Re: What the fcuking fcuk??
Seriously, there's loads of this stuff on ebay lol: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/secret_affair/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686
WTF
Id argue that Renault spent millions developing the chassis of the 1*2, & Eibach will have also done great research into the correct spring rates, etc to use with the standard shocks, both aiming to make the handling as best a compromise as possible for all types of driving. I cant imagine that...
Have you drive a car on Sachs, Bilsteins, H&R or AST's, or even a fresh/new 182 on standard stuff?
Those who knock them, have probably experienced a better setup :)
Entirely up to you really, i always used bushes/mounts etc and never really had any problems, other people used aftermarket.
Preference i guess, but i saw no issue with standard, so didnt bother uprating just for the sake of it.
Decent suspension/brakes will make your car far quicker cross country than spaffing money on engine mods btw ;)
To the OP, ktec coilovers are good if you just want looks/nice ride. Personally, id go for standard OEM stuff combined with some eibach springs. Ive always been one to get a car 100%...

I reckon if we got him to record a soundclip of the wurzles 'ive got a brand new combine harvester' to include as well, we could charge at least an extra 50%. Really low cost of sale, but high margins, like the ktec induction kit of the fetish world!
OMG, you're not using a cup in the wet over winter? Thats pretty dangerous tbh, no ABS etc. FailSport can offer all the parts from a normal 172 to convert the cup to abs if needed. I have no idea whether they would fit, but you could certainly try!!!

Colshe is lucky as he fits into that balding ginger man fetish stuff though. His lingerie would sell for £££'s.
Like this (NSFW lol)
Feel free to be offensive lol, i couldnt care less ... Not entirely sure how its boy racer though tbh. Bland yes, its a golf, doesnt exactly stir the loins.
lol, if you're anything like me, you spend all day watching the BTCC, looking at 200's on Autotrader.
Tis weird, despite the fact that i wasnt massively impressed by my 197, i still find myself drawn to them. Perhaps when they are £6k ...
lol, you're worse than me!! I needed new top mounts for the R32, so bought coilovers, full suspension refresh/bushes/arms and tyres.
If its got to come apart, i might as well renew everything :o
You're right about the diff though, they're easily re-sellable!
Horrific isnt it!!
Although this thread does prove my theory of the CS cycle of 'fashionable traders' - you get 2 years where you are 'in', then have two years to make your money, then s**t hits the fan and you have to leave/fall over/get bought by someone else ...Yozzasport, GDI, Angelworks...
