Finally managed to give the car a good clean and take some pictures. Clay bared the complete car and then 3 stage paint cleaner, polish and wax and she's finally tar free and looking shiny again. very happy with the results.

I also took the number plate holder off and have decided i cant put the tatty old plate back on so its going to sit in the window untill a new one arrives in the post.

Enjoy

Just realised I haven't updated this in a while.

So in the summer I took the plunge and decided to buy a set of meister R coilovers. I've had Meisters on 5 different cars and never been disappointed so they were an easy choice. At the same time I took my rota grids off my civic, swapped some different tyres on and popped them onto the S (as they were purchased for my old s2k 4 years ago)

Since having the coilovers on its been a painfull few months as I have been waiting on a set of steering rack spacers before I get the tracking done. I've only used the S for short drives as the set up is sketchy at best. Guess ill have to wait until the new year now as she's parked up in the garage for the winter!

anyhoo some pictures of how she now sits and one of something ill be installing in the very near future....maybe tomorrow if the weather is ok

Enjoy






One from JAE with Shadow



and one for, well just because there so damn beautiful

bkz187

stance looks great

the white one looks phenomenal

while you were undersealing those rear arches.. did you attend to the area where bubbling occurs? I mean the area where the bumper fixes on. I am sure its double skinned there and the corrosion starts in between the skins

So I managed to get these little beauts on over the weekend. I also managed to strip the rear camber and toe bolts off, grease them up and re assemble so i'm now happy the rear geometry is good for a few years. Just to try work on the front and hope that there not seized!





I also got my sparco steering wheel and NRG short hub on. I love the look of the aluminium hub rather than the rubber boots that come on other brands.
The Dish and short hub are a great combination and sit only very slightly closer to the driver so you can still reach the controls without having to remove your hands from the wheel.



I also finally got round to rebuilding my Brembo callipers after Spooner Restroations painted them in Spoon Yellow for me. Happy with the fit. Just waiting on some new Banjo bolts before i can bleed them a trial them out.

What are those Brembos from? Look beefy!

Loving them on mine! And can confirm, the restored ones (Yellow) look top quality.

Si there the same as a MK1 Focus RS Pad. not sure if that's common with the DC5/FD2 as well
