Several Mods Done (pics)

spaz · 3 May 2006 at 19:58

Been on a bit of a spree (by my standards) since last Friday when I started modifying my Fiesta.
Had Eibach springs installed which lowered it by 35mm and today I fitted the good ol' K&N and some magnecor leads ready for some denso spark plugs and a new exhaust.

And the obligatory arty photo:

Any other recommendations of what to do next? (and not get a different car

)

Indeed, 2L Duratec with 150bhp, possibly putting out a little more with the K&N but probably only about 1bhp, it's just nice and loouud now.

Are you sure about that?

And, 150bhp? Thats a little dissapointing, i thought it would be more 170-180

Drive it. It doesn't need anything else doing to it.

Tis quite low, but only grp 13 insurance so not too bad, although there are some cosworth bits in the pipeline to take it upto around 240bhp NASP although I wouldn't want to try and drive that!

Looks rather nice, I'm glad you got the filter for the noise rather than OMG K&N filter +20BHP.
I'd get matching ajustable shocks to match the springs and futher lower it. After that get the wheels realligned. Bar that its really up to what you want, power, looks, ICE etc etc. I'd maybe get a HID headlight kit as they make a massive improvment if you drive a lot on dark roads.

Do the plugs and leads actually make any difference by the way?

Other owners have said they noticed improved throttle response, maybe a little more power, but I got the leads very cheap so might just get the plugs to compliment them, but at about £50 for 4 I'm debating it!
