i got a quote from them, then got a quote from nukar... nukar pretty much cut the quote in half and started boasting how much better they are than i.d.morris.

really wish id used i.d.morris now, would of paid more but its worth it if your happy with the results

[fezza89]

[jonyb4]

wow they cleaned up remarkably

do you mind me asking what they set you back mate? im eager to buy a set of these for the Si, i need to lol one of my shocks got an advisory on the last mot for starting to leak

[fezza89]

yeah i though so

i got them because my shocks got knocked at the last mot,

i believe they were £75

[jonyb4]

ahh thats not bad mate

whats happend to them coilovers then?

[fezza89]

theyre just sitting in my garage, i got my money back for them offered them back to the seller and he said hes got no use for them because hes got a vw now.

so ill keep them incase he changes his mind, but then ill get the rebuilt at a later date

[fezza89]

not done much to the car lately so not alot to report,

last year i used steel wheels for winter in matt black, they looked crap, so i thought id give them a bit of a spruce up,nothing special but i dont want to ruin my alloys with all the pot holes.

this took me around 3 hours

before


after




im happy with the results, the polished steel is alot more shiney than they appear in the photos, i still have to compound the laquer up

[Minstral]

they look good.
look like ats cups or Remotec Allulines

[Michael!]

i really like that!

good idea got any pictures of them on?

[RSGeorge]

Thats a two thumbs fresh from me.

Might do a set of these for the mk2

[fezza89]

thanks for all the comments

Minstral- they do look similar dont they,id never heard of them wheels before but ive managed to do some similar strange

RSGeorge- i would imagine these would look the nuts on a mk2 especially if it was lowered

Michael!- photos as requested





i only put the wheel up against the car for photos, tyres need a good clean now

[RSGeorge]

Not feeling it tbh I think its because they are not on the car, come winter Im sure we will get pics with them fitted properly but.......

how fudgekin low is your car loving it

[russ-RST]

I think they will look ok on but I think the profile of the tyres ruins the look :/ and that's not low

[fezza89]

i cant have low profile tyres on because it would defeat the object of winter wheels for potholes, and i know if i was to get low profiles on and had done this to a set of alloys id end up liking them too much to use for winter

[Michael!]

i do really like them!
get a bit of stretch on those skinny badlads!

[Minstral]

dont think people seem to understand that these are winter wheels, so he doesnt ruin the standard wheels in the snow potholes etc that occurs in winter. instead of boring steelies he has tarted them up a bit, done a good job. so now the car will look better in winter but they still serve the purpose of winter wheels

[RSGeorge]

Agreed Minstral

been having some cutting out issues lately with the car, a mechanic i used to use told me that my engine and every hcs engine is crap and they blow up when they reach 60,000 miles he followed this by saying the sierra 1.8 cvh was a load of crap and people throw them away i know hcs's aint the fastest of engines but from what ive heard and experienced they are pretty reliable.he's got to be the most negative person ive ever come across anyway i had a quick look today and found the little flap thing in the airbox. i was going to take the whole spout on the airbox off and run some hosing from the wheel arch to the box but then i found a button. i pushed the button in and released the flap and it now holds the flap open allowing more air in took it for a quick run round the block from cold and it runs perfectly now, seems slightly quicker aswell

my hcs was fine had it around 70-80k miles. ran it on no oil either for a bit not on purpose was still fine

[fezza89]

yeah ive heard of someone else running theres with no oil with no problems aswell,mines a couple of hundred miles off of hitting 60,000 im hoping what ive done has cured the problem

[RSGeorge]

What a load of toss, I had a HCS engine in my old escort and that had 140000 miles on the clock and I can bet the engine was never looked after (I know I didnt lol). The engine was out lasting the bodywork lol

[fezza89]

i take everything he says with a pinch of salt, when i 1st got the car i got him round to look it over, he done nothing but run it down which really pissed me off because i was only 16 and i was propper happy with it. he said every mk3 fiesta you see on the road is on its 3rd engine i thought f*ck off mate your taking the piss now.i wouldnt mind but he's van looks like a major m.o.t failure all the sills are rotten...runs lovely though lol
