Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

its as low as it can go on the front till i get smaller tyres, the rear will go lower when i have another day off to tinker about with the height

i no the nuts are gonna marmite, but i love them i have to say

all done...

 

[Kieran..]

Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

a side on pic from a week ago, rear is much lower and fronts lowered another 10mm since

 

[twiztid]

Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

Nose down much in that old pic mate! Ahah I'm off work after tonight so I'll be down to help sometime get it more lows

 

[Kieran..]

Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

i think im off monday, so ill prob be arch rolling the rear more again

 

[Jacko90]

Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

Are they 8j Kieran? I wanted to do this since I got mine but I was beat to it ! I guess you need the camber in the rear to fit them snug? Do the fronts fit in the arches without camber? I don't know if it would be safer with 7j?

Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

Looks good Thought I'd hate it!

 

[Kieran..]

Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

The wheels are 15x7j mate, hard enough to fit with 7j lol let alone 8j! Lol

Cheers Sam! Need to sOrt out the tyres as its still scrubbing like a b**ch and I'm not even low!!

Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

Good work mate and like the way your going with this .. Personaly i would loose them tyres and go for a stretched look with some camber ,, hes my mates car with the above

 

[Kieran..]

Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

What does he use to stop the car from squatting at the rear when accelerating hard? As this is when mine scrubs most

 

[Jimmyrallye]

Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

Its because your running a big tyre profile,, thats why your scrubbing

 

[MADNESS88]

Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

car looks very nice! not s sheep at all. wondered where you got the yellow fogs from?

 

[JakeJ]

Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

are you wheels off of an mx5? they look mint. would it be possible to have an idea on how much you paid for them?
jake

 

[Kieran..]

Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

I paid roughly 700 with tyres, yeaaa I just assumed even with smaller tyres it might still scrub under acceleration, just don't want to buy new tyres and it still do it lol

Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

[Kieran..]

Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

changed front discs and pads, tighened a bolt on steering rack and keep driving his car around to find out what the noises were using loads of petrol iirc haha

 

[twiztid]

Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

Track rods were sorted and was told the wheel bearings need doing sometime and sorted my electrics lol

 

[Kieran..]

Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

New I missed a couple of things out! Lol

 

[Kieran..]

Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

little update

want to make the front look a bit more aggressive so will be buying some subtle smoked lamin x for the headlights tomorrow afternoon.

will only be slight difference.. so shouldnt effect light output too much

 

[Jekyll]

Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

Where do you buy that from mate? I have a friend that has put very fine subtle mesh over the headlights and it looks ace so could try that also if the film doesn't work.

 

[Kieran..]

Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

It's just lamin x, they their own website mark. Yeaa on my fiesta I used the fly eyes on my rear lights, didn't like it, look like someone just put tights over them lol

 

[Kieran..]

Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

done the lamin x on headlights, only pics with one done but will get some more later

its hard! got a few little bubbles, says they will fade away after a week or so, if they do then ill keep it if not then ill get rid.

looks good bar the bubbles

 

[domsclio182]

Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

Looks cool,does it affect the headlight performance then

Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project
