!!

[b0yracer]

it sits well, do the springs come loose when you jack it up, i used a sports set on mine, shorter shockers so springs still need compressing in, yours looks well low though, unless its your wheels sit out more

im changing my wheels to rs 4 spokes i love the idea of a dish/lip on the rim

like these

[Gus!!]

Yes, yes they do come loose but f**k it. I like how it sits, it does need to be about 10mm lower (or more) the wheels fill the arches really well now though
I love them 4 spokes, but only when they are diamond cut but thy are never cheap, never seen them on a 2i lookalike so it could look good, as long as they were spaced correctly!!

[jonyb4]

cheap?? mate theyre cheap as lol, they were standard on the capri lasers, and theres plenty of them around

[Gus!!]

Yeah but i'm not keen on them if they arent diamond cut, with the smooth front edges, and they are more expensive like that!!

[jonyb4]

your talking about the escort RS1800, Capri RS2600 or possibly even X-pack wheels

[Gus!!]

I think they were on the mk1 fiesta supersport??

[Gus!!]

Just a picture i took at work today!!

[Ratspeed]

Capri peppers with 175/50/13s and coilies is what you need. I really dont think any variety of the rs4 spoke suits a mk3.

[jonyb4]

i think the peppers look fine tbh

[Ratspeed]

Capri peppers are wider jony. All about 175s on 7j's

[Gus!!]

The tyres i have now are 185's i just want some lower profiles!!

[Ratspeed]

175/50/13. the ONLY tyre for pepperpots

[jonyb4]

lol shut up ya terrorist, will look gash, 205s or go home

[Ratspeed]

Balloon spec? Maybe on a Crapi but not a fez

[Gus!!]

i think 205's would be mental!! I will have to wear these ones out first!! I am doing some research into an xr2 cvh right
Now anyways!!
