The Fiesta (Sigh)

yeah i guessed the discs would have been rusty, but it was the grinding noise coming from them, thats why i thought the pads/discs were low, as it turns out it must have just been a sticky caliper

Sticky caliper doesnt cause grinding, it would cause overheating of the disk leading to break fade on one side - i had this and it was a real arse, only fixable with a replacement caliper or replacing the seals.

Car looks ok, my was totaly battered too when I got it, wing mirror even fell off on drive home!

@ dan, i know what splitters ur on about, are the skirts the same as the xr2i ones then?

will ave to throw some pics up

@ Mrmoley, yeah i know it dosent cause grinding, it was making the noise of the brakes sticking, like a rubby grindy sound, i know what i mean lol, brakes are all good anyways!!

really starting to get a feel for the car now, well nice to drive and handles pretty well too

the xr2i ones have the arches aswel these dont like if u go on my fb ul see pics of my white fiesta its the kit that was on that

righteo, i collected my xr2i arches and skirts, and the H&R 40mm springs from my mums this weekend

also, im thinking a bodgey respray, rattle can jobbie, any ideas on colour, like si said, black is played out man

still high at the back though, looks like im runnin some serious rake :/

Cut some more coils off the back then!

With colour... go for yellow

Also, Who is Fiesta Simon did you steal your sig from him.

watch your lower arms now chris, ford ones are notoriously crap

lol, yea fiesti simon didnt mind!!
yellow sounds good tho, just need to find alloys, didnt end up buying those other ones, just dont look right i think, i want some of the 7 spoke diamond cut ford ones, but they pricey

also, i have looked at the lower arms, they are like new and bushes r good

may have to chop some coils off the back, its ridiculus, may chop some front ones for a bit more lows, haha

I'll give you £50 towards buying the 7 spokes if you bring those crappy old speedline wheels down for me ?

bit more lows on the back, and maybe white wheels? or black wheels, im quite liking the stealth look lol

Crease, if you send me your rear springs, along with £20, I will swap them for some shorter lowering springs. Sound like a deal?

lmao, or i cud just take a grinder to my old ones..

those speedlines, 100 n they r urs!

£50 and I'll swap your original springs, for shorter ones. Free of charge. Okay?

dude wtf.. u sure u bought lowering springs for the rear?

positive, they were 4 h&r lowering springs thst i bought for my old fiesta!
