I would not use the comp brake fronts - not enough adjustabilty
Maybe that's what they did with mine?

I'm just using OE this time around.

Picked up an m52 six branch very cheap, so might mock up and see if it clears the steering?

Ordered rims.

Have pretty much everything now, except the interior. I've got seats & steering wheel sorted but need to dye the carpet.

Well things are coming together. The m50 inlet, 6 branch and Dastek should mean a reliable 240 brake, so a 75bhp shot of nitrous will be a bit of a laugh. Opted for Ny-trex triple threat system although I won't be using the purge system for the ''Too fast, too many gearchanges'' flip switch to arm it.

Well I need to decide on the colour. It's got to be orange but can't decide between the original MIB shade or Colorado like this 2002?

Or

?

Opinions invited.

So the choice is between Inka and Colorado? Never heard about Colorado before but I'm not an 02 man. Perhaps Colorado is brighter?

Prefer the colour of MIB tbh.

The orange might be period, but you'll be tarnished with the Focus ST-2 crowd.

Just my opinion of course :)
