Motor Bodies in Birmingham havent got their number to hand, soz

Talk to Night.Icon, his mate does very good work at a reasonable price I believe.

And as there is more weight further from the hub it will accelerate slower too.

Yup, got mine yonks and yonks ago, and still think its between that and the eibach springs as to which is best value for money mod Ive done. Lovin it, apart from in the dead of winter when the whole thing get just too cold to touch for long periods - but then you just learn to shift even...

My guess is youve been through Manchester at some point and a couple of ravers have just snook in to the engine bay for a bit of a kip between sessions, dont worry just give em a bottle of water each and point them back toward manchester and youll be fine :p

Right, just found this http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=6&TopicID=34804thread where the guys says the original tyres are 175/60R14 So there you go steve no worries with gettin them mate :) (Note to everyone - remember if you alter the width of the tyre you DO...

Huh? and now in English please LoL

Steve, if you go for 175, the go for them in a 55 profile instead of a 60 as this lessens the difference in RR of the tyre (all of this is done on the assumption that 165 was the original tyre diameter)

Ok peeps - heres a http://www.tyresave.co.uk/tyresize.htmlwebsite that will help you understand the connection between tyre width and diameter....... No more arguements - it DOES alter the RR of the tyre.

Yes because the sidewall height is a percentage of the width, and therefore the circumference on the tyre increases unless you drop the sidewall percentage too

Hmmmm remember steve that if the original size is 165 and you put on 175s without altering the profile you will have a speedo error (You will be going faster than the speedo indicates)

Bubbles, the previous owner, had them done down in Essex for £125 iirc.

Ca15 postcode? hmm so youre up in cumbria somewhere then? Im from Keswick though living down in Solihull currently - we should meet up when I take my next run-to-the-hills :D

You could yeah, and youd have a "Speed gap" that Homer Simpson would be proud of :p

(172)Hmmmmmmm only things Ive got to take out now is all the plastic trim and the dash, got rid of the back seats and spare ages ago, and now swapped the heavy front seats for nice lightweight ones - in fact the passenger seat will be out for 1/4 milen this year toooo (williams) yup take it...

It can be dangerous whatever speed youre doing mate - get some proper springs as cutting is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad its untrue.

Dean! Do some pictures looking straight on and the wheels and not looking down, your pics make it look lower than it really is ;)

Hmmmm ok bit more than I was expecting - bugger... ok who else can be tried? must be someone around who a) can get hold of lsds, and b) can fit them for something under £1k, if I can find that Ill somehow find the money and do it, I aint wanting to go down the traction control route cos that...

It is considerably lower than yow ;)

I am in need of an LSD, fitted obviously, so any info would be great :)

LoL @ craig - next time choose a pic which dont have wings which are part of the shell my friend, and the shell is different - no sunroof and roof/chassis strengthening.

Good year Eagle F1s, nuf said

Goto any independant car audio place, I just went into one in Leamington Spa and they had the right ones there and then mate, nothing special.

The k-tec de-cat pipe fits the mk2 if you have a k-tec exhaust with the telescopic section in it, as the cat section on the mk1 (which it was designed for) is 2 inches shorter than the mk2 cat. (I am of course talking about the decat pipe and not the sports cat)

^^^^---- Yup badly wrong, they of course mean 2004

Hmmmm youve got caster adjustment on the fk coilovers too? cool Have you spoken to Nick about this problem? cos Id be suprised if he wouldnt want to fix the problem he inadvertently caused - hes a good blokey.

Ok, youre talking about the oil temperature dial, there is a temperature sender somewhere on the engine block (I dont honestly know where, maybe on the front of the block near the where the dipstick enters??) check the wiring there, you could also check the sender itself with a multimeter as the...

you tell him what you want and hell most probably be able to get them at a damn good rate.

12k miles erm, 12k & 24k services around £140-170 mark 36k service higher, though I dont know how much.

40 on the rears seems a bit excessive, I havent changed mine since my last track day, running 38/34 and although breakaway is a bit sharper it feels better and for alot of high speed motorway work it will be better for your tyres.
