The pic doesnt do the exhaust justice tbh, its only just been pushed right back and slightly cut into the bumper so its sat perfectly, I'll try and get another pic in a minute.

I'm not sure on the alloys myself, sometimes I think they look good other times I wanna change em. They're the standard Taurus ones which came on this model.

Whats the best affordable way to lower it?
 
i know they are stanadard alloys but i really dont like them, the rest of the car looks nice though!!

how much have you got to spend on lowering?

Springs is the cheapest way to lower.

Lose the 14" RSi Alloys i use to have them aswell awful alloys lol

Full colour code would be great i think

:D

Heres a few more pics of the back end to show how the exhaust is sat

Think they show it better tbh.

Not sure how much to spend on lowering but don't wana spend too much. What do people think are the best type of springs, as in the manufacturer?

That looks mint i love them 16V one i wanted one but had to settle for a 1.6 8V Si. Wheels should stay or get some ph1 172 wheels. Lowering on eibach sportline springs although there a bit expensive but very good.
 
  172 & RSi
Thanks for the good comments :)

Iv heard a bit about the Eibachs wheres the best place to get some?

Oh and theyre quite nippy, 110bhp. About the same speed as a saxo VTR I reckon.

Cheers

i had this in my mark 1 it jumps bout 4 times when u pull of i was told it was mounts used 2 do it nearly every time.

i had 2 have my trackrod ends done bout a mont later and problem solved except the odd litle one witch i think is prob a litle wheel spin

anyway hope this is use to you.

if you want to check them pull them and see if there is play.

good luck fella.

Nice car mate, if I get some wheels I'm after that sort of style.

Seems we have a very similar taste lol. What wheel are they and how much they set you back?

Woo just got it back from the garage, the engine mountings were gone as I expected, one had sheared off completely. All fixed now though and better than ever :D :D :D

they were on my mates honda, and when he decided to sell up i bought them off him, cost me £200 plus some spigot rings to fit the renault centre bore. they are made by DGT which is based in essex and they import them. relatively heavy wheel but they will do and they look so much better than the original taurus wheels.
 
  172 & RSi
Yeah they look quite cool on the 172 alloys but prefer turinis or ultralegs tbh. What mods have you all done to your 1.6s then? Need some ideas...

I wanna lower and colour code it and I was thinkin maybe some spacers to make the wheels sit out a bit more but not sure on costs or sizes??

Also what air filters or IK's have you all got on yours, mines standard atm but thinkin about upgrading....

Cheers
 
  Lots of Alfas
One of the best things about the Rsi's is the wheels, I must be the only person that likes them, Id have them myself if they fitted around the 172s brakes.
