aye the cvh loves to tap when they get worn specially the 1.4's


my zetec has an Ashley mild steel 4-2-1, not a strut brace of such, the standard 3.5 item that bolts to the chassis, but yea it acts as a factory spec strut brace

yeah but for £180, it's dead money. better going for a top quality. but then again, you get what you pay for!

your paying around double that of a ashley for a stainless tailored one, not quote worth it if you can just get an ashley fitted fine

but ashleys seem like much harder work and will eventually cost more to repair/replace in the future?

and about the tappets, mine have been sticking for a while... this a bad thing?

the cvh typically suffers from tappety or sticky rockers, just use some treatment additive, or actually cleam them yourself by taking the rocker cover off

Put my private plates on last thursday! on my birthday. they look cool me thinks




then after me and my mate had washed our cars last weekend, we decided to have a little photoshoot.

his car is a 2002 mini cooper s R53 (the supercharged ones) running a piperX panel filter and JCW Cat-back and MiniSport spots. probably running around 170bhp.

current spec on my arosa is. BMC DIa filter, Longlife de-cat pipe, Gmax 40mm suspension, Whiteline rear roll bar, omp lower front strut brace 14x7J BORBET Ts with 195/45/14 toyo T1-Rs all round, EBC Greenstuff rear pads, hopefully pushing 110bhp.

















spot my fiesta?? lol

had it back from the bodyshop 2day, and the paint is tidy now. 3rd time lucky!

may be selling the arosa in the near future though....
