Chris O Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 (edited) I'm quite a new member on Evo however some of you may already of met me (at the Evo Karting or Ford Fair), I'm Danzetec's brother. Just over a week ago I bought myself a GTi and Danzetec keeps having a go about posting so here goes. It has just clocked 70k with only two owners from new (the last owner had it for 10 years!!). It has a couple of mods already such as the Magnex cat back and the Mondeo 16's, but some more mods are on the way - Mondeo V6 brakes and FRK Seats from my old car and then moving on to buy some coilovers (recommendations please!!). http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j279/ChrisO2006/Escort%20GTi/DSC03384.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j279/ChrisO2006/Escort%20GTi/DSC03387-1.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j279/ChrisO2006/Escort%20GTi/DSC03386.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j279/ChrisO2006/Escort%20GTi/DSC03389-1.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j279/ChrisO2006/Escort%20GTi/DSC03382.jpg Thanks for looking and all comments welcome Edited March 19, 2011 by Chris O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScORTED Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 don't waste your money on coilovers unless your going to track it or lower it so much it handles crapit'd better spent on decent shocks better brakes are always a good idea what do you want out of the car? show? euro? track? fast road? cruiser?

Chris O Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 don't waste your money on coilovers unless your going to track it or lower it so much it handles crapit'd better spent on decent shocks better brakes are always a good idea what do you want out of the car? show? euro? track? fast road? cruiser? I would like the car to be a bit fast road but with some creature comforts and toys. I am going to spec up the interior a little with a few little toys (electric sunroof, one touch windows etc.) and for a little more power. I have some Jenvey throttle bodies doing nothing at the moment so I might do something with those. First up is making sure it handles and stops (the brakes scare me a little at the moment as I was used to a Zetec-S with 278mm Mondeo V6 brakes). My thinking behind coilovers was escort lowering springs sometimes lower it too much at the back compared to the front, plus I quite like a firm ride. However I wouldn't rule out a decent set of shocks instead tho. Thanks everyone for the kind words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScORTED Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 the choice of discs and pads is as important as the size for breaking, but when its so cheap to go bigger do it i'd honestly rule out coilovers for a road car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
