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?

Only engine wise modification i have is the mountune induction - maybe a flexi would be helpful might look for one second hand.

The Avons worth the price over T1Rs?

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

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.

I must say i had a few tailhappy moments on the ring with the rear seats out. But it will defo help with accelaration and braking
