  1. Next purchase done. Customised rs spoiler. I didn't want to go with the rs route on any side of styling but the only options where spoiler is concerned is either rs or the massive wrc spoiler (which is ridiculously huge). The rs spoiler I've got however has been customised and is a 100% one off. So not bad
  2. So my feature in performance ford mag is out today. I have all the digital pics saved and will upload them all tomorrow. Pic heavy warning though.... There's 45 lol. Anyway make sure to grab a copy of the mag (even though it's isn't Honda lol). FroSTy looks great in there
  3. Yeah I think I need to give the whole underside a once over with some underseal etc. The chassis seems fine but it's components that seem a bit rough.
  4. Well this week's going well lol. Performance ford also has a pic in teasing of the main feature next month. Save those penny's guys
  5. And in August issue of fast ford. I told you it was outdated lol. Must have been 9 months or so ago these pics lol. Still I'm very pleased she's in there
  6. Pics.... My old wishbones whilst still fitted. Very worn. Hard race wishbones and uprated ball joints Along with the rear anti roll bar and drop links Some fitted pics Oh and she bit me Silly me was holding the disc and it spun. My hand went round with it and my finger got wedged between the disc and hub but the disc carried on spinning. I had to spin the disc back the other way to get my finger free. And there was a lot of blood lol. Tuesdays job was the rarb and drop links. Old vs hardrace Had to get the grinder on one of original drop links Think the rarb was due a replacement tbh And the junk Rear arb fitted Oh and I made this as the heavens opened when I got the original arb off but I had to continue. I was soaked... Video of how bad the wishbone bushes where https://youtu.be/pOazBCXj6Is
  7. Not updated for a bit but I did the wishbones last week and rear arb on Tuesday. Seems to have improved things dramatically. Given me much more confidence back in the car. Still no news on what issue my performance ford feature wI'll be out. But someone did spot FroSTy in the latest fast ford issue (august). A very outdated write up and pics but better late than never. They must have loads of pics sent them. I'll update with some pics later
  8. Thanks mate. Next mod ready for order. Time to concentrate on handling. So some hardrace front wishbones and bushed are going to be ordered tomorrow. Just need to measure the ball joint
  9. Ta mate. I can't wait to see the rest. Thanks. Yeah she's shifts quite well
  10. Picture I was tagged in on Facebook from the performance ford photographer.
  11. Ohhhh Yeah. Today's photoshoot. Well it went really well. Think they got some cracking shots. Soon as i pulled into the car park passers by where all starring at me driving in lol. Then whilst they where taking the pics for the mag someone came over asking about the car. Then wouldn't shut up about his bloody corsa haha. But he seemed a decent lad. We then got some static shots on the car park, then over the road infront of a slate quarry so they should come out nice. Then got some rolling shots and engine bay pics. Then we had a good chat about the mods etc. He seemed very impressed with FroSTy and couldn't compliment it enough no idea what issue we are looking at yet but I will update when I find out.
  12. It's so much harder with the decals. Because there's loads of pointy bits it's quite tricky. Must take me an extra 30mins or so
  13. And better pic of the fog lights finish So the next pics to be taken will be from the lense of performance ford mag
  14. Fitted fogs. Pics ain't great again lol Daughter took a pic of me polishing the engine bay lol. Today I've also cleaned the interior to death. Tomorrow I shall be cleaning the outside, ready for the mag shoot on tuesday
  15. Today I fitted the new nuts. I'd say the old ones where pretty past it Old vs new And done some late night fog tinting. Had them tinted a while back but the pressure washer took off the tint a few months ago. Only just got round to doing them as I keep forgetting lol. They look dark but light is poor in my living room. They look good. I'll take another pic when fitted.
  16. Poor tyres... and poor clutch. They did this 3 times. My first rolling road ever so I thought they where doing everything right. Until I posted this video up and everyone said lol Po
  17. Rain sport 3s. Opted in for them again. The back ones are completely fine, tones of thread left, still almost new. Tyre place was asking questions about the car and when I mentioned the rolling road day (the fact they put 55psi in the tyres and spun the rollers) and they said it's no wonder they died fast. The very high tyre pressure, stretching, messes up the circular of the tyre or something they said. Makes sence really. Did have a lot of rubber to pick off the car for many of weeks after lol.
  18. Today... 2 new tyres. Hopefully these last longer than 7 months. Also ordered some new wheel nuts as the tpi ones I have now are a mess (chewed up and paint flaked). Should come tomorrow.
  19. The wrap has paid off. Performance ford mag have been in touch with me for a feature. Photoshoot next week
  20. Haha I know. Well they posted a pic of the back of the focus and a reg check on it comes back as a pre facelift silver st lmao
  21. Couple of new pics. Mainly before and afters from when I got her to now. Plus vac pipe mod Oh and someone stole my engine bay pic and claimed it as their own lol
