Lowered or stock springs? How far will be the drop.

Liking the new colour for the alloys. How dark is it and is it flakes I see shining in it? Reckon they will look ace against the contrast of the colour of your car :)

Lovely combo of colours there and that drop is wicked. I am well jealous! How does it drive now on the lowered springs and bigger alloy wheels?

I have to wait till the second half of the year for myself to get the car lowered on new shocks.

What's next on the cards for you?

Thanks bud.

And tbh drives a hell of a lot better.

The springs original on felt abit worn out over bumps.

Theses now given it a nice new life feels good.

I'm quit happy with the outcome.

Next on the cards is finishing my st dash dome. started the procedure.

And just for the fun of it and the fact was given to me get my push start button.

Also need get centre cap stickers or gel badges is I can get em.

I think I may be sorting my exhaust out again also soon.

Now I got standard st tips on I fancy 3" tail pipes.

When they get bigger there's no guarantee of getting more money to put into mods lol although I can't wait for my kids to be old enough to help me out. Already planning getting the car for my son to drive, so we can fix it up together for when he passes his test... Only 14 years ahead of myself lol

So we got another ford fiesta st. To split but I think where going to fix and resell as only a gear Box fault and we have a spare gear box off a different one we are still splitting.. And the bugga came with red and black ford badges just like mine. And had the steering wheel badge. Yes!

Didn't wanna pay 6.50 for just that badge. So gone and nicked it.

Just need to find my self some ultra thin double sided adhesive tape to stick it back on to mine.

Been wanting one for a while. So that's my next job. Not big and very easy. but I like it. :)

I havnt done bugger all for abit.

What's new which prob can't tell.

Took 60-40 lowering springs off aftermarket ones.

Put on 25-20 Eibach springs on.

Changed my diesel bouncy shocks for st petrol shocks. Less bouncy more firm.

Egr blacking plate. But I'm going to remove it I honestly can't tell difference maybe it's just me all.i know is I'm getting annoyed having to keep del fault code with my phone ap removing engine warning.

Got myself a tuning box. Drake monza. Apparently it's will make my 136bhp tdci in to a 194 bhp if I put it on highest setting ha. Only problem is tries it engine didn't like it. 3rd gear 4k revs went in to safety mode ha. So had a tone it down abit.

Again I used the word apparently as that's was they advertise. I dout it. To big a difference. But I'm defo getting extra power. Gain speed alot quicker set of from lights a hell of a lot quicker then it did. 80 pound on there site. Won mine on eBay 15 pound ;)

That's it not much

I'm thinking about colour coding fog surrounds. 50/50

Either that or sea grey to match alloys.

Any thoughts?
