time for another update, ive been a bit busy with the car lately, firstly i picked up a few bits from tweek at alton towers, for free many thanks good sir

matt black cam cover



removed the egr, finally the tape is there because the throttle cable used to rub on something, i havent bothered removing it



and today i have just finished fitting my new wheels that i aquired from mole259







when money allows i will be respraying the wheels black

any comments are welcome as always

[jayrs]

sweet as mate, thought ya wanted a std looking xr2i?

[bakewell001]

Wehey my old wheels

Needs some slammage though

[fiend]

The wheels look very sexy, can't wait to see what they look like in black!

[hb69]

jay- i did, but i went on track at castle combe a few months ago, and it became clear using 13's with a biiig tyre wall didnt do much for the traction or handling, and as im planning on going on track as much as possible im doing everything i can to improve the handling, and i think these wheels look nicer than the old 2i alloys

steve-its as low as its going to go, the rear is higher because its stripped out and ive fitted the koni adjustables at the back, which have springs that make the car sit higher than the front set up.

fiend-it wont be long before i spray them black

the engine has recently started sounding a bit awful though, below is a video taken of it idling

[jayrs]

i hear ya fella, and yeah, they do look better than 2i wheels

[S2Steve]

I'm pleased with your purchase mate, get them black though, will make the world of difference!

[knuckles]

Track female provider of 'horizontal refreshment'

Cant believe you binned the 2i wheels

[Summer22]

Those wheels do look good on your car, keep them silver tho too much black makes it a very dark car

[Turboboy67]

Nice one matey, you won't be dissapointed with those Konis

Let me know which track days your doing,

As I will probably join you in my soon to be purchased track weapon

I really want to do Brands next year,

my mate is looking into the days when you can run the full curcuit

Cheers

[hb69]

cheers for the comments guys

brands is definately one i want to do, mainly for the first corner looks so much fun, ill be looking into doing a trackday in the new year i think, as soon as money allows really

whats this track weapon you speak of shaun??

[Turboboy67]

I will start a thread up when shes in my possession

Fiesta RS1800

Yeah Paddock Hill bend @ Brands is awesome,

I've been a passenger around Brands but never driven..........yet

Bedford aerodrome looks a good one as well, whole day for £100, thats in Feb next year.

And of course Combe has several actions days.

[Tweek]

That cam cover has turned out absolutely awesome, well chuffed that turned out nice! Definitely looks the shizz. Wheels, well, I prefered the standard XR2i alloys on there but they look alright I guess

[hb69]

i finally got round to sorting out the exhaust system the other day, i bought a 3" ashley exhaust, as they are cheap and i had one with the cvh which did the job fine. took a while to fit, getting the old exhaust off took about an hour as it was veeeeery reluctant to come loose. anyway, a couple of pics





i also managed to get a K&N air filter to replace the rubbish old one, i only paid £10 for it so its not in brilliant condition, but works fine



and i managed to lower the rear of the car more by refitting my old spax springs with the koni shocks, and fitted some new fogs i bought off turboboy, took a couple of pics after id washed it

[Turboboy67]

Looking good fella

You not fitted the front Konis yet ??

I can't wait to get out on track now

Cheers

[hb69]

cheers shaun, the rear konis are on, not done the fronts yet. waiting till i can get some new top mounts to fit at the same time. yeah im anxious to get back on track now too, just need to save a couple of hundred and ill be booking a trackday

[S2Steve]

Exhaust is lloking nive mate, can't wait to hear it in person!

[TIL13R]

you probably have 195/50/15s on yours though steve, and my tyres are brand new.if your tyres are 195/45/15's and have loads of tread then we have a deal

[bakewell001]

I have 195/45's too with loads of tread HACTUALLY

Not sure if i want to keep them or not though...

[hb69]

really, the TD's have 195/45's? sweet, im up for a swap if you want then. if not then its cool with me, just means spraying the evo 3's

[bakewell001]

Maybe i'll come down and "try one on" at the weekend. PM me if you're free

[Ram]
