only go for 40mm as 60 may cut ya rear tyres n ya dont want that.
or 40 at the rear due to peeps in the back n maybe 60 at front cos escorts n orions seem to be uneven looks with the front usually a massive gap from wheel to wheel arch!

good job ya did it yaself! - cheaper that way - i hate askin for money off mates n stuff, but to get the things i want n to get where i wanna be, i need that stuff called money and plenty of it! lol!
Looks good but what happened to the wheels?!?!
Id been after a set of these for ages, and they came up at the right time. I needed new tyres on my 17'z plus they slowed the car down too much etc... so i sold em for £300, bought the new ones for £200 with brand new tyres all round and lowering springs cost me £65 quid, so i havent lost any money! :D

Soudns good mate
I have got a pic still on the camera of me g/f's newley refurbed rims altho we did them on the cheap so they are a bit easy to damage - i managed to damage them the day i put them in the car after painting GRRR!!!!
Uno is ok - bit bored of it now - its still good fun but the mods i have done to the engine cause more turbo lag which makes it less drivable. Its got a new clutch going in soon when i get chance, a bigger intercooler hopefully next week when i get it back, then a quick rolling road tune and it should be about 185 ish bhp! And a **** load of torque! - Should be pretty lively!
Will take ya out in the rusty heap once its all fast n stuff! :)
Sounds wikkid! Yea take me for a spin in it, your pushing 185BHP in a car that size, tis mad! You'll eat type r's for brekkie! :lol:

im hoping for 185bhp - so far its at 165 - its more down to torque - you could have 300 bhp but in order to accelerate like a bat outa hell you need bundles and bundles of torque which is where the turbo comes in. I only got about 151ft/lbs of torque, which should be pushed up towards 170 ish maybe more - that will make it a bit more interesting! :D
When you doing that work to it? Soon i hope...that cars gona b like a rocket. What car will you be able to keep up with once you've done that?

ermmm its kinda on going at the moment i got soo many little jobs to do to it - exhaust has moved a little so it rattles bad and hits speedbumps which is annoying, its gonna need new front brake pads soon, but might get discs again aswell £££££ cos its got big brakes on it, it needs some paintwork done, the intercooler is baing finished next week when i rang up bout it yesterday, the clutch is sitting on me bedroom fllor but its a ****in mental 4 paddle cerametallic jobbie so once i put it in its gonna be hard to drive everyday....in two minds but puttin that in at the moment. Dont wanna put it in, not like it, then have to pull it out again! lol!
as soon as i get my arse into gear i will fit it all :)
at the moment it keeps up with most things, but newer turbo cars like seat leon turbos and ibiza cupras are being produced with serious power from the factory so its getting hard to keep up with anythin new. I will have a go at keeping up with anythin but you can jusdge for yaself when you come out in it, and i do another 0-60 run and 1/4 mile at santa pod :)
Wehey... be intresting to see how fast it does a 1/4mile. :wink:
Let us no when shes up n running like u want it, then take me out in it!
Whats its 0-60 like and its top speed, tho prob designed for 0-60 rather than top end speed im guessing?

Last timed figures before engine n turbo mods were:
0-60:
Standard = 8.3-8.5 seconds
My car = 7.7 seconds with graph to prove.
1/4 mile:
Standard - dont know probably around 15.8-16.2 seconds.
My car = 15.2 seconds
0-60 - after mods so far at 0.95bar boost is approx 6.6seconds according to me mates G-force meter and thats in the wet with a few tries to make sure it wasnt a fluke.
1/4 mile hasnt been done yet but i guess it will be around 14.8seconds, but i am hoping for 14.5 - any less and i will be very chuffed! :)
Aiming for anything around 6.2 to high 5's 0-60 wise. thats cossie speed! :twisted:
Power at flywheel on rolling road with graph to prove after first mods = 163.5bhp @0.95bar and 151ft/lbs of torque. That was at 11 degrees advanced camshaft timing which has since been altered.
All makes it good fun to drive about in! :D
