Hi there, Just made some last (I hope!) adjustments to the car after fitting the gaz coils couple of days ago and I'm under the impression that I'm too low on the front, although I've seen here some silly low clio's I'm having 32 cm from the center of the front wheel to the top of the wheel...

not sure how close to the mani my cable runs, as my car is LHD. What you are saying makes sense, but when mine creaks it sounds really close to the fork. I just remembered that most renault services (or all of them I'm not sure) have a listening device, basically a metal pin connected to some...

espace/v6 airbox as it has a larger air feed and a itg filter inside

used BMC/Maxogen if you want cheaper yet a nice looking/sounding induction kit

ok but how come after I lube the fork pivot point and the fork/release bearing area (although that is a tricky spot to get to) the creak is gone for couple of days, even if hot outside? I'm sure that changing the cable sorted the problem for some people but that's not always the cure

say from the center of the wheel to the top of the arch. I'm interested as well cause I forgot to measure mine before going to coilovers

^ good idea, especially when I spent the entire saturday fitting the coilovers! seriously speaking, I'm not gonna get back to standard, I so love the way the car corners now, even if they're the GAZ stuff that everyone hates For a first coilover experience they are just right and for now I'll...

mine is rubbing on the outer wall. will get it sorted these days as I intend to rise the back about 7-8mm

will do before I'll get here:

Just got my coils mounted and according to GAZ the adjuster knobs affects both bump and rebound. If changing the springs to harder spec am I gonna have to send the shocks to gas to re-seal them? Chances of them leaking will decrease if I keep them at a softer setting? would be tricky If I had...

I keep doin' this with no success whatsoever lol now this is something that It's gonna happen :)) I quite like the offset the ultras give, even if they were available in 45 offset I'd still keep them I'm gonna have some 2118's one day this year hopefully. given the situation I'll probably...

Is there any cure to the rear arch scrubbing? I've seen loads of clios lowered more than mine is atm so any suggestions on solving this? p.s: this happened with 4 people inside the car, 2 of them being over the 100 kg mark

Fittet my coilovers today and did the bumper bracket too. I've searched to find some pics of this mod, been told that many people just bend it out of the way but I never found some actual pics Anyway, for those interested here's how I did it removed the arch liner and twisted the bracket so it...

what a piece of hot hatch history that is! keep it safe mate!

the real advantage is that they won't alter suspension geometry while cornering and are pretty much bullet proof. But yes, a rear ARB will make make a noticeable change in the car's behaviour. I'd still get the top mounts at some point. A good allround suspension setup isn't complete without...

I also bought the k-tec ones but i'd go for the ast ones right now for the adjustments they offer

good thing you're much closer to the UK then ;)

rhd clio in Germany? how come?

maybe this one?

mine squeal when hot but then again, they're a track pad so it's almost normal. I binned the shims and filed them down though. Is there other "trick" in making them quiet? :D

I'm sure I'll figure it out when the time will come. I was just curious how others did it

Was thinking and it just made sense how the toe changes with adding camber. Doesn't matter if you add it by using bolts or anything else. Easy to understand if you draw a sketch of the joints in the suspension and try and figure out what happens. Hope this thread will answer some questions for...

found this thread http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?601745-Tracking-fail-%28commence-flaming%29 and according to post#9 adding camber gives toe in. This is what happened to mine when I added camber via camber bolts So basically there are 2 ways of adding camber: 1. by lowering- in...

will do ;) Glad to hear someone actually happy with gaz. My only concern is that I live quite far from Gaz themselves and a warranty claim would give me some headache but I hope for the best. After all I was lucky with my milltek LOL

toe out meaning that the wheels will be opened to the front of the car? I'm asking cause I know toe in/out means different to some people

GHA, If I had 900 I wouldn't risk it on gaz and went for h&r or smth :)

gaz coilies on their way so I'm researching (yes I know they're not well seen here but I wanted the damping adjustment ;) ) I think a better question will be: If lowering what happens with the toe settings? it goes out or in? this would be helpful to know :D

anyone got some pics of the mod?

I know that when I fitted the camber bolts I had to do the tracking after. So you get some coilies, set them 30 mm lower for road use, do the tracking; then you go to a track day, get them an extra 30 mm lower, do the tracking and then you do it once more after returning to the road setup? this...

... I will always have to do the tracking after that? I am more concerned about the toe in/out values Do they change after messing with the ride height?
