So my Nurburgring trip is coming up pretty soon (end of may sooner than I thought) the Fiesta didn't sell so i've decided to get it up to Nurburgring standards !

If anyone has any suggestions for prep let me know! Just ordered some Apec discs and pads all round (recommended by Dan) and Eibach lowering springs - might get round to doing the bushes at the same time!

So next up obviously is alignment and a decent set of tyres - Suggestions please

Will make sure to get some pictures up of progress

Rear wheel spacers while your lowering it? Lighter alloys like pro race 1.2s. Depends how much you want to spend and what you want your car to do really. Power handeling etc

Dont really want to spend a fortune just going to have as much fun as i can really! Just after handling modifications tbh and braking the fiesta never really seems underpowered to me more than enough to have fun anyway!

Rear spacers worth their money?

Tyres go for Avon zz3 I have them and a lot on here do aswel other mods would be KnN if you haven't al ready rear spacers and rear seats out a light set of wheels would be good if you wanna go that far just depends how much you wanna do


just seen your other post you could get a flexi pipe not a lot but will be a bit better of the Mark

get some track tyres standard ST ones will boil in this weather

Not sure mate love my avons tho flexi would be wither getting even better second hand

Also does anyone know of any lower seating rails? i like the original ST seats but really irritates me i sit above the wheel and not nice and low!

I might be selling my flexi if you're interested

I'd go for avon zz3's for the tyres, got them on mine and can't complain at all.

Other than that maybe a strut brace to stiffen up the front end a bit?

Let me know how you get on with the brakes, might be changing mine soon

Front and rear strut braces, get rid of the rear seats, change ur tyres, drop ur pressures and go have fun

My avons zz3, spax springs and 12.5mm rear spacers have my fez glued to roundabouts and corners its insane! I recommend the tyres spacers some springs and also a rarb and front strut brace.

Avon ZZ3's are the muts. Also for strut brace I'm arranging a group buy in The Lot:

What pressures would you suggest for a track day?

Some stuffs turned up today will post pictures when im home ^___^

Still not home yet?

I'm back! been busy with work! So my springs and brakes have come - need to get the wheels off because i think i need new track rod ends so will check that this weekend as i put the new springs and bakes on! Pictures to follow !

To do list atm is

- new set of plates (GB)
- Tyres (still unsure which)
- maybe a flexi?
- oil/filter, PAS fluid and brake fluid change

Need more suggestions which isn't going to cost a bomb!

On another note my friend popped round the other day and he's brought a serious tool! will upload a pic!

My mates new car - jealous!




How mine stands atm!




My springs soon to be fitted

Updaaate -

Lowered her on the weekend she's much more grippy! wish i did dampers at the same time but oh well well chuffed with how it sits and drives now!

Its firm but not overly firm reminds me a little of a standard CTR or my mates ITR now

To anyone thats thinking about it i suggest do it - cant get over the difference it makes in looks alone!

Sorting my alignment and tyres this week then going to a open day at Curborough sprint track on the 15h i think! Should be fun!

What you lowered it on mate? Looks great.

I was originally going to get a PB ST, ended up going black, love both colours.

just on eibach 35mm springs cheersman!

yeah the only reason i went blue is because you can get some right depth in the paint! i'd of gone black but i think it would of drove me insane with the dirt!

On the black ones mate, the pro kit?

Hey, just a quick one, how much does an average trip to the nurburgring cost?

I'm not looking to go mad, but possibly do a lap or two just to say i've been!

Planning a road trip to Monaco in August and Mrs is happy for the detour!

Sorry Boyde i didn't see this!

in average you're looking to spend 500 in hotels and a 3day trip tbh with petrol being a bit careful.

1 lap - €26 a lap will do about 1/5 of a tank if you're really going for it!

definitely do it if you can nothing compares to the atmosphere on a sunny day!



Thought i'd update this as its only a week to go! getting my oil and gearbox oil changed later so will get some pics of how my car stands atm!

Ahh cheers mate, I know it seems silly but i'd love to drive over there for a weekend, stick a lap in, apply the sticker and head back :P

Keep us buzzed with everything!
