Yeah next weekend is fine. I will check and get back to you about the mounts

Cheers fella.

[Ratspeed]

This will look awesome dropped on coilies.

I hope those wheels dont have stretched tyres, they are dangerous, they will fall off the rims and you will die

[EUFez]

Don't start that, haha!

That's all I'm doing with the ZS, slamming it on the Borbet's, clean the body a bit. Get some new interior, some Recaro's maybe.

Keep it simple, none of this smoothing BS.

[rs220bhp]

Hi mate. Rear shocks are the non fork type. So there the same design as the mk3 fiesta. Send me a pm if there suitable.

[EUFez]

Coilovers Saturday, fitted on the Sunday Can't wait!

[andymac]

Awesome, plus the snow has shifted - ideal timing

[Ratspeed]

Its Sunday? wheres the lows?

[EUFez]

Pictures to follow my man...

[jonyb4]

[EUFez]

Pick up the Coilovers tomorrow Then fit them. Can't wait.

[Michael!]

excited to see how this will look on your borbets...

[EUFez]

Gaz coilovers bought today. Thanks to RS220bhp.

I will be fitting them tomorrow, that's if my mate don't let me down



Osram fog lights and sidelights. Gonna get the full Osram bulb kit.



Unfortunately my Yoko tyre for the Mondie alloys is unrepairable. So I still have a Borbet alloy still on the rear... Gonna get them all fitted in about a weeks time with full lows.

[rs220bhp]

Did you find that scrap yard in chobham mate. Ill get you the details if not.

[jonyb4]

oh yes, very good

[EUFez]

Did you find that scrap yard in chobham mate. Ill get you the details if not.

No pal. Didn't in the end... Didn't have time. Going to A1 scrappy to have a look. It's closer, cheers anyway pal.

[EUFez]

Major fails as me and my mate could not get the top mount loose. I'm just gonna wait until I'm ready with everything in front of me. Get the tyres sorted for the Borbets, sort my windscreen. Then get the coilovers air gunned off, everything on my ZS is major tight, proper torqued on. Shame... No lows for a while guys. Hope to finish it in time for FITP.

[EUFez]

Good but yet no so exciting news, got my fogs working and side lights fitted. Pain in the bum getting bulbs in compared to a Mk3, had to take the headlight out just to put a bulb in? Silly

Osram yo!

[dontpannic]

FITP? Jesus man you don't hang around!! I'd be straight down the local tyre shop getting the top mounts slackened off with the air gun then spend an hour fitting the coilies!

[EUFez]

LOL lazy I know. Started to rain to so I was like, meh.

FITP... Fiesta in the park? Am I missing something here?

[jonyb4]

Ugh hate everything being over tightened!!

expect lots of rounding off bolts

[Michael!]

I had similar issues with my zetec s!

Think you'll find the back ones will come off with ease, pissed me off that at the time haha

[dontpannic]

No lows for a while guys. Hope to finish it in time for FITP.

You've got the memory of a goldfish too

Sorry mate, my brain is wearing away from all the work hours I do

I'll fit them when I can. I'll just go to a garage and tell them to loosen top mounts for me.

Is it just my ZS or is everything stiff? Doors are stiff, key barrels are getting tougher by the day. Even to fold the seat forward to let people in the back is a struggle.

[trecoll]

My drivers door has recently gotten stiff

[Michael!]

my drivers door was stiff as f**k, as were the seats. and pedals thinking about it!

also the electric windows were always a bit dicky.

[EUFez]

My mrs trying to open my doors, both side is funny as f**k! Must admit though they are tough to open.

[EUFez]

Hi guys,

I'm having issues fitting my Borbets to the ZS, and I'm not gonna fit the coilovers until I get the wheels sorted.

The alloys are the right fitment it's just when the wheels are on the studs are a tad too short, and the wheel nuts just about fit on. Even with the wheel nuts on I can't put the centre caps over the top because the nuts are too thick. Can I somehow get longer wheel studs? Shorter nuts to fit them on? I don't want my wheels falling off again, scary expirence.

Cheers.

[- Danny Boy -]

You can get longer studs yes, but shorter nuts I'm not too sure about. I presume you are using the standard ford wheel nuts?

[EUFez]

You can get longer studs yes, but shorter nuts I'm not too sure about. I presume you are using the standard ford wheel nuts?

Yes, using standard Ford ones. I'm just gonna have to leave the centre caps off then I guess.

Nothing is ever simple with me haha!

[Michael!]

you can get longer studs, iirc they're relativly easy to do too...

[Rhinopower]

Open ended nuts?

[EUFez]

I'll take a look. Thanks guys, I've had these wheels two year now and still haven't fitted them yet.

[EUFez]

Open ended nuts?

Are these suitable?


Look at this on eBay:

10 x Wheel hubcentric spacer nuts shallow Slimline 12x1.5 thread open ended FORD

[- Danny Boy -]

They look alright, but how much room have you got to play with? Because if you can get away with standard open end ford ones I would use them.

You'll need at least 12 nuts too, if you are using 4 locking nuts too. Why they sell them in sets of 10 is beyond me lol.

The other option is to get a load of open end ford nuts from the scrappy free - if they let you have them, then use some man power and cut them down to size
