answer above is for mk4 86-90

​is anyone having issues with photobucket? I use them to host my pictures on here but my pics are currently not displayed, they want $400 to upgrade my account, does anyone else use them to link there pictures on here?

no you need 205/40/17 with a ford offset, even 205 with et 20 will scrub, and probably mangle your arch.

citroen/ peugeot share the same 108 pcd stud pattern as ford but there offsets are a lot lower, ET 20 with 215 50 will scrub, ideally you need 205/40/17 up to 7.5j and you shouldn't have any issues with a ford offset

no harm in fitting a higher amp one, youd have to look to see what connection you have already,

it depends on the width of the rim and also the tyre size you'd be using, the lower the et the more it'll stick out, id try and get some with et 35 personally, unless you want to start stretching tyres etc

you'd have to fit the full system inc downpipe. dont think the manifolds are dirrent from what i can remember

no one will ever know! this is and old thread with the member being inactive for 7 or so months,

just that one diffrence.

one is slightly longer than the other, if you get the wrong one the bolt wont line up through the arch

cheers mate

push it back together the best you can and gradually build it back up, it'll never be perfect though. my drivers side one is fibreglassed, there all like it. ive seen ones with no sagging fetch 300 quid!

Happens to all the door cards mate, best thing to do is to fibreglass it from behind,

all covers trap moisture anyway, i always think your better off without to a certain extent.

is the roof vinal or mohair? if its vinal i wouldnt worry about putting anything else over it.

I use to break them for parts myself so never really need anything, but if I did I just find eBay the best place, some bits can be pricey though.

a village in south Northamptonshire round the corner from towcester

you can contact the dvla, it will only cost £2.50 to find out its current owner, you do need a valid reason though, although you could probably put anything down. Just lie . The only thing to be cautious of though is that if you contact the owner after getting the details from the dvla and the owner doesn't like the fact there details have been given out you could be fined.

welcome along! At last someone else fairly local

glovebox are a seperate key, ive never had one with the key nor seen one!

time to get her back out! done a bit of prep on it last week ready for the mot, all seemed well, passed the mot yesterday perfectly (only done 614 miles in it!) I was nearly home and it started tapping, getting louder quite quickly, then the oil light came on the head was starved of oil, got me home making a racket and misfiring! left if for a bit then restarted it, seemed a bit better, done a oil change on it today (done one last week with a different grade ) ive taken it out twice today for a good run and a bit of abuse, appears fine, hard to tell if its any more tappy as it was fairly bad in the first place , oddly seems to be smoking less than it use to, so I'm blaming the different grade of oil I put in last week, but time will tell I suppose!!! back in the garage now till the paint shop at the end of the month. two pics from the mot and two from this evening! and just a random of the different cossies on it now now just to hope it don't blow up

orion is no more mate, smashed some bird up the arse in it, scrapped it might drive down on the day and just bring a chair over with me

You can get them made but they are quite expensive, all used ones will be the same, any trimmer should be able to make one

not very original like the ad states, badges and exhaust for starters, front bumper has been painted on the 90 spec one too, rust under the boot and damaged trims, seem way over priced to me, also ive never heard of these, research is needed!

use renovo, i brought a cab that had been sat unused outside for 5 years, the roof was filthy, it came up like new after using this on it, they do kits on ebay with a good brush and buckets etc, I also re-dyed mine, although to be honest using just the cleaner would of been enough. theres guides on youtube too. seriously good stuff worth buying!
