wts going on with the fogs?? headlights lowered lots colour coded snorted!

does a body shop check structural integrity? im genuinly not sure lol. if its just a run about to be as cheap as possible, why straighten all the pannel? imho once fixed that car will not be worth much more than £1000 (considering the amount of filler it will have, and the fact that it has...

because they are rarely strcuturally sound after being rolled. once a cars been crashed once, everything weekens personally id only do this if there was at least a £500 saving to be made, if hes getting the parts cheap enough to make a sizable saving, then good on him.

ahh didnt notice that lol, means he has to do the repairs VERY cheap to break even! if he is doing it for a hobby, then go for it, could have picked a better car to restore, but who am i to judge. its a waste of money but most hobbies are. but if he is doing this to save...

if it genuinly saves money, (including the value youve put on your own time doing it) then id support it or even if it was a rare car being restored for a hobby, but its a clio DCI, that has a lot of damage, and has been rolled! seems like a waste of time and money imo

I dont doubt you skill at all, i doubt your sence. You havn't said how much you bought the car for yet?? despite being asked, so how much will the repairs cost?? perhaps around 1.5K for a half decent job including the painting. so you will have paid 1.5K + however much you bought the car...

thats scrap metal! will cost more than its worth to repair by far, i sure as hell hope you paid sub £100 for that!

im not sure if the distance between the plates on the shock are different though, i dont think you can machine them away because not only are the bolts further apart on the 58mm ones, the part that the shock bolts too is wider. can usually pick up hubs for around £20 each, but look hard...

:D

what kind of lense did you use to make these pics?? i love them! (especially the one of mine :D)

seems silly to have such a power house, and lower it on streched tyres?? surely it would perform better if the suspension and wheels were set up properly??

If it's 52mm, cheapest way to get on coilovers is to get the rokkor set, and some new (58mm) hubs!

What are the chances people leave without me?? No satnav and no hope!! If anyone reads this before you go, dont leave without the lowered blue clio!! Or call mw on 07758743279, thanks

why the hell is your sticker backward?? if i didnt have to go to bed, and wasnt abit drunk id post a pic of my polishing efforts lol! see this tomorrow!

hats off to you if you get it done pal! would offer a hand if i lived anywhere near you, but ill just lay in till about 1, give her a quick clean then go to bed ready for the morning :D

hmm, i may have to make a CD for the drive lol. hows the work going?? coming along i hope?? im ready apart from cleaning, and im not sure to what extent to do it :(. Some nice grey clouds mean the SRP may stay in the bottle.

the problem is, when you lower them so far, you cant drive them nearly as hard. it would be completely pointless having a 2.0L engine in mine because you can so rarely open it up! Also with a non-sport (especailly 1.2) there is no point chasing performance mods, just a waste of money, so...

you're not dubbing until you're scrubbing ;)

ooh didnt pay much attenetion to the second pic, yes, you could well run it like that, cut the red wire back to the blue, and the black wire back to the silver it will still heat up, because that looks like 8 awg but shouldnt be to too of a dangerous level.

pugeot 307 or something splitter works rather well.

running that wire is possible, however, the sub will cut out the second the voltage drops below a certain point, which with such small wire, will be very often because the amp is so juicy. if it doesnt cut out, it will create a large armount of heat, and you will risk a fire. it will most...

you need to run a bigger power cable than that!! youll need a multi meter to find out what wires what, usually, red is power, and goes to the battery, black is earth and goes to the isofix bar mounting bolt, and a blue (pink in your case by the looks of things) one that goes to the headunit...

oit! dont spam my thread! lol:rolleyes:

i didnt mean that as an attack at your car. Just trying to show my point that peoples opinion of what looks good differs from person to person. There's no "right" way to mod a car, its all personal opinion. IMO, the lower the better! because the world doesn't move to the beat of just one drum...

obviously peoples opinion of what looks right/good differs. personally i think the front of yours needs to come down a bit, you've got no arch gap at the rear at all, but plenty at the front,

im honoured you think so, but your insane amount of poke is an inspiration to us all! want a half cage and new steering wheel now :D

if yours has a 58mm bolt space, then theres a set of coilovers on the for sale section for £170! get involved! lol

hence why im asking lol, but if the disc is pretty thick and strong, and with a block of wood on the stand for the disc to sink into, it should spread the weight evenly

To the floor!

i want to see how far my coilovers are from the bump stops, however its quite low and the bumpstops are all the way up inside the chassis, and obviously the wheel is in the way, jacking the car up means the suspension isn't carrying the weight of the car! can i take the wheel off, and slowly...
