You cant go wrong with any top of the line tyres from any big brands. Really often people overlooked the importance of high quality tyres.
Ideally you'd want 195/45R16, but I think that size is quite rare and cant be a bit expensive because due to their uncommon size. Alternatively 205/45R16 could work... or even 205/50R16. I know someone that runs on Potenza GIII 205/50R16... all he had to do was to fold the inner rear mud guards so the tyres don't rub. Quote:

You would be alot better off spending the money on getting some decent speakers not buying hundreds of $50 strathfield car radio speakers.

well, even after looking at hundreds of fiesta pics and reading about them in numerous reviews and on these forums...i'm really godamn impressed. i've already had my first moment of fiesta greatness (not letting a new mini cooper-s up the side of me on a long sweeping freeway entrance, he thought he had me done and dusted...but the fez had other ideas...)
I'll post some pics up tommorrow. It's all still stock, has 16"mp3's and fiesta mats, but thats about it so far. |

got tints on the fez on monday, along with my mates who run a 97' Peugeot 306 XSI and a 2006 2.0 Golf FSI. The fez looks A LOT better, and the golf looked awesome. Peugeot looked really nice with the contrast against the white paint.
sorry bout before and after pics being a bit dodge. before:  After:

Nice one Crispy. Change the stripes to green ones on the side to match the MkII. That would make a neat pair of hot Fords.

Welcome to the forum, man. After market panel filters such as BMC & K&N do make abit of a difference. Power delivery is smoother, also engine has abit of an extra kick to it above 3500rpm.
I dont think the power difference would shave ETs though. |

Welcome to the club Brave Face.
As for the filter, I don't remember what the standard one was like because I changed it the first week. I think it'd make a bit of difference & certainly worth doing, a little louder too. Fairly cheap too since they don't actually wear out. Give it a go. KJ
