Basiclly, i live in GRAVESEND, recently baught a FORD FIESTA 1.4 SI ( First car )

Got rear lexus light, sports performance exhaust, 15` alloys on it at the moment.

Now, i'd probably like to lower it, get tinted windows and some engine work done.

Here comes the advice i need.

How much FRONT & BACK would you recomend i lower it buy.

What engine work can i actually do ?

And were can i get my car windows tinted, Thanks 8-)

Also....

I really wanted to flush my fiesta out, so everything is electric, you know how i'd go about doing this ?

and a sensible body kit for the fiesta ?

lowering is simples, the sensible drop is -35mm but it all depends on what look your after, -60mm is a very nice slammage but can play havoc on your wishbones etc..

windows i cannot say as i dont live near you, i can reccomend a good place by me if you fancy a drive and it will only set you back Â£100 for the whole car

engine wise there is very little you can get out of the 1.4's hence why im doing a transplant for a 1.6turbo which drops straight in with very little other work,
couple of things you can change for it are air filter, decat exhaust

hope this is a help :thumbsup:

research tinting companies in your area if you don't fancy a driveto stunnings neck of the woods!

and the engine is either best swapped for a FRST lump or an XR2i CVH lump :thumbsup:

a decent FRST engine and ECU isn't cheap :hsugh:
