Fair to say the pics dont do it justice.
Love the colour
cnt wait to see it when russ has done the wheels its the only thing that lets it down at the moment
it looks amazing, it sounds amazing, it is amazing.
I see its come a very long way from the first picture. I'm just stuck for words it's that good.
Have you still got NOS fitted?
Get that flamer kit wired up....and get yourself a fire extinguisher this time....I've heard some bad stories lol
nice car, am sure uve heard me say it b4 now lol. Yeah think you should wire up the nos this weekend and the flammer, if ya need a hand let us know.
looks good, love the colour, i just love the sound, keep the good work up tony
Always liked the look of these cars!
goodridge braided brake hoses lol! this list will keep gettin longer as i remember stuff!!!

yup like ur balls!
ok this week i've bought a chrome high output (150A) alternator
and a new front mount intercooler
Core measures 600mm x 300mm x 76mm with an end-to-end length of 772mm
intercooler looks good, havent you already got one though?
you got the engine running properly yet?
I likes the chrome alternator, very snazzy
yeah i got one in the garage but this one is hooooooooooooooge
and u know what they say bigger is always better
this car must be fast as fook!!!
I likes the chrome alternator, very snazzy
my standard one is 85A and this is 150A so its almost double as powerful
not just shiney
time to start makin eerythin sparkle!
bigger isn't always better, a huge intercooler will introduce more lag unless you have the power to push more through?
y will u get more lag! explain please
bigger intercooler will give colder charge! colder charge is more dense therefore more oxygen there for more power!
there may be the slightest bit more lag over the distance of the extra piping but nothing noticable!
this is the same size on a coupe turbo
Nice Tony what extra break will it bring do you think.
And when can we race again
thats fecking hooge and sexy.steves right about more lag but depending on what u do with the rest of the engine u can make it negligable. a massive cooler on a stock low power turbo car wud give noticable lag but on a tweaked 200+BHP car im sure it'll be fine.and the power increase on boost will more than make up for any lag u see.Blingy alternator too. Whats the purpose of the 150A alternator? are u having a big install? or does it help the car in another way?
its just extra pwer to run extra stuff! and my car is 200bhp standard! we are lookin for about 350bhp to the front wheels with in the next few months!
why so much power thru the front wheels? full throttle in anything under 4th gear will prob just be wheelspin wheelspin and more wheelspin,meaning u'll only be able to use half the power available to ya in the gears that really matter? each to there own i'd just like to hear ur explanation of why u want so much power?

nice
what turbo is it going to run? t35?
no its got a t28 instead of the standard t25 now
and ive just bought 2 10 inch slim line spal fans to make a bit extra room for the intercooler
have you seen the An racing site?
u mean heaven hahahahahha
haha has his 25 been rr'd yet?
looks gud mate, cant wait till youve got it sorted. You will have to fit the flamer kit again but with the nos runing through the car aswell lol
ok today i have purchased some thousand pound brakes
my credit card is melting haha!!!
You going to stop on a sixpence?
What's special about them to make them up to £1,000 ?
I guess there big but what else?
4 pot callpers to replace te standard 1pot, serious stoping power.
Dont understand
i can only see the one
caliper in the picture.
What's 4 pot all about
you have one piston in one calliper a four pot has four pistons per caliper meaning the force will be applied more equally over the area of the pad rather than concentrated on a particular area
Ahhhh ha
Going to slide that into a conversation tomorrow
Cheers makes sense now
ok sexy new spal fan arrived today! these are apparently the best aftermarket fans so just gotta get them on now
and am lookin at some carrilo rods which i've been told are the best forged rods money can buy, if u want 1000bhp lol u want these! but i dnt want 1000bhp lol so we will have to see
looking good... i saw one of these once and it was so tricked out it was impossible to tell what it was
Verynice Tony like them.
Tested them yet???
nice. are you sure the discs are the right way?
like i keep on saying very nice, you bedded them in yet lol
they looks awesome,but theyre on the wrong way, i doubt it'll make much difference tho
You can fit the brakes with the grooves either way.
Mine are fitted the same (Front is to the right)
Groves pointing inwards provides the best braking, though it generates more noise than outward pointing groves, and eats pads faster.
Groves outwards generates less braking effort, though there is less noise and pads last better.
All all honesty though, Im considering turning mine round. The balance of size of brakes and weight of car means turning mine round probably wont compramise the brake effort and Ill have less noise and longer lasting pads, on a heavier car though Id prolly leave them this way...
stuey can you get pics up of the width part of the disc. to show the web on the inside of the disc.
Lol, I see what your getting at, but it doesnt matter if the veins draw air from the inner side of the disk, or the outside.
For info though, the veins on mine angle the opposite way to the grooves (Mine are AP Rotors)
Also, every race car Ive ever seen, Inc my mates Starion, all run their rotors in the same direction as Tony and myself.
think the garage that fitted them for him must know, cant see them putting them on the wrong way round!!!!
i love this car. dont really like rovers but i like the coupes, especially this one.
woah how odd is that,they look wrong but theyre right. Next theyre will be tyres designed to draw water to the centre of the tyre lol

:s what are u going on about tyres that draw water in! i think its a bit obvious that this way would give more friction between the pads and disc instead of flowing with them (flowing with them obviously making less friction) the garage didnt tell me to do them this way i told the garage do because its the way hispec say to
lol bend over scoop an take ur punishment lol u have bin told yet again lol
Assumed it was the wrong way cos ive never seen it that way before and thought it would just ruin ur pads in 10 miles. But if its only slightly more abrasive then wahay.
Does this apply to all discs with grooves tho? what about those EBC ones with a million grooves?
all depends on the inside of the disc. through the travel direction of the wheels the inside of the disc should 'throw" the heat out of the disc.
ur car is just sexual tony!!!! i think i love it more than i love kate!
can't polish a turd but i think your nearly there....
wheels look much better.
how much for the coating and where from?
I preferred the wheels silver meself, but they still look mint n so long as your happy with em thats all that matters!
Cars comin along nicely.
a smart 200,all ur cars have been, not chavved up like others ive seen. Why are the front wheels protruding tho? that cant be legal,and it looks like a corsa owner fitted the wheels for u (90% of them can never get wheels of the correct offset)
great, but I'm entitled to my own opinion right? not every reply is about you lol
its a rover, rovers are crap..........like a polished turd.
only kidding, nice car but do you have to thrash it everywhere! give people a chance to see it shine
I dont know if thats a compliment or not but aint u just bought a fiesta
i got the right offset scoop i just got huge brakes with nice thick bells to take the heat out of them
for god sake scoop shut the fook up
if u ant got notin positive to say shut the fook up
Not 3 bad matey, are they black or very dark anthrecite / grey?
AFAIK wheels that pertrude the arches are an MOT failure though
STD wheels for MOT time? or shave a bit of the alloy bells? Though, TBH they shouldnt effect the offset like that - they should be the same as OEM to maintain the true offset
for god sake scoop shut the fook up
if u ant got notin positive to say shut the fook up
Oh im sorry, i thought my post was positive. I said i like the car and its nice, its just i CANT like wheels that dont fit.
Are u saying sean, that everybody should say "yeah i love the way those wheels look" or just keep quiet? constructive critisism mate. think u need to lighten up
