N0ddie's Fiesta ST

[Matthew]

Wowawewa!!

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Stopped off at Eurocentral to grab some post detail (By our Gally of course) photos. Unfortunately it was pi$$ing down so the pics were rather rushed. Anyway. 1 pic for just now whilst the rest upload:

With a small drop, that would look absolutely incredible (it does anyway)

 

[Ash']

That is stunning! I'd love one of these to see what all the fuss is about.

 

[N0ddie]

Rest pf pics:

Never thought of this as a pic location, pretty cool. Might pop down myself at some point

Its pretty cool tbh. Though be aware of where you park to take the pics.

The security guard doesn't like you parking in front of buildings in use. Not really an issue since most of them are to let.

Where did you order the wheels from? I'm mighty tempted to order some bright silver ones for mine when it arrives.

Your car has been my inspiration - looks spot on.

Also, what size/offset are they?

I ordered them from Jay @ Finsport. The guy was very helpful tbh.

They are 17 x 7 in ET42.

Pissing f**king rain!

Indoors...

Better image of the brakes also before cleaning. They do remind me of the Frp in looks as Chris said. Interesting.

 

[Matthew]

Cheers mate.

Do you mind me asking how much roughly they were (PM if you prefer).

Seen them for about £800 on one website.

I was £820 with next day delivery.

 

[Matthew]

Bob on mate. Thinking of getting some mainly to keep the stock items pristine for the hand back.

Are the speedlines a lower offset than the ford wheels then?

 

[N0ddie]

Yeah. There's about 8-10 of a difference.

 

[Matthew]

Happy days mate.

 

[Crybert]

I'm in the process of possibly selling the trophy for something more suited to motorway driving (e39 530i) however these keep popping into my head!?

I've test drove one today and it felt like it could sit on a motorway for hours tbh. Certainly a million years ahead of 182 in that respect thats for sure.

Yeah that actually very good cruisers. Mountune/stage one- 6th gear, circa 2600 rpm at 70 doing 43mpg. Toe down,diesel like surge waft mobile. Fuckin epic

Nailed.

What is it like at normal motorway speeds (instead of slip streaming grannies in the slow lane), ie 80-85?

80-85 your looking any where between 36-40 dependent on the gradient

 

[N0ddie]

Your dry braking video MarkCup

 

[N0ddie]

Turns out the Turinis are going to have to go.

With having to run spacers to clear the Mountune callipers I get a pretty bad vibration at 75mph and above. Tested it with the 5mm non-hubcentric spacers and 10mm hub centric spacers and its still there.

Disappointing as the car looks awesome on the Turinis but wanna get a wheel that will fit without spacers. Yet to decide on the replacement wheels.

 

[Gareth]

Bugger

There surely has to be another issue? i.e. the spigot ring on the alloy? I once had this once and it was the spigot ring not sitting right against the spacer. Are your spacers like this -

or like this?

Mine were like the later and new spigot rings sorted it.

 

[scott.p]

Real shame, nice set of compomotives? Or are they not to your liking? Got to say it looked great on the speedlines

They are like the top ones.

The problem I have is that I have no way of testing without using spacers as I don't have any wheels that'll clear the calliper,

 

[Matthew]

Do you really need the brakes?

Why not sell them and keep the wheel? They look great.

 

[MarkCup]

That's a shame. Given the choice, for me, it would be wheels over brakes every day.

 

[Gally]

Rally spec!

 

[N0ddie]

Wheels arrived today. They look better than I thought they'd be.

Tried them on to make sure they fitted with no issues:

Unfortunately not gonna be able to get them fitted until next week but at least they fit (JUST) without spacers.

 

[Matthew]

You selling your turinis at special discounted price? ha

 

[N0ddie]

I'll be asking £600 when I get them off the car, cleaned and advertised.

 

[Matthew]

Hmmm must consider them... Ha

 

[_Tom]

This genuinely upsets me.

 

[Gally]

Oh Martin....

 

[Clart]

definitely a step backwards.

 

[N0ddie]

Just the one pic for now:

Yes, they aint quite as good looking as the Turinis however I like them better than I thought I would. Emma prefers how it looks now over the Turinis.

Not really the look I had originally planned when I bough the car but hey.

 

[MarkCup]

I quite like that N0ddie. Certainly shows of the mahoosive brakes!

 

[Matthew]

Hmmm not sure about them.

 

[Heez]

Needs more Ultraleggeras.

I like the 1.2s but it just seems to be missing something.
