Hi guys, I've got a few bits and pieces for sale, starting with... Ford RS Steering Wheel with centre cap. Good overall condition, centre cap is mint, just needs a clean. Lower stitiching has just started to come apart, easy repair. A rare wheel now. £60 4 speed 1.6 Cortina box. Mint, no crunches, great smooth and slick change. £20 Matching prop shaft £15 Four dart board wheels, with tyres, chrome trim rings, centre caps and nut covers. Easy 7mm tread on each tyre. 3 matching, mismatched tyre appears to be an update of the other 3. £50 Ghia centre console. Started to paint black, paint took really well so would easily recolour to whatever you like. £5 Arm rest. Complete, arm rest piece needs a bit of work. £5

Hi all! I would like to know what offset standard Mk5 Cortina steel wheels are? I know they are pretty much a fwd offset but I'd like to know what it is exactly! What width can you get on them? Would like to get it on 8x13"s! Cheers Paul

Does anyone know who owns the 'minty' fiesta on the front page of the site?

ill be there, first outtng in my fiesta (Y)

evenin all, what offset will i need to get some 7 inch wide wheels under the arches of a mk1 fez? wont be lowered or anything just yet as its my first car, but would like something with a bit of dish on it, any ideas? im guessing tyre profile will be important as well, do like the stretched look.....

thanks for the input guys, any ideas where I could get hold of a set? also, will lowering springs affect my insurance massivly? bearing in mine im 18 and this will be a) my first car, and my first year of driving i spy a large bill......

evening all, looking for some nice steelies to go on a mk1 fiesta, any ideas? was thinking along the lines of wellars, or lotus steels with chrome hub caps, can you get reproduction lotus steels anywhere? any help or ideas greatly appreciated, cheers paul

do you know how you go about ligthing the flywheel on the models with crank trigger ignition as they don;t pick up off of the ring gear? I've heard they pick up off of a plate riveted to the flywheel? if so is it even possible to lighten these flywheels?

not the most tunable of engines i know, but i may build one for a oval racer. Any tips on how to get a bit more out of them, carb swap, conversions etc, head skims? any help appreciated cheers

is that the american diner in bybrook barn, or the one in the town?

evenin all! bit new to this game it has to be said, but love the old skool stuff, nout better than a screamin crossflow! be taking my drivin lessons soon, be looking out for a mk fiesta for my first setof wheels ; crossflow, light blue, slammed over a set of lotus steels with the chrome hubcaps. bit different but should look the nuts! anyway, im going to my first OSF meet on saturday in ashford, can anyone tell me exactly where it is? cheer guys paul
