Re: my si 2.0 project rear headrest and quickshift etc
Car looks really good.
I had planned on saying i didn't like the clear rears, spoiler, wheels, mirrors or tints cos they just aint my taste, lol. But you;re seeing to most of that now anyway. New wheels and mirrors will make it much more subtle and smoother looking. Nice job mate.
Cheers,
Lee

i had no problems as far as i know, it does have rs turbo under bonnet vent plates spaced out not sure if that helps prevent the water getting in a bit

Re: my si 2.0 project rear headrest and quickshift etc
i have some of those under bonnet plates too
Just not the bonnet, but i will have
When you say spaced out, from the vent itself so some hot air can get out?

Re: my si 2.0 project rear headrest and quickshift etc

i got some brand new electric mirrors on ebay and the the looms from a scrap yard and my mate painted them heres a few pics
on the car
i think they look 100 times better and i still haven't got use to being able to see whats behind now :lolz:
they haven't been wired up yet but will do once its a bit warmer :chill:
bought some rickbrook sill protectors
not a very good picture but they say 'INJECTION' on them
also finally got my quickshift sorted as i had a few problems with it, but heres a pic
it feels really good its a escort mk4 one that has been modified to fit a fiesta
also got my boot release wired up now in the glovebox heres a pic of that of where it has been relocated
thats it for the moment but the last mods are going to be:
escort gti wheels with brand new tyres fitted next saturday
vibra technic gearbox mounts next month
new idle control valve
wire up mirrors
and sort power steering leak
and thats it
