looks good Nick, but as Clark says; surely it's time for new wheels?

[hb69]

More pictures of the show gearknob required really

[dontpannic]

Well, not much has changed, but I thought I'd put up some photos from a show and meet I attended on Sunday.

come on now nick !

its been far too long ....


Where are these new wheels ? ? ?

looks good Nick, but as Clark says; surely it's time for new wheels?

... believe it or not (!) probably not long!!

I'll explain myself, and Clark you'll probably be happy with this.

I'll start by saying I'm not bored of my current wheels, far from it, I think they're fantastic.
BUT

They're ET35. All good for MK3 fiesta's, however I get serious scrubbing issues of which I'm not sure arch rolling will actually solve. Soooo..., at some point soon, I may be picking up a set of 15" Escort GTI alloys with an ET40 offset, which should alleviate the scrubbing entirely, especially once I get 45 profile tyres all round.

DON'T LAUGH...

[jonyb4]

nice fogs nicholas!, it sliek its grinning at me

nice job at tinting them, some thing i never got round to with the mk4

[dontpannic]

Cheers Jon. Was an absolute pain in the arse to smoke them! The glue was so set I managed to snap the casing on one of them so up close it looks a bit crap, but other than that all good. They even give a more evenly distributed light output than my HID's!!

[jonyb4]

ET35 is the correct offset for a mk5 mate

40 will be a bit tucked in, but if your rubbing it should sort it out

usually best to get in the middle around 37

[Minstral]

lower profile tyres should sort it far to big for lowered. think jon had the same problem of buying 50's

[dontpannic]

I could always get some 2 or 3 mm spacers to compensate, but I still get rubbing with 45 profile tyres too, damn big arches lol

[hb69]

Either get some fiesta wheels for it or something that fits properly, or lower it properly. It probably wouldnt rub if you had uprated shocks.

Did anything come of those mondeo wheels a while back? cant remember if it was mondeos or escort gti They would suit it, or mk5 or 6 zs wheels

[BigUKG]

Hello mate, haven't posted for ages so thought I would! The cars looking nice as always, except when you had those red things on it lol. Hope you've been alright anyway. Got some big problems with the mk4 at the moment, but when they're sorted I might bring the rot on wheels to one of the meets!!

I was looking at RS2k alloys, however am now looking and am within days of picking up Ford Escort Gti alloys (5 spoke 15's, ET40).

Cheek Those red things were cool

I've been fine mate, how about you?

Whats up with the MK4? It would be good to finally see it in the flesh

[Rhinopower]

More wheels?

Well, where to start mate. It's massively down on power, think the MAF is effed to be honest so getting a price on a new one on Monday. In the meantime, I'm unplugging it and resetting the ECU to see if that brings any joy but I very very much doubt it. It does make a difference not having the MAF plugged in, but it by no means solves the problem hence trying an ECU reset next. It's in a bad way atm then lol, near side arch and under seal has all be welded so that's been filled and primered.
I've been alright though anyway, been with the gf ages now, and engaged and all that so will be looking to save up and move out hopefully, but thats all money and that's not a particularly good subject atm either
Cool compared to what mate?

[dontpannic]

More wheels?

Yep. 4th and final set.











These are off a Ford Escort GTI, 15". And are just the right offset so I don't get any scrubbing!

Whaddya reckon?

[hb69]

Finally

Zs grille? What happened to that

oh, and track time for castle combe is £21 if you buy one of the next two sessions, goes up to £25 after

haha yea the one he bought off me!

[dontpannic]

Still got to respray the surround for it at the moment, and the mesh itself, the black paint has started to chip off already .

When I get some free time I'll get round to spraying it up and fitting it

[Minstral]

need spraying dark colour i think nick look boring like that as so many people have them. anthracite or something like that

[dontpannic]

I know Tony. I am going to do it eventually but needed them put on ASAP due to the scrubbing

[FiestaBen]

They really suit the car

[dontpannic]

Cheers Ben!

These wheels really do suit this car a lot, much better than any of the previous sets

[Tanya]

Looking good Nick

Are the wheels staying silver?

[EUFez]

These have to be the best wheels you've had. Looks better!

It appears some tape has got stuck on your headlights?

[dontpannic]

Chevening is a small hamlet not far from Chipstead, Sevenoaks. On previous occasions of me going there, its been quite busy, however this time, it was fairly empty, so a photoshoot session dawned upon me. I'm hoping one or two of these photos will make it into one of the mags promoting my local club



























Whaddya reckon?

[FiestaBen]

I'm sort of in love!

So subtle, win!

[jonyb4]

think the Zetec s skirts are the next state of play mate looks good though

[dontpannic]

Small quick update.

Good:
