annoyingly so lol,
would 25mm even work on the back? would it not hit??
no jack fits under my car, i have to reverse it onto wood,
then use the widdow maker that came with the car to raise it abit more,
then get my jack under,
mine doesnt go down overly fast though
25mm works well on the front, but as you said, makes the rear look abit out of place,
YOU HAVE THE SAME JACK AS ME!
and yes that did require capitals lol
I hate the oem ph1 splitter, they're thin metal with rubber over the top, flex it too much and it will stay like that, and all of the ones i had, ended up like that :(
oh i sure as hell havnt raise it yet, it will be low for FCS at least,
tbh i probs wont raise it despite anything lol, i love...
well its not shattered yet, so thumbs up!
its pretty flimsy plastic so i imagine itll just flex around the speedhumps!
i just wish my driveshafts didnt hit my inner wing :(
have you tried the 25mm spacers? its just trial and error until its right stance wise, im finally semi happy with mine...
it should 58mm,
in experience its only 8v engined clios of both ph1 and ph2 that have the 52mm spacing,
easiest thing to do it either take a wheel off, or put it on full lock,
and measure! middle of the bottom bolt, to the middle of the top!
glad you like it dude :)
and BIF,
theyre...
thanks guys! this makes me happy lol,
ive tried to find a suitable compromise between level sills, and arch gap,
unfortunatley, ive found an issue today which may mean it needs to be raised :(
but i will need to ponder upon the matter first.
also i like the splitter, it gives it that "f**k...
quite a few people on here have done it, and no failures so far.
the bolts that hole the drum on are pretty long,
so long as you do the bolt up to the correct tightness i dont see why it would be unsafe.
and mine passed an MOT, but i wouldnt accept any liability if it did fall off.
its not the model of clio that makes the difference, its the distance between hub bolts, on the very low spec (mine :D) its 52mm, and 58mm on all the other (except 1*2).
Vmax do the coilover in 52mm for 399, but thats the cheapest i found,
full conversion cost around 300, that included the...
wheels are 15" 7j, with 165/50/15s on bit of stretch,
i did have camber on the rear reyes, but i thought it looked broken so took it off,
its on rokkor coilovers £168, for just the coilovers,
but they only do them in 58mm so a hub conversion was necessary,
i do want to smooth the...
took a little drive all over today,
not that many speedbumps where i live, and most of them are really long so only the splitter hits,
and loosing the splitter is an occupational hazard!
Finally on coilovers,
Maybe a bit too low for some peoples tastes, but I love it!
and believe it or not, only the splitter catches the floor, no tyre scrubbage either! win!
Bearing in mind one wheel is in the gutter!
And a couple more,
Plans are to get some silvervisions and...
thinking about it, i still need to sort the yellow fog light covers out, and adjust the coilies until im 100% happy with them,
sounds like you have your work really cut out there, good luck!
people from my area are convoying up, i meant alone in my car, hate driving to shows alone, plus i...
I bloody hope so! i was let down when i was visiting my sister in southampton and coincidently wandered past your uni house! steel wheels and high suspension FTL!!
the work for mine has already begun! going to clean it saturday and get an early night!
BIFCAIDS are you going to be at FCS...
coilies are the way forward dude,
i bought lowering springs,
then cut them basically in half to get low enough,
the ride was dire sitting on bumpstops, really bouncy until a certain height, then crash to a stop lol,
as said, get the rokkor ones!!
S23 and Tom46 are you both going to FCS...
Yup it does work, annoyingly i can now see that you dont need to change the callipers and discs lol,
tbh, after buying brake fluid and the new bolts ill need it probs wont be much cheaper than vmaxx, however, the better brakes will make for a more fun drive!
And in total, it took 2 days, but...
some punctuation would come a miss lol,
but tbh, i dont really think its the coilovers to blame for that, have to tried raising it to the same height as standard suspension and seeing if it still makes the noise??
surely if it's scrubbing, there would be scrub marks?? and odd wear on hte...
My thoughts exactly lol,
however, im not loving the departure time, will mean getting up around half 4! :(
I think simon1 needs to be taken off, just seen his tickets for sale :(
