I saw the aftermath of this - was quite messy indeed. Lucky sod!

Having exhausted all my options trying to get these wheels to fit, I've been left with no option but to sell them on! Gutted. Anyway - just posting should they be of interest to anyone on here. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150293749112 Pics of them on the car are...

Ford compatible? ;) The ST needs all the help it can get to beat off those 1.6 Clios. ;)

^^ lol @ that last link. TBF tho, you're always going to get a Fiesta forum bigging up Fiestas. Likewise you get you lot bigging up Clios on here! lol. i.e. "1.6 Clio = Fiesta ST" There's no point arguing though, the 1*2 is quicker, lighter and probably gets the nod (just!) handling wise...

It's the manifold and standard airbox that are so restrictive in standard form. Moreso than what's standard on a 1.0 KA I was told - lol. That's why people get really good gains from not much ££. K&N gives a confirmed 11BHP! You could be right about the CAT though - not heard that one.

lol. Ok - add £235 for fitting. But that's not the point as even with that you're not talking 'a couple of G's. It doesn't compare to the 182 with respect to performance etc - I don't think it was intended too. It's only insurance group 13 - hence the young un's buying them and giving the...

Ahem - £1200. And that's not the cheapest - I admit I was a lil cheap though. http://www.pumaspeed.co.uk/showdetails.php?id=552

The 182 is considerably quicker. End of. lol. b****cks. Jeez - £8k? Dunno how that works. The ST engine is great for good power gains and not much £££. I would say 180 could be had for about £600-700?

Only a few hours left: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150284420346 Just thought I'd post on here too. Cheers - Matt

Looks mint - love it. Any plans to swap the wheels over? How much would you charge to PC the ST btw? ;)

lol, there already is considerable camber on em - I'll get some pics up. Tyre wear is attrocious! Hmm, maybe arch modifications is the answer. The thing is as they stand - they don't fit. I don't want to be getting into the whole 'throwing good money after bad' scenario. Still 17s as...

Cheers Sam, Ad. Yeah I like the look too - they're great on the back as is. No scrubbage. But the fronts are no go. Anyone know of any place in the NW that'll machine something like that? All the places I can find are essex way.

Took some better pics of the wheels fitted to the rear. No scrubbage this time on the back! Although - I'm not sure there's enough of the wheel to machine down on the fronts. I need to lose at least 10mm and that's eating into the bolt holes. i.e. there aint much metal for the bolt to hold. Am...

Cheers! Better pics coming at the weekend, then I'll make my mind up for sure. :cool:

^^ lol, if only I drove in a perfectly level straight line - I'd probably agree. New tyres are a must first, so if anyone wants some 215/40/17 Toyo Proxes T1's give us a shout!

lol, I have a cup splitter from my clio in the garage!

:quiet: lol, joker!

Cheers Ad. They're def staying silver though. At a push maybe a light anthracite, but they're pretty much spanking new so a refurb would be a bit of a waste tbh.

Wash your mouth out! lol. Really REALLY don't want to have to do that tbh. Last resort! They do look good, but along with SuperT's, they've been done to death on the ST's. As far as I know, no other ST (certainly ones online) has Turinis. Judging by the amount of scrubbage I can see why! ;)...

On a ET35 offset? I couldn't move the car without it scrubbing lol. Yeah I know - they're pretty crappy pics tbh. I'm contemplating stickin em back on one side for more pics. Not made my mind up tbh, and I thought I'd love em.

Why'd the ZS go so soon mate?

Bought these at the weekend - always fancied a set, Clio ownership must've taught me something! hehe. Not sure whether to keep them tbh. They're ET35 which is a massive offset for a Fiesta, so they stick out loads. :cool: But the larger profile tyres coupled with the offset and coilovers...

Cheers mate :D Yeah, it's such a restrictive system as standard - breathing mods make a hell of a difference...and for not much £££ either. Yeah I got it sorted, I paid and got it repaired (excellent - spottless job btw) wrote to the guy and basically gave him 30 days to pay or I'd take...

Cheers bud, I'd say its a healthy drop of about 80-90mm. Could go more, but wouldn't be able to get down the driveway. :(

Yeah, the K&N helps too though. ;) A confirmed 11bhp gain, when I get it fitted. Thanks mate, still needs a lil work tbh - little bit of noise in some of the pics but I'm gettin there. :)

Cheers fellas. Yeah I got mine for considerably less than that end of 2006. Can't grumble. But the best bit by far - £300 to insure!! Including mods. :approve: I was tempted by the side stripes, never the OTT ones though! :o

^^ Correct, the Fiesta sporting trophy is the equivalent to the Clio Cup racing car. Just a coincidence it's the same abbreviation I think.

Yeah mate - for sure. Now I've got the date right lol.

Cheers guys! It's lowered on Weitec coilovers - best mod I've ever done tbh. Missed a pic off too! :o Some added decals to the rear:
