Car looks great. Those brakes are just awesome.

Do they feel spongy or anything? Like v6 ones on corsas supposedly do?

Yeah still trying to get hold of an ST150 rear beam for a not so ridiculous price, then gonna convert the discs to Focus ST170 discs so I'm running 280mm on the rear Then I'd imagine I'm going to need a brake bias valve. And nah sold the sideskirts, it's all about performance baby!

Not in the slightest! Soon as you hit the pedal they are there. Was braking several times from 100mph to show my mates and wasn't spongy at all. I can't imagine how they're going to feel with uprated pads and discs in there when it comes to it

Thanks peeps

I've been looking at getting one for the last couple of months but the insurance is like 3.5K for me

Due to me only driving a year with 0ncb

How much do you pay?

Blimey, insurance is only £700 FC for me. I was 20 at the time, with an at fault claim.

Well I bought a front strut brace for it and fitted it just now:



Also got rid of the rubber dildo type gaiter cover, before:



After:



And spent the whole of last Sunday doing an anal clean on it, wheels off, arches cleaned, rear lights out to clean behind them









Crap drums Gonna re-hammerite them but cannot wait to get discs



Then some pics from that night:

Cheers mate (Only just seen this!)

I was parked away out the back, crappest place ever, I'd have been better off parking on the gravel car park in the middle!

Car looks stunning!
What did you use to get the inside of your alloys sparkly clean? Mine are awful and need a dam good going over!
