my xr2i 07/10/2008

Postby slaney21 on Thu Sep 04, 2008 11:15 pm

hey all

just got back from my mates garage after a few hours putting a few bits and bobs on my car. I intended to leave it standard but i grew tired of it and wanted some new things to make it look a bit more sporty. After finding some bargains, my good ol mechanic friends put all of it on and heres the finished result :) needs a t-cut again at some point hence the blemishes on the bonnet.

the new bits are;
pioneer door speakers
tsw alloys with brand new tyres
koni adjustable suspension all round(think its 35mm drop?)
hammertite on the rear drums. didnt have time to do the calipers red
mk3.5 mirrors soon to have the inside plates when i get some

got my exhaust coming tomorrow or monday courtesy of robdxr2i :)
thanks to spunknik for the mirrors

at the moment its rubbing on the front slightly when i go over bumps etc.. have set the ride on the front to very stiff so am going to sort the arches out

Guessing I'm gonna have issues aswell when I get my wheels... Mines dropped 60mm! :(

They're quite decieving but I love them... They look smaller than 15s at first glance, I love them though.

Before I came onto this forum a few months back I wanted big shiney chrome rims... I'm now thinking of going for deep rims, they're lovely!

I'm a big fan of ambers now, but the clears with the blue\amber bulbs look spot on. Whats above the Ford badge on the rear?

m3matt;

if a local meet is in favour then count me in bud. wouldnt mind some snazzy photos with my fez lined up with others :D
