Yeah I appreciate what you're saying, yeah we are building the car for track use - so we're looking to get a decent cheap set of 15" wheels (don't want second hand ones) and just looking for the best tyre. Toyo 888's seem to be the most highly regarded (or one of) tyres for track use - I'd...

Thanks for the response - so you're saying it's worthwhile buying better tyres than Toyo T1R's for track, but you mentioned later on to go with "Yoko AD08 's / Toyo R1r's/ Nankang ns2R's/ federal rsr's"?

Not overly fussed about spending extra on lightweight wheels (ultraleggera) etc, tempted by this: http://www.wheelbasealloys.com/alloy-wheels/team-dynamics/jet/silver/15-inch/195-50-15/toyo/proxes-t1-r/v-max-149-mph £439.00 for 4x 15" TD Wheels + 4x Toyo Tyres..seems pretty good to me...

We've recently purchased a silver 172 cup for trackdays. What's the best way to go about getting 15" wheels/tyres? Can we buy some reasonably cheap new 15" wheels that will do the job (prefer to buy new than second hand)? Also what are the best 15" track tyres (and price if possible)? And what...

Nice pictures - really shows how nice of a colour mondial is. And shows turini's are definitely the best looking wheel for 1*2s!

Thanks for the response mate.

Nice to hear good reviews - where exactly is S&MWM and how much did the re-map cost you? And was it just a custom map & set up on rollers? Thanks

Just spotted these: http://www.primaracing.com/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=33295 Which seem extremely good value at £295.00. I've seen the other topic in this section regarding whether these are the same as GT cams - but what im basically asking here is what kind of gains/changes in power/torque...

Very smart car indeed mate. Looks like standard 197 diffuser with aftermarket exhaust? Actually looks really neat there, what exhaust is it?

Ah ok - thanks for the info!

Really interested in purchasing one of these forgive me if im being stupid but it's £70 right? And what if your wheel has a chunk of the rubber/plastic taken out? Ours has about a 1inch wide chunk taken out on the outer steering wheel!

Does the wheel actually come thinner then? Less thick leather or something similar?

What gets me is how the power just plummits after 5.250 rpm? Is this normal for this kind of build? Seems odd!

Thank you for responses all, I appreciate what you're saying chip, I also did mention I don't want it so loud that it sounds "tinny", which is similar to what you're saying about it saying it will sound "broken", this is exactly what I don't want. Yes this is the engine that puts out very decent...

I hear what you're saying, but it's just too quiet atm!

I know this question has been asked 100 times, so apologies for that, but where is the best place to get a custom stainless-steel backbox for my fiesta 1.0 ecoboost zetec-s. The car is so quiet and I want some exhaust noise! Not going full chav, but i'd like it pretty loud (don't hate), maybe...

^ looks spot on on the Ph1, not keen on it on the 182 though imo.

Thanks for responses! How dark would 17% be? And why 17%, is that some sort of benchmark for window tinting? I just want OEM look really! ​Thanks

Seriously nice car, really like the STs. Just bought myself a mk7.5 White Fiesta Zetec-S 1.0 Ecoboost. Really enjoying the car so far, a lot punchier than you'd expect! Considering one of these next, I love them in white with the blue side stripe (no OTT stripes). General concensus is they are...

Very nice cars indeed, both of them, what springs/coilovers is the 197 sitting on?

Just bought my Fiesta Zetec-S 1.0 Ecoboost. I'm wanting to tint the rear 3 windows to look like it has factory tints. Where's the best place to get the job done properly - and how much I am looking to spend? Also, anyone have any idea how much tint the Fiestas have out of the factory with the...

I see, thanks for clearing that up! What kind of things can be personalised, just colour of stitching/types of leather?

So you get an entirely new wheel, not just a refurbed version of your old one? Nice wheel btw!

See what you mean about turinis, obviously its down to opinion, but i really think it looks superb on flame red (similar-ish overall look to trophy) as in red on anthracite. Also pretty sure K-tec 182 exhaust can be done pretty cheaply with cut outs on 172 bumper, but would you need a new bumper...

Whack some anthracite turinis on and do the 182 exhaust conversion, definitely worth it, im with you on the whole 182 exhaust looks better! Saw a flamer with anthracite turinis on, looked epic (didn't have 182 exhaust though!). At the end of the day its upto you what to do.

Looks very nice indeed!

Very nice indeed! What's the spec? And how much does it weigh in at? Must go some!

Looks quick! Are these really rev hungry engines or do they have reasonable low down torque? Seems like you can get one to 150+ BHP by only spending ~£1200!

Can't tell if SRS? "WILL SAY THIS CAR WHEELIES ON HARD ACCELERATION, THAT'S WHAT MADE HIM BUY IT, " "PLZ THIS CAR WILL NEED TOWING OR TRAILER, " Really can't tell if he's being serious or not!

Anthratice/silver turinis needed! Imo ofcours :D very nice car there though. Any pics of the T? Or are they elsewhere and i'm missing them?!
