Nice one Lauren :) Me and Jamies coilovers both turned up yesterday so gotta get working on the stance.
3SDMs are smart as fu*k.....if you get them you gonna have them the standard silver?
HAha on the ditchfinders.....well u said yourself its low and slow so if ur not going over 60.....who...
Forogt to say well done for your new side-job Lauren :) saw it on fb the other day.
Btw, car is coming along nice..... have you sorted the issue with the coilovers yet? You just gonna get bigger wheels?
PS....rolling on £37 quid tyres.......ballllller
oh, i thought i was way off :)
Hmm so in that case, its between 25 mm and 20 mm spacers. Do you reckon running ET5 would generate some scrubbing without stretched tyres?
lol i was just re-reading bio's and paulbags old threads (bored at work).....Did love the stance Bio had towards the end before he sold it. Would have loved to have seen some different wheel on it though
Hi,
Im trying to work out roughly what spacer i will be able to run before i fit my coilovers and new wheels but im pretty sure i working it out wrong so if anyone could help that would be awesome.
Websites indicate that MK3 (non sport) should run et between 35 and 45.
The wheels I have...
Who rated this thread 5 star lol i sure didnt ;) ......bet it was you tom!
Yeah that would be brilliant if you could do that mate, very helpful. Im thinking of maybe getting the springs the same size but slightly softer, then it should compress a little more?? Not sure how that would handle...
Just sent a message to coilsprings regarding shorter springs but havent got a clue what size im after so i look like a bit of a mong :/ maybe if i just take out the adjuster on the rear as im gonna want it sitting as low as possible there anyway lol. That should drop it another 1cm for sure?
Re: Silver MK3 TCE Progress Thread
Probably not this weekend, but the weekend after, so still a lil while....will just have to make do with staring at them in my bedroom pretending im in a racecar.

Re: Silver MK3 TCE Progress Thread
Yeah mate it did include delivery (free) and........i just received them at work! The smile on my face is pretty huge right now!

Re: Silver MK3 TCE Progress Thread
Now now.....legend is a bit strong.....extremely gifted/helpful/modest would be better ;)
Yeah i actually lilke it with them wheels, looks quite purposeful/meaner. Think it would look smart with a colour code and some coilys on R18 RHT (induction kit and...
Re: Silver MK3 TCE Progress Thread
Yeah true, personally, i think i have made my car more sellable since i have bought it, making it more subtle etc, but you will never recoup the money lost on coilovers etc. Personally, if i was gonna sell up soon, i wouldnt bother, but i will be keeping it a...
Re: Silver MK3 TCE Progress Thread
I thought it would be toms thread lol ive been doing photoshops for him to help choose wheel colours etc :) yeah his is sitting nice, very clean simple example! Have you got your eye on any other wheels atm then?

Re: Silver MK3 TCE Progress Thread
Haha im glad you edited your post lol i was confused as my ride height certainly isnt perfect ;) it will be sat just over the tyres when its done though and spaced right out....should look mean :)
surprisingly canastas arent that easy to get hold of...

Re: Silver MK3 TCE Progress Thread
Ok, had quite a productive/successful day with the car. Decided it was about time to tackle the limo tints and put the new plates on....plus give it a wash, was filthy.So got the 2 side window tints out in about 40mins which wasn't too bad and just pulled...
Re: Silver MK3 TCE Progress Thread
So got bored tonight and me and my brother fancied a challenge so tried our hand at vinyl wrapping.....well pleased with the results. Totally changed the outlook of the interior. Will add pics tomoz when its light but these are the ones I took as we were in...
Pm'd austin and see what he says....hopefully i can spare the gearstick.
Also, i know a lot of saxo users etc cut it down, it seems to be a popular mod around a few other forums. Not something that really interests me.....i just dont want it to look broken lol
