all 3 wouldnt go at once!!
id be incredibly suspicious and take the car back tbh, look over it yourself, its pretty easy to see if the clutch and driveshaft have gone!
and 2 weeks to get parts??
since the shaft and box need to come out anyway for a clutch change, the labour shouldnt be too...
As above really,
i have a carbon bonnet, but i want to convert to bonnet pins for quick and easily removal.
however i dont really want to be drilling/cutting straight into carbon fibre because im scared of splitting it!
tbh, if youre looking to go low, 60mm isnt really enough,
best bet is to get the budget coilovers off ebay,
theyre even easier to fit that springs and you can have it at any ride height you like!
90 for springs + 90 to fit
or 200ish for coilovers and if yourself!
id be on this,
dying to know that kinda power shes pumping!

i can do a full set of clio springs in about an hour,
and thats with no ramp, regular tools,
and im far from a trained mechanic!
do it yourself man, its a very simply job,
or pay a garage top for £50 to do just the front (and do the backs yourself)
or pay no more than 70 for the full job!
atm, im going to run the valver track for this summer,
but am very tempted to go down the 172 engine/track this winter/next year
to run 172 brakes you need 172 hubs
which require 172 shocks and full track with steering rack, wishbones, and arb no????
haha your final point is the one thats swaying me at the moment (shameful as it sounds)
good good, as atm, in the dry, i dont have enough braking force to lock the wheels if i wanted too! implying a brake upgrade should be on the cards!! (and completely rebleeding the system!)
ive asked you in...
Looks great mate,
where are you thinking of doing your track sessions??
my clio should be ready by marchish and id love to tag along for some beginner sessions!!
yes for the braking torque is equvelant to braking force x radius,
so less force will be needed by the brakes to make the same stopping power,
meaning less heat/less fade
using the same callipers with this kit

would it make a noticable difference in braking performance??
over using the same products but sticking with 260mm discs?

thanks
My valver is compeltely stripped at the rear,
no door cars,
no carpet,
no headlining,
no sound deadening,
i was wondering if i should lower the tyre pressure on the rear since its not really carrying any weight at all!
any suggestions
^^ THIS,
ive got a 449 blue valver and want to do larey wheels,
but orange has been done to death,
Light blue/green would look gash
yellow would look like a terrible williams rep!
not sure what colour to do!
lower it a lot more than 60mm,
to pull off the rat look, and make it look good,
it needs a few nutty mods,
stupidly expensive wheel,
and rediculous ride height usually work.
haha the word euro should be put in the swear filter!!
euro is a very hard style to label!
its like being "good looking"
if you call yourself good looking, you automatically loose
and what is "good looking" will differ from person to person.
im a big fan of euro styled cars,
but i think that blue thing that justin_ posted look dreadful
as long...
Hmm, its not really my cuppa,
and just a hint, its not euro, its rat!
euro is on the floor, very clean, wheels out the arches and a few personal touches,
if you call your own car euro, it better be VERY euro or you will be burned for it!
welcome mate,
car looks smart,
theres a big cliosport.net meet down southend seafront tonight if youre not up to anything
