mk2 ph1 minor plans

[ewan]

This is my first car on the road. It aint much but a good start none the less haha! Thought i would show the start of this wee project.

got very little money to spend on this, but its gonna be fun anyway!

This is is just after I sorted rust bulges round the arches - wee bit of colour coding on the side strip. Sorry about rubbish quality!

Got some 2007 clio dynamique 16inch alloys - 195 45 16's

Looking to get it lowered next. Anyone got suggestions? Cant afford coilovers tho unless i wait ages

 

[welshname]

get pikey on it and chop your springs.

 

[akaboogie]

yeah change the wheels try look like....:dapprove:

apart from that looks o.k mate..

 

[Whiskerz16v]

I like those wheels on it! Get it on it's arse and it's a winner!

 

[Clio_Al]

Nice looking ph1

for the springs i would get some eibach sportlines

 

[Whiskerz16v]

Nah apex 60mm ones sits perfect on them IMO

 

[Clio_Al]

apex are cheaper ?

 

[Whiskerz16v]

I think so £100 for the apex ones on eGay

get some dual optic headlights and HID's and slam it! get some rokkor coilovers for £170 off ebay.

good base to start with, not so sure on the wheels though!

Yeah the wheels were £140 with all mint tyres, looked one hell of alot better than the trims! Dam heavy tho! :/
Would have been well up for some 16" 172 alloys, but couldnt find any up near where i live! Ach well at least they are different

You think rokkor coilovers would fit alright or would i need to look at getting the right bolt spacing sorted? they sound like a wise choice! if not 60mm

 

[gunner3011]

youll have to measure your bolt spacing on the bottom of your strut ( centre of bolt to centre of bolt ) and that will tell you wether its 52mm or 58mm i think!

rokkors come in only 58mm iirc and people say ph1 non sports arnt that measurement but mine was ... so just measure and find out!

 

[ewan]

Cannot be assed measuring that, just gonna bin the project..

LOL jk will do, cant wait to get it PANNED!

Bad news, battery keeps dying after winter, when i jump start it is revs high to like 2800 rpm by itself, dont know if thats it just trying to keep itself going or not. Hopefully just needs a good run! Maybe a new alternator...will see

 

[gunner3011]

the cars are slow so they need to go low!!

might just be a dodgey battery, local motor factors or garages do free checks normally so just get it checked. abut £50 for a new battery

 

[ewan]

52mm spacing, b****cks

 

[Whiskerz16v]

Could always buy 58mm hubs and change them over when you fit the coileys
