    MarkCup's Fiesta ST

    I'll keep an eye out, cheers mate. I ordered on the 11th May, sent off Proof of ID on the 12th May. I haven't been given a delivery date yet as I haven't heard from them since sending in said ID, but I was given an 8 week estimate, which would make it the W/C 7th July. Edit; bigup, were you...

    MarkCup's Fiesta ST

    Got another 3 weeks to wait, still haven't been sent any documents by G2L yet though, might chase that up soon. What does everyone think of the standard ride height? I've seen a group buy for H&R springs on FSTOC which is tempting, despite not even having the car.

    Matthew's VW Tiguan

    Great, let me know what they get back to you with. I've heard of people being given the number plate / VIN's as soon as the order is placed, but I'm not sure if that works with G2L. I saw one of these last night and someone had lowered it, it looked very nice. I believe the normal springs are...

    Matthew's VW Tiguan

    That's good to hear, Matthew, sounds like you're enjoying it. When you ordered the car, after sending in proof of ID, did they go quiet for a few weeks? I haven't heard anything back for 2 weeks so far. Markcup, I'm surprised you don't like the rear, I was behind one the other day and think...

    I read about something similar on the focus st forums and it was related to 2 bits of metal within the suspension not being welded strong enough. Just take it to your local dealer.

    Thanks! I've been told 8 weeks but that seems rather optimistic given how many seem to have been ordered! Haha we definitely should, need to get rid of my clio now .. haha

    ***How much is it worth?***

    Due to getting a Fiesta ST, I'm selling my car, would like an idea of what mine is worth though. 55 plate BG, cupped pack 182, 73k on the clock, Recaro's from factory, lowered on cooksport springs. In definite need of tlc, or can be used as a donor. It was in a minor front end bash prior to my...

    thanks mate, ordering one on Monday now, hopefully the wait for blue with style pack isn't too long.

    Matthew's VW Tiguan

    Hi, I have a few questions as these are rather tempting .. I'm guessing you used to have a 1*2, does it feel any quicker due to the lower down power? They speak a lot about the gadgets that keep it going around corners, does it corner as well as a 1*2?

    Whats wrong with your car right now??

    Gear surround clips have all snapped off, cover now floats in free space. Exhaust gasket needs changing. Exhaust is blowing (very) badly from a different part. Gearbox mounts could do with changing. Billion other things, woop.

    Car lurching forward whilst breaking

    Afternoon All, Sometimes when slowing down using the brakes, in gear, the car will lurch forward whilst breaking. The revs aren't low enough for the car to be stalling when doing so. Have yet to actually check anything, thought it's worth an ask. Cheers.

    Myterious Tube ..

    Morning all, Noticed this small tube down by the passenger side front wheel. Its about 30cm long, few mm wide. I haven't driven it recently so haven't had a chance to check what it is .. any immediate ideas? Cheers, James

    cigarette lighter not working

    Nop it wasn't difficult, I literally just ripped it out in frustration. I've just spotted you drive a 2007 plate, where as I drive a 2005, so it's probably a different model. I'm not sure on the set up on 2007's but I would imagine it's similar, as the reader ports are located next to the...

    cigarette lighter not working

    I had this last week, ripped the cigarette lighter out and went at it with a wire brush as it looked like it had corroded or something had been spilt in there. It's now working perfectly.

    Issue fitting New Shock & Coil

    I've tried Tony, but from what I could see this would require removing the ARB etc which I've never heard of anyone having to do before?

    Issue fitting New Shock & Coil

    Ha Ron the space is fine .. the problem is that it can't swing down to line up. If I line up the bolts then I can't lift the whole unit back up onto the lower ball joint. If I put the unit above the ball joint then it's hittng the drive shaft so won't swing down .. it's as if the shock and...

    Issue fitting New Shock & Coil

    Hi Guys, Fried to fit some cooksport springs and new shocks today but had a bit of an issue. I haven't done anything like this before so followed a few guides but none of them seem to have the same issue. Picture sort of shows the issue. The bottom of the shock is sitting far too low to be able...

    Hello from Berkhamsted

    How'do, Not actually that new but I recently bought a Recaro'd BG 182. Will try to make it to some meets if there are any locally, although I haven't seen any 1*2's around. Cheers.

    Cloth Bench in a FF 182?

    Hmm .. I did, it checked out, except for being in his Dads name.. anything I should be worried about? Oh!? Are you referring to another BG 182 with Recaro's that was on a week or so ago. If so I saw that as well and they have different number plates.
