V6 Lover Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Won them, and will have them by Thursday or Friday... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle_saloontdci Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Won them, and will have them by Thursday or Friday...That's not a bad price if they've been refurbed, are they anthracite and diamond cut like mine?? I've seen them in a few different colours. They're actually off of a mondeo titanium X so will suit yours really well, I think they are one of the best ford wheels about which is probably why they hold they're money so well!! Glad you got them make sure you put pics up!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle_saloontdci Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Had a day off today so cleaned the car inside and out as it was filthy!! Took some better pics to show how it sits after I cut that dead coil a few weeks back Found a little lip spoiler that fits so I think I'll be ordering that and fitting it, still looking out for recaros so when I find the right set I'll get them Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan P Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 It's looking really nice. Definitely better for taking the rear a little bit lower. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V6 Lover Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Did your wheels turn up? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Hi kyle..yes the alloys arrived Thursday morning..my new phone doesn't take as good a picture as my old one(upgrades haha)I will post some then & now pics when I fit them as now the bad weather has set in (salt on roads) I'm unsure whether to fit them,the big chrome centres are brand new too so I was thinking is there anything on the market that can seal these as well as the rest of the wheels as they have literally just been refurbed,the inside and back of the spokes all done to same high standard..really pleased with them... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V6 Lover Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Before.... then....Afterwards...to be truthful I'm enjoying the extra grip and the rubber is quieter too,although the state of the roads has me doubting keeping them...basically I think i prefer the bigger sidewall on my 205 50 zr17 standard 7spoke ghia x alloys over these 225 40 zr18 tit x.... Anybody know if a 225 "45" 18 is doable on these alloys and the mk3 there fitted too,all post greatly as appreciated as usual fellas.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V6 Lover Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I should of posted this in the relevant place, sorry for the semi hijacking kyle its just as you have the same set of 18 in alloys which seem to be relatively rare..so thanks fella and if a kindly moderator could please place in the right spot for me thanking you.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle_saloontdci Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 Had to put another pair of tyres on the rear as it seems I wore out the dunlops in 4000miles [emoji16][emoji16] had the rear tracking done so should stop it now and I've got Eibach camber bolts but not fitted them yet. Not done anything else apart from drive it really, needs a good clean!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V6 Lover Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Looks really well planted since you did the suspension a flavour...this is how they should sit, no gap the size of a hard shoulder between the rear arches and tyres...looks nice fella, hopefully this is a mod I'd like to do...although not as brave and confident as yourself, so in the new year I'm going to get a price of fords for fitting some Eibach springs and some new oem shocks and get my Mondeo lowered by about 30mm front and rear...I know fords can be expensive....but I'm a bit wary of changing the present set up as it is absolutely spot on at present nice even wear on all tyres no noises etc...and fords will give me a 12 month guarantee on the work as well, so peace of mind.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V6 Lover Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 PS..I've too got Dunlop's all round sport maxx rt but can't comment on them yet too much as I've not been far but grip in wet is very good... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle_saloontdci Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 I find the dunlops quite good but it was really twitchy on the rear but since I've sorted the rear tracking it's stopped that. I was a mechanic and mot tester for 10 years so I do all my own work luckily, I couldn't pay fords prices though [emoji51] well worth getting it lowered makes it look loads better. I'm really tempted to change to a mondeo st tdciat the min I'm quite liking the mondeos. What engine is in yours?

V6 Lover Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Being a mechanic is a massive benefit...extremely satisfying doing your own work...you are so right about lowering and you don't see many tweeked foccy saloons either, don't know what the stats are number of builds compared to the hatch, ghia saloons pretty rare as I honestly never see them only very rarely which I thinks gives it kudos... When I got my first Mondeo a 2.0 petrol ghia estate my first thoughts were that it drives just as good as the focus hatch I'd just sold...foccys have seriously good handling... My present mondy is a ghia x with the 3.0 v6 lump showing 52k miles and stainless straight thru (nice burbles)and k&n cold intake (nice snarl)..a nice re- map would take advantage of this... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle_saloontdci Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 I bet that sounds lovely, I had a st200 7 years ago that had a k&n, blueflame cat back and a bluefin and that sounded awesome!! Probably the best sounding car I've ever owned. I do like the sound of a v6. What's the mpg like on that?

V6 Lover Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Those st 200 mondeos sound awesome to begin with, I had a v6 mk2 but a ghia x and had demon tweeks fit a scorpion twin exit cat back...lovely sound.. The stainless I've now got is a straight thru, just one muffler up front and the single exit looks oem except its 2 and a half inch and polished,at idle it sounds nice and burbly and as long as you keep the revs below that magic number 3250 rpm just before the last six intakes wake up, its not too loud....but after that and more it sounds funking awesome along with the air intake 57i snarling its head off...a little slice of heaven.... Ps since replacing the sparkies and vacuum pipes (3in split in crank breather) I'm getting 21mpg in town and34-37 at 60-70 varying 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle_saloontdci Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 Not updated in ages not done much but it now has a decat, centre box removed and a scorpion back box with twin 3" slashed tips fitted. Not really much louder than standard which I'm abit gutted about so I'm going to let the decat bed in as I only did it this aft but if it doesn't improve then may have to straight pipe it with the same tips as I think it really suits it Need to book it in for a remap too when I get chance and I still want some spacers and new seats in it too.

kyle_saloontdci Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 Had the car remapped on Monday made it a lot nicer to drive it used to run out of puff after 3000 but now it pulls all the way round to 4000 in every gear. It how it should of left the factory!! Treat myself to some grey cloth recaros today got them in and fitted they are so snug and supportive it's really made the interior sporty from the drab black cloth that was in it before Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
