I don't think I've ever seen rear wheel arch 'enclosures' like that before, great idea! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stuart Davis (fatblokestu) AO - Devon & Somerset Posted February 24 Popular Post Share Posted February 24 The Mondeo wouldn’t start this morning, so trusty Winston came to the rescue for dropping Lorna at dance and then a run to Waitrose. She wasn’t impressed by the lack of a boot! There are 16 cans of Fanta in that bag 🤣 6 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrzej Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Managed to do over hour ride - first time with doors attached Its for sure less cold inside than with Lexan side wind deflectors. Warm from heater is like "keept inside cockpit" , outside arm and shoulder not frozen . And a little easier to talk with passanger. But.. soo tight! lot of joy gone 😕 And dont know why ? - more exhaust fumes smell especialy in passanger side (exhaust is on driver side) , strange. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve found half doors and wind deflectors a decent option to reduce buffeting and keep it a little warmer. It still restricts elbow room, but shoulders are not constrained. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hunter - Club Secretary Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Cheeky little meet up at Curburgring! I was tip toeing on the way due to the cold and damp roads, but had dried up enough on the way home to unleash the VTEC 😂 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SXRORY Posted March 3 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 3 Winter tinkering complete! just two ball joints and the most thorough clean i think shes had since i had it (8years) I got a DA for xmas so gave it a go. It has not got rid of the bigger marks as I did not know what i was doing so went cautious, but it got rid of the washing swirls of the slap a wash mit over it job that i like to do😜. I removed side stripes as they were starting to show there age but have added some decals this year. RL200 is the engine spec being a zetec r from Raceline. I was a little unsure of how they would come out but think it works well to break up the blue. Super happy with how its come out 👍 roll on summer! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianali Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 First runout with half doors fitted. Surprised how much they reduce turbulence in the cockpit. Apologies to Stuart Davies for the blatant copying. Didn’t keep my head any warmer though. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Carrot Steve Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I've found Sevens with windscreens have terrible buffeting. Unless you fit doors, or deflectors of course. My aeroscreen-only car has no buffeting at all. Obviously in rain it's hopeless but then I only take it out in the dry so all's good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
