I don't even want to know what it's cost me over the past 5 years... if I put my fingers in my ears and hum really loudly, I might be able to pay for a few extra little bits and pieces to get it going again.

All I know is, it's progressed into a real pig to drive, but I love it every time I drive it (especially now that I don't drive it every day)

i feel the same. but the car has always not been the friendliest to drive.

and even after the money ive spent on it making it an even better car, the shit from bad workshops/previous owner are still biting me in the arse.

Should probably book it into FPV brah... they'll know what they're doing

not sure if sarcastic or not here.....

but FPV is long gone...

take it to ford and get the apprentice that does the work on fiestas to change them and test drive it....

it's not hard but if you f**k something up is a royal pain.

for a daily just take it to any reputible palce,

RaceBrakes is near me and used them a bunch of times

Anyone know if 33R series 3 lip will fit a series 1/2?

Straight bolt on, remember you'll need the brake ducts as well to make it all work properly. Early lip was actually offered as an option for S3's lol. I guess some people didn't want dat reduced ground clearance.

It was a triple sting....

1. How do you not know how to change brake pads?

2. Why would you take it to a workshop and pay instead of spending half an hour learning with someone who does know whats up (wouldn't recommend experimentation learning with brakes for obvious reasons)

3. FPV.

Volunteering to help out me out are ya? :P

Yeah I find the s1-2 lips nicer, s3 looks way to beefy at the front with nothing on the sides/rear with that lip

Mohsen didnt just not have insurance. He cancelled it because he wanted to look for a better deal.... and kept driving

Baaaahahahahahshshahsaaa

HAHAHAHAHA

Are brake ducts different across series? I have my series 1 ducts. Either my eyes are shit or I can't tell the difference between the S1/2 and S3 aesthetically.

There are JUN style carbon lips on eBay for $400, whilst I don't wanna spend that much on a lip, that's what the series 3 guy was chasing for his with slight cracks underneath it.

Wonder how it'd look.

Wish I could find a series 1, that looked the best.

I'm sure I've posted it before, but why is anyone surprised when mohsen, a retard, does something retarded?

Well it's not so much that it's a surprise that he is a retard but the seemingly never ending depth of his retardedness

Ealy lip also has the disadvantage of collapsing at high speed though.

Oh really? Well a nicer looking lip though

No surprises, just hilarious

    • Pete knows these cars well, he does my car too, if he was concerned about the traction arm length for your use he would have said so. Do you have adjustable bushes in that arm, maybe he got enough adjustment there (or maybe the bump steer was not material for your use of the car)
    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
