before my hcs finally shat itself it'd had done 87k and at least 15 of those were with a f**cked headgasket

[fezza89]

got all the steels on now, dont look too bad but obviously the alloys look better. its very close to scraping coming out the garage now

now i just want to get the rest of the kit off for a respray

[Michael!]

when do you actually drive this
i like it better with these than with the turbo alloys!

[RSGeorge]

dont look too bad but obviously the alloys look better.

Totally disagree there. That looks the funlumps exactly how it is, nice touch with the rim tape I know I said I wasnt feeling it but now they are on the car im lovin it. Really do look like ATS cups lol but I think you should leave them on, forget the turbo wheels

[fezza89]

thanks for the positive comments

michael! - it doesnt get used alot , this year is the most ive used it since i got it. why do you ask???

RSGeorge- i think they look good aswell,i actually painted the rim instead of tape, i got an 80 odd pence pot of green paint called jade green from b&q hoping it would be a close enough match to the strips,luckily its nearly exactly the same colour i just dont like them being 13s i wish i had 14s like them.

[Ratspeed]

I like it better with the steelies too!

[fezza89]

cheers dude

I think I've got a set of 14's still off my old car. Originally off a focus.

thanks, the good bit about polishing the steel wheels is that there aint layers and layers of paint to rub down ive started doing my dads kia sorento alloys, cant believe how many coats of paint are on them

i was propper happy they put my car in the mag, god knows what id be like if i had a propper feature

[fezza89]

looks awesome man. lower?

thanks mate

its lowerd 40mm at the moment, ive got a set of coilovers in the garage in need of a rebuild, i might aswell get them fixed up and stick em on when i got some extra money. i dont want to go crazy low though because of the humps round my way , i dont want to be refitting the exhaust everyday

bugga if you still got them next year i could be interested

[dontpannic]

I doubt they'll be going anywhere just yet lol. I've got two sets of alloys to scrap first lol

[russ-RST]

Those steelies look the nuts mate!! well impressed with them defo better than the frst alloys I say keep them and if you can't go lower get some 14's and do the same to them, can you get that style steelie in 15's? Has given me an idea

Seriously keep them they look great and compliment it perfectly just needs the stance and the lump sorted now

[jonyb4]

nah theyre just in 13s

the 14s are different, small round holes instead

[fezza89]

not an update

just thought id stick a photo up of how low it is going in my garage

[Ratspeed]

punk as f**k!

[jonyb4]

eeek, thing is there pretty much the chunkiest tyres for 13s lol

[Michael!]

not low enough

[b0yracer]

looks good mate, youve made a excellent job of those steelies too, nice car

[fezza89]

thanks mate, ive not done anything else with it since the last update,its been garaged since october.

just focusing on getting rust sorted and getting the engine running better

[tom9876]

cars looking good mate . the steels look good on it

[Rs Adz]

them steels look cool very nice project

[fezza89]

thanks dude

its a long project still loads of things need doing on it like electric windows, central locking and one day a frst engine

[Rs Adz]

yer i need a frst engine in my daily

[fezza89]

some of you may know ive been having some idling issues with this. i was advised to get a new idle motor so i got a brand new ford motor for peanuts on ebay stuck it on but it then wouldnt idle at all. then i was told i had to adjust the tps, so i tried that and still no luck. got my grumpy mechanic round to see what he thinks, charged me £20 for doing nothing so i decided to just get another tps and try that.

sent rseddie a pm asking if he knew anyone who had one knocking about and the next day he had one waiting for me couldnt find a more helpfull bloke

so went and picked it up, stuck it on today and it ticks over perfect now

[jonyb4]

a match made in heavan

good news!

[b0yracer]

what is tps and where is it

[rsturbonutter]

The tps is a throttle position sensor and it is located on the inlet

[b0yracer]

ok cheers i had just worked out what it is will my 1.1 hcs have one of these mines cfi set up

[fezza89]

yes yours should have one although the one in my 1989 mk3 1.1 is different to the one in this

its black with writing on with a green cable cover leading to a 3 pin plug on the right side of the carb under the air box
