That fiesta turbo looks pretty mint, and if i were going to get picky id say it looks a lot better than your chaved up estate with gay stickers down the side...

But hey, as i said, im not going to get picky as i like a lot of cars, regardless of what the badge says on the front!

Here is a pic of my shonky old ford with the aero catches. I later changed the silver rivets for black but dont seem to have any pics of them, or the underside of the bonnet like i was saying about.

So, sorry its a ford, but it would have pissed over most other cars in a straight line, and unfortunatly i never got to track it to see what it was like in the corners.
My impreza is quick, but its not fast...

yes you are a newb, me and ash always have some banter about fords, its a long running joke now
and as for the chavved up estate, if you were a regular scoobynetter you would know my love of all things sticker related on imprezas....... which is none .
i dont hate fords at all , in fact i had an rs turbo back in the day. your sierra looks very nice.

Point taken lol. Ps i have driven a fiesta st round the nurburgring a few times. They do handle well, but are really not very fast. My scoob currently has some ****e tyres on it, so im not quite brave enough yet to push it. That and never having driven an awd until 2 weeks ago lol. So still learning to drive it....

But a tuned mk2 frs IS fast (well the 400hp+ ones are)

no you cant, they are spring loaded.

so they are either open like in the pic or closed
nothing inbetween is possible.

if you have seen or fitted any you would know this

tubby you struggle to find your **** let alone give it to anyone...
*******s, just wrote a very lengthy replay and sodding ipad battery died!

Ash, you dont know your fords very well, the turbo is on the wrong side to the yb lol

Brief spec, again

2.0l silvertop zetec from mondeo, wiseco pistons, carrillo rods, big valve head, titan motorsport rollerbarrel throttle bodies and inlet, custom swedish style inlet plenum, siemens injectors, modified 200sx manifold, t4 turbo, external wastegate, custom gated and baffled sump, hayward and scott custom exhaust with screamer exiting just behind nsf wheel, dta ecu and about 3k worth of pro alloy shiz.

It made 397bhp and 386 lbft but was having boost issues. Had i got a boost controller sorted it should have made 475+ bhp and similar torques. It was fooking brutal lol

Took 5 years to turn from the £500 base model 3dr into that, custom inside and out paint job in audi rs blue, 6-point cage, cobra suzuka buckets, avo monotube coil overs, ultralight wheels, evo 8 brake callipers, frs front discs, st170 rear, hydraulic wand, stack dash and gauges.... The list was quite enduring!
So, 5 years to build and get running/ half mapped, then after passing the mot i was less than half a mile from the mot station at a roundabout when i was smashed into from behind by some local pikeys who promptly ****ed off and left me to it... 35k car up the ****ter in a matter of minutes....

I have just this week after 2 years and 3 months got a conclusion to the insurance and solicitors... So thats it, over....

proper ones dont require any sliding etc and are spring loaded.
