If he does mention them then his testicles are coming off and being fed to the dog that is the HATERS.

[jonyb4]

[EUFez]

em come on guys dont spread the plauge

Yeah, sorry Toby. Didn't mean to spread the dreaded plague over to your thread. Jony's thread has gone, mine is on it's way out. I just hope yours survives. Just don't upload any pictures LOL

[Minstral]

james get on to one of the mods to remove the last 10 pages of crap in yr thread.
ill keep posting with stuff that happens to the car you wont get many ppl on here liking the euro stuff. end of the day keep posting and take no notice keep the mk3, your almost there with the project now. as long as you like it dont matter what other people think. push the scene.

[jonyb4]

i dont agree that fiestas are very euro, many have tried with the mk6, two recently in FF and they just didnt work, this current issue its stupid, the camber and stretch on his tyres is rediculas

[Minstral]

i didnt say anything about fiestas or fords, but the type of sight that ft is that most ppl will not like euro styling, end of day different people opinions.
what you see as ridiculous we and a few others on here like that

i wont reply to any more of the chat as is ruining the threads at the moment, as long as its about the car

[jonyb4]

yea like you said toby, its down to taste

i personally prefere and love the purposeful motorsport look

[THOMMA55]

Love it, James told me the other night that youve bought one and got some mad wheels so had to have a look.

funny that ive just bought mine and has the same problems as yours... with the grille being held in by screws.. the passenger headlight sitting bad, and the passenger side foglight cracked haha, Look forward to seeing it slammed on them wheels

[:: blade ::]

looking good this mate track time at combe i think you should whack it on

[Minstral]

hoping to iain

first update of the year
bought shauns cossie front brake steup the other day but something fouls the caliper from sitting straight which mk3's dont have, luckily a friend of shauns wants them back so i wont have lost anything on them.
back on the look out for some fiesta st brakes. i would go for the 300mm setup that can still fit under 15's but i dont think the show wheel will fit over them which is why im now going for st's hopefully.

anyway been meaning to finish of painting the underside of the car
done as much of the boot floor as i could without having to take anything off.
before after a quick wash, suprisngly clean and not much in the way of rsut only surface at that which was taken back with a wire brush

after


later in the year when its warmer i aim to take the back box off and the heatshileds and paint underneath, possibly the whole exhaust system and do the middle as well. need to get some hammerite spray as well for the hard to reach places that my brush cant get to

also does anyone know what the bar across the middle of the floor is can be seen in the first pic the black bar. doesnt seem to do anything that i can see

[leighk2010]

looking good mate why your down there dont want get me some pics of how the fuel lines are routed from the tank do you

and is that bar not what the spare wheel tray joins to?

[Minstral]

na spare wheel tray joins to the 2 supports hangin down at the back of the pic

[jonyb4]

never heard of cossie brakes not fitting

V6 brakes deffo fit done that myself

anyway why insit on having 280mm brakes?

some RS2000 ones are more than enough


my Si has more power and im fine with my RS2k brakes (awaits most powerful 1.8 in world comments )


undersid elooks better toby, im with you on waiting to do behind the backbox though, tis too cold lol

[knuckles]

never heard of cossie brakes not fitting

they dont fit because they going onto a mk5 hub which is no doubt different to a mk3 hub

[jonyb4]

havent notice any difference betweent he mk3 and mk4 hubs, swear ive hear dof people fitting them to the mk4/5


hmm

[fiend]

The 130 spec Zetec is fine with the standard Mk3 brakes.

Is that bar there to reduce body flex/stiffen the shell?

[jonyb4]

lol i dont regard the standard 240s with much, useless infact

i think its there to protect the chassis/spare wheel as its quite springy

Having good brakes isnt all linked back to your cars power, its to do with weight. The brakes on your car aren't stopping the bhp your engine is producing its slowing down the car, which is weight. This applys to most road cars, especially MK3's running under 200bhp. In the whole 2 years of owning my RS1800 I never felt the need to upgrade the brakes. From what I understand Toby is planning future power upgrades so I can understand why he wants ST brakes.

[jonyb4]

yea fair point

i had the st brakes on the si and they were so good once you've felt something as good as that nothign really compares can be arsed with discs and pads, must be bigger

[Tweek]

Jony, your 1.8 is only 130 spec, wouldn't say it has "more power"

Cossie/ST brakes coupled with braided lines are good for track and emergency stopping

[EUFez]

Looking good buddy. Can't wait to see it on the alloys.

Jony has actually put me off the Si's now. Dunno why. Use to really like them.

[jonyb4]

someone failed maths...

130spec= 130ps at factory, the Zetec s has 99-105ps depending which year it is, therefore it has less


what was meant by what i said is the more power you have the faster you can go, and less time it takes to get to that speed, but ofcouse wayne would rather take the piss than see reasoning,

[MK2 Jamie]

Wayne isn't really in a position to take the piss either when you consider his car has two extra doors

hes carring two full size cows around with him

[Tweek]

Leathers are out

I guess all that extra weight warrants bigger brakes then

[Minstral]

jon obviously the bigger the brakes the quicker you can stop, doesn depend on how powerful your car is. i no zs's arent the quickest, but i would rather have a car that handles well and brakes well. my polo gti was quicker but the zs's is lighter and handles better so it makes up for it plus most zs's are around the 115bhp mark that ive seen for standard ford underread them i heard so they werent competing with vtr's and the like

[jayrs]

coming on nice mate.
maybe the bar is there on that boot flor to ensure the sprae wheel doesnt move around? maybe it clamps up against it, although i cant see the need for it as ford would just make different wheel trys like they did on the mk3, so if its not for that, i dunno
