Estates! Too bloody common. lol

[t5 stealth]

lookin good......and the colour suites it :)

[LiamT4]

Would have to see it in the metal to decide properly, but i like it without the spoiler, looks different.

[leet5r]

cheers lads, i got a s70 spoiler to try becasue the t5r 1 was lookin abit old , but the s70 1 didnt fit so i priced a 850r 1 from rufe and it was 210quid, av been lookin for a 850r 1 since i got the car and a set of volans.

i have come to like the look with out the spoiler on and no 1 gives it a 2nd look then bang , 14psi goes straight past lol.
theres a few jobs need doin on her so shes MINT then i might sell so some1 else can enjoy her

[Wobbly Dave]

if you ever need it polishing out - then....


I am almost certainly not the person to do it for you ???

Seriously good lookin' motor.

[leet5r]

heres a pic of the 850r rear spoiler fitted , al get some more pics soon

[The Flying Moose]

They look a million dollars with the rear boot spoiler. Always thought something was missing without one. Good purchase and the colour match looks perfect. Look forward to seeing a picture of it fitted out of the garage.

[leet5r]

cheers m8 , just need some volans or other m hurry up pete lol

[T5frankie]

[leet5r]

[The Flying Banana]

Thats a stunner , Titans are nice but that would look very nice on Volans

[The Flying Moose]

Are you going to sell your titans? If so how much mate, very interested.

[leet5r]

the 2 front wheels have a little kerb rash now , i need some volans before i sell these wheels or some other wheels

[leet5r]

[Tomcat]

Just out of interest, how did you route the wiring for the brake light on the spoiler?..

Fair play mate, let me know If you end up selling, what sort of price will you be looking for?

[leet5r]

tomcat the t5r spoiler had a brake light so it just clipped together , needs a front spilter now tho lol

[leet5r]

Fair play mate, let me know If you end up selling, what sort of price will you be looking for?

[leet5r]

areet lads , well bit of a update on my thread , got some volans and had them powdercoated in anthcirite , had these done a while back now just been busy.
got the front splitter on tonyt aswell, the car is lookin really well if i do say so my self lol , only got the 2 pics on the splitter but i will get some more pics tomo if the wether is nice .

also had the front bumper repaired , been puttin it off for months so when 1 of the lads at work dropped a sheet of harris fencing on the pass side of the car i thought kill 2 birds and get the bumper and side painted , i didnt get any before pics put there was only a few dents on the door pillars and wing mirror .

havent got any pics of after the paint was done so the 1s of the car are from before the meet at york drag

[martybelfastt5]

looking good lee,

[Shadow]

WOW that looks stunning mate. iv always wanted an r spoiler for mine but can seem to find any that don't cost a fortune. also where did you get the front splitter from?

[T5frankie]

in my honest opinion lee the titans look way better mate, looks kike you have a common 850r now

[dalhousie2008]

I've got. 855 estate r in olive, tis a lovely colour, I'll be going to bjv engineering to get the standard titans re done, then I'll put a pic on

[leet5r]

tbh a got bored of the 5 spoke and every 1 had a set on their cars. a still like the titans and av got 2 so ya never know might end up back on a pair lol , a like the pro race on them aswell , tomcat from this site made me the splitter and it looks well , am havin probs with ground clearence now gettin the car in and out lol

[Shadow]

does it make it that much lower? is yours lowered or is it till standard?

[leet5r]

its got -40mm springs atm , wouldnt mind some gaz coil overs tho , and half a coil chopped off the back springs , tbh the back wants droppin another 15/20mm tho jut so it brings the the car level and the front up a tad

[leet5r]

still not had any good wether for pics , so am goin to clean the brakes up and repaint them gold again and bleed them off with some new fuild , got my eye on some bucket seats so then she will more than likey be stripped out a bit to help save some tens down the strip.
got a few more pics so yas get the idea, also managed to get the RIP kit fitted , still waitin on the 3inch pipes for the 960TB to go then a might think at gettin some injectors cleaned up , not sure to use whites or blues

Looking good Lee, be good to Find how heavy the car is as it stands at the moment then re weight it once you've stripped it out to find out the difference.

[leet5r]

Looking good Lee, be good to Find how heavy the car is as it stands at the moment then re weight it once you've stripped it out to find out the difference.she's 1460kgs with 8gallon of fuel in m8. Ad like to get her to 1350kgs poss 1300 but that's when it becomes to much for the daily driver.

[Tomcat]

Used to have a friend who had a stripped out, caged, rally prep'd Mk2 Escort that he used to use for commuting to work and back every day, it had a really lumpy rally cam and would hardly tick over let alone pull below 2000rpm, he was over 60 and he loved it. Sadly he's dead now (rest in peace mate) so stop being such a wuss and go the whole hog on it!!,lmao.

[AndysR]

Looking smart Lee, Volan's look well on it to ;)

[leet5r]

Lol always nice to have a quick squirt but unfortunately being so low it does that. I've painted mine myself since having it and have just got the car back from having the bumper repainted/repaired and had it done again. Not looking forward to the first chip, think I'll take it off the road over winter to avoid the grit ect as that really did it no justice last year...

[leet5r]

thats my plan aswell , just had the bumper painted and a think its goin to be ruined in no time at all with the way i drive lol , ya not want to sell me ya exhaust lol

[p fandango]
