  1. Right here you go, including a pick of the length diff between my C ones (longer blade) and the smaller of the two focus blades. They are prob less than an inch shorter and actually will prob work fine. They def fit i've just swopped em over. Fitment identical, and all the writing on them "made in Belgum" and nos are all the same!! Arms are slightly diff, but not far off and may well fit ok! Dont mind taking em the focus but took me ages to get right on mine so i aint swopping the arms. This could be a result after some research though?? :D
  2. The short one defo will fit no worries, but its slightly too short. Ill check again and post a pick in a mo.
  3. Had a 2 month old Focus today on a work trip, don't know engine size but performance was like playing PGR on xbox live over dial up :lol: Anyway, glanced at the wipers and wtf, they are only identical to the Lupo aeros ar'nt they!! Wipped the blade off and it goes straight into my Lupo'd C!! :shock: Can't see that this has been discussed so may be a good find as they aint going to be the same price as FAG, that much you can pretty much bet your pants on! The arms are different and the blades on the Fockus are very long and very short, BUT this has got to be worth some investigation on other fords eg: new Fiestas etc :wink: :?:
  4. WOW WOW WOW. don't change a thing, the perfect corrado. Looks sexy as .... mate and sweet picks
  5. I wouldnt pay £60 to be pulled, far cheaper round here. Seriously sounds like this country is going to the dogs mate. Imagine what he would have said if you'd popped the bonnet on the raddo when shes back. Probably investigate your insurance was right for 6 months!
  6. 1st off i've used the search and read just about everything going on removing the carbon can, but........ 1. How safe is it to poke the fuel vento pipe into the wing? Is there any chance of the fumes causing a fire? Or being really an.l will they strip all the rust proofing off and cause rust! 2. Can someone clarify exactly what the affect of bloking off the carbon pipe from the inlet and ditching the venting switch completely is? Will it coke up the engine quicker or something. And why does this mod give you better fuel economy :?: :-P sorry, being dumb as ever.........

    Pucker re-map isnt even easy on the 2.9. Think its much easier if you have converted to obd2 though.

    Full respray?

    Doof, i'd ask Furki where his was done, cant be a stupid distance from you. Would be worth it, look at his gallery! From panel work done before now i'd agree aswell that an "average" spray job will allways bug you. If your prepared to have the car done its worth paying a little extra for a top job from someone recommended by personal expirience, even better if you can see some examples of the work. Also make sure your not scared to tell them EXACTLY what you expect to see when its done.
  9. That is one sweet car mate, paint looks amazing!! Love it.
  10. Take the headlight out mate. About £90 for a fog light from the dealer i think! GPC or Vagparts prob get you the unit cheaper. Or you can get a lens from the usa and just replace that with a bit fiddling. Post on this in the search, but i think Kevs done his and others.
  11. Phil, makes sure you get over there with the camera dude! Early night sat for you mate. Can't wait to see it Furk, although i cant imagine it looking any better than i did before!!
  12. Thats well cool Andi, interesting to see the timing too

    spend a bit more and buy my jvc avx1!
  14. They dont grit roads in German as it damages cars! If its icey, they dont drive. This whole debate is all about one thing, MONEY. If it makes money (speed cameras) the gov love it. If it cost money, eg road surface, sod it! Road safety never comes into it when decissions are made i'd wager. Surely a pot holed, multi surface, channeled road surface has as much affect under braking as a tyre with 1mm of tread.
  15. I had a lot of fun with mine, or rather the tyre fitters did, then a porka specialist did them in the end. I know they used unibond silicon sealant, about £8 a tube in the diy places. Just make sure it has as higher silicon content as poss, that what i was told and its done the job! Anyone know the actual torque setting for the bolts out of interest. presume most splities have similar bolts and torque requirements?
  16. Jeees! Looks like the casting split. and how big are those pistons!! Suprising theres not more oil around although i guess it just vapourised. They have crazy engines, from gas turbines to RR merlin engines, awsome!!
  17. Anyone know if PVW is out tommorrow. Think they are on the 10th of the month. and, will the Stealth day be in this one, or the following? Anyone know when we can laugh at each other looking like choppers leaning against our cars!? 8) / :oops:
  18. Presure test as they dont allways show oil in water and water in oil signs i here? Im sure you knwo the obvious stuff and are more likely to be advising me than vice versa! Pres test anyway in my book, saves a lot of speculation and gives you a defo answer once and for all.
  19. Nice one mate, boy do they rev!! What did you think of the 944? I drove an S2 on a g plate. Was the 3litre one and around the 200bhp? Anyway, lovely car and felt like it was carved out of a solid bloke of iron build wise. LOVED driving it with the headlights up at the end of the long bonnet, dont no why that just felt so good. Wierd thing was it felt really slow. Nice and very smooth, just a good all round car but didnt exilerate. felt like it was too long geared imo?

    Blimmey, thanks 16v. Its a long way from some on here. You cant see the bad bits in the picks! Lots more i want to do tbh, but money wise I really have gone mad this yr and its all on the CC!
