Cheers. They just look so clean in OEM form with a subtle drop. Seats look good but coming from bucket seats they are a bit different but this isn’t a track car so looks are higher haha.
Is your pre or post LCI? Surprised how much spec I got on mine but the fuel is another level of awfulness...
Cheers. Plan is to just keep doing small bits to it and keep it OEM. I missed off one thing.... not washed it since I’ve owned it but that’s on the list aswell ?
Before I even purchased the car I came across a set of Trendlines on the Recaro frames with pretensioners, covers and frames for a great price, so off i went up to near Sheffield to collect them, and stuck them in the garage awaiting a car. Thanks to @mossyv6
Once the car was purchased, I set...
Ive been on the lookout for a 172 cup for over a year, and gave up the search last year due to being let down, and swerving a few rough ones. The scratch needed itching so I picked up the search again in March having sold my Mountune Fiesta ST Track car last year. I know the fiestas as a...
Agree with the above.
As soon as I spot cracking now rightly or wrongly I get them changed for my own peace of mind. Probably overkill.
I had some Goodyear eagle F1 not long ago with a 2017 date stamp on them and they had started cracking after 2 years which I couldn’t believe as they still...
Such a shame that it couldn’t be saved. I was looking at this when it was up, but went for a cheaper one with more miles. Hopefully you can get straight into another though. There’s a few decent looking ones on eBay at the moment. It had a few decent parts on from what I can remember.
I’ve just gone into an e91 325i after the focus and that thing turns on a sixpence weirdly lol. I’m not tall either and struggled with kids in the back but enjoying the boot space.
It can’t be impractical if it goes from a to b. If anything it can drown some of the noise coming from the back...
Looks great. I just recently sold mine in the blue. I’m a ford man at heart, but just couldn’t get a long with it. Gadgets galore which was great but It felt really small inside for a big car and the turning circle? I hear the mountune kits are meant to give these the power they need aswell.
they take cap and glass valuations which is the recognised industry standard, not necessarily what it costs you to get in the same car. Condition and what enthusiasts think the car is worth don’t matter to them as they have to go off book value.
I went through the ombudsman for this exact...
What’s the price? Afraid it might be more than I’m looking to spend though circa £3k. I’ve been set on something else but reading this thread and the attention to detail has just swayed me ?
Feel free to send me a message if easier. Thanks!
I have just come out of a mountune MP185 which i tracked for the last 16 months. Such a capable car, and never let me down. It also had 110k on it. Uprated suspension, brakes and tyres as with a clio do a job on these.
Are you looking to turbo or asking if they are turbo, as they are N/A from...
Love the eddy's. I've had a MK5 GTI (KO3 stage 1), which i think is what prompted me to go into a Leon Cupra (KO4 stage 1), and now back in a Leon FR (K03 Stage 2) as a "cheaper" daily. I keep coming back to them for some reason, but they are good cars when looked after properly. It's bonkers...
Sounds remarkably like the cup I have just seen tonight which I didn’t end up buying. Never had a cambelt and dephaser rattling and service history patchy. 1 owner from new. 55k miles.. Tyres and wheels need sorting along with a raft of other parts after a look around I walked away. That was up...
Just one to throw in depending on where you are. jP Cages. I had one built for my fiesta ST and was a rear bolt in. If you are the first mouldings for it aswell he will do it cheaper.
I’m looking around at these now and like you say can pick up a cheaper one but also some crazy prices aswell.
I’d be interested in any recommendations.
Great looking daily, and fair play on the attention to detail. Im contemplating freeing up my track car to go down the OEM+ route, and this has just made it worse lol!
