Re: TTF - Si *update 2/11/08*
fitted my new locking wheels nuts today and they have done the job. i no longer have sticking out centre caps
looks a lot better now. i thought i had taken pics of the 2 different locking nuts to show the difference in size but the camera obviously didnt take the picture. turned out that they were about 5-7mm bigger than the new fiesta ones. can certainly see the difference.
before (apolagee's for dirty wheels)
after
have found an si back box now courtesy of Smo, which i should be picking up tonight. just need to fit that and get it lowered

Re: TTF - Si *update 12/11/08*
fitted the si back box and it lks miles better. makes no difference in sound which i new any way just did it for the lks. couldnt get tha damn thing to go all the way up the mid section were they connect. but its on and its not blowing so not to bothered at mo. apolagies for the dirty car havent washed in a few weeks
before-1.6 ghia box
after-si box
how far it stands out. not to bad as u cant see were it connects up to the bigger tail pipe. no biggie though
ive only looked at peoples si's from the angle looking straight at the box. so if any 1 could get a pic of an si with the box from the angle the same of the above would be really good to see the difference between mine, to see how far it stands out. tks
also on the lowering front been a bloody mare.
started yesterday got all the bottom of the front strut out then found i didnt have a big enough spanner for the top strut nut in the engine bay . so bought 1 today got the whole thing out this time, compressed the springs and now the nut at the top will not budge at all. so got really annoyed , put all back together and decided im going to buy a whole set of struts and springs possibly coilovers. will get some in the new year, around spring time (fingers crossed)
also getting a small hole welded up tomorrow before the winter sets in

If its been done, does that mean your car is lowered now?

In the morning when 150 Fiesta's turned up (UKFN, ZSOC, STOC etc) they were moved on, but we went inside for food therefore escaping the moving on procedure
