Busy busy day today!!!
Few pics before we started, not washed since October lol. Sat on Sportlines, very good set up imo,
More purchases
Bilstien B14 Coilovers came yesterday
15% off @ Kam racing, couldnt resist tbh!!
Few after fitting,
Never got any 'after' pics, too dark lol!!!
Anyway, once a quick check to make sure nothing fell off afterfitment, back in for some more jobs
For all the doubters, we trial fitted kev steves MK3 steering wheel, it fits, same splines etc!! Smaller than a standard wheel, and 99% sure the airbag will wire up too (same resistors required as the MK2)
PROOF!!!
Anyway, back to the real reason....
So, lots done toady!!! Big big thanks to Steve at Birchdown for the work done!!!! Done around 10 miles on the B14's, so far. very impressed!! Going to let them settle over the next few weeks, then get them fully set up at Tweeks.

Didn't you get this to save some cash?
Is that 200 steering wheel alot smaller than the 172/182 effort?
Same size as the 197 wheel IIRC, so quite a bit smaller.
Regarding the wheel, we just tried my old one as it was off! It locates on the splines fine etc!
As you can probably see we fitted a phase one indicator / light stalk due to loosing the horn button, had to swap the indictor cancel over but was a doddle.
May need a bit of fiddling with the trims to make sure it doesn't catch, but we didn't go down that road!
As for the airbag i can't see why it won't just plug in and play, but that is just an opinion, so don't blame me if it goes pop! lol.
Bilsteins look very good quality, easy peasy to fit, even though he should have shown you the first time we dropped it on the floor!
Raised it 25MM since lol!
Went for a quick spin in it last thing, they fell good tbh, not over hard, and i was expecting them to be very firm if i am honest!!
Also super delivery times from KAM racing! :approve:
It's looking good, goes well also!, feels so brutal compared to the 200 lol!

Bilsteins are very good!!! Firm, but controlled, very impressed so far. Need to pick up the front another 10mm i feel, so will get on the case next weekend, not a big job.

TTRS & V50
Very very nice. Any pics with said coilovers on, they look mint.
Any news on the H&R, buyer waiting here
Also is there need to put a nut on the bottom shock bolt ? Or is it for peace of mind..

Good spot!!!
Some fuccker in a previous life cross threaded the original bolt thats welded to the beam. So we had to mod it lol. All safe as houses though.
No pics yet, as the gf has the car toady, i have her 106 gti. Thought i'd better wash it, as not been done since August!!!

It was a very good setup tbh pal, he just wanted a bit lower! Rode very well.
Golf GT TDI
might get you to fit them when iam up next, got to get a set first.
how much did the sportlines lower it by because on the box it says 50mm but that is not 50mm is it?
He said that to me! ha ha! He was checking a warning light on a golf, came back and i was on the last corner!
RS Clio 172 Cup
Exellent read. Just got a Cup aswell, and needs some attention to bring it back to its best. Gives me some willpower to get mine in tip top conditions.
Good work. keep it up

Few small purchases
First off bought a set of used (abused)front calipers off here. With wanting to do a reasonably good job, and not wanting the car off the road, decided another set was ideal..... i can do them at my own pace without rushing
So they needed a good clean/prep before paint. Reading 400bhp.com's thread
http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=437863&highlight=electrolysis&page=7
saw he used electrolysis to clean up his hubs/brakes etc. Thought i'd give it a bash. So, off the Tesco's for some Soda Crystals, threw them in a bucket of water, strapped up a ebay special battery charger to an old battery (cheers kev), then the part to be cleaned to the (-)'ve and a pice of tin to the positive (making sure they dont touch lol!!)
lol
6 hrs later, quick wire brush down, before and after,
Happy with that, gives a good surface for the primer with little effort tbh! Just doing the other bits over the next week........
Another purchace from here came last week,
Non RS lowers, note the poor casting finish
My old Cup had a set of the RS inlets, which did seemed to be better finished. I've yet to check what my current cup runs.....
Uppers, not as bad
Going to get these matched over the next few weeks
