Look at a longacre rear view mirror, it's perfect for winged seats. I'm just tall enough to peer over the winged bits, so I can see blind spots...

Mine has just passed its MOT, with winged seats bolted to custom subframes.

Yeah I've had a bit of a pain with it all, but it's sorted now. Coupled with a s**t bias valve, dodgy compensator valve and me being used to braking with abs - and not having to use to your foot as abs. Other than that it's sorted I believe. I've got no warning lights from my conversion, I'm...

Yeah absolutely fair enough if they were 2nd hand :)

I think that the general consensus with the BCs and the coilovers you spec'd is that people complain that they can't get high enough spring rates for them (but haven't looked much into it tbh) The rear coilover unit work on a 2:1 motion ratio - I'm confusing myself a little bit in my head...

Gaz GHAs can run springs up to F:500R650. Which is very good for a £500 coilover. It's really hard to judge spring rates unfortunately as it's preference, in general I think clios respond well to a stiffer rear end, but that's down to me preferring a sharper turn in and having to deal with a...

What made you go for b14s mate?!

I agree with this! Spring rates, alignment and sort out roll centre is where money should be spent. Although saying that I can't talk, I conformed and bought a set of ASTs... [emoji48]

Took the misses out for spin today, it followed with "can I drive it" ... "Sorry love seating position is bolted in, can't change it" Just love being in it, went out on the direzzas and the car felt so much stable, you can definitely feel the sidewall flex on the toyos (some ditchfinders)...

Ahhh ok, hope it wasn't expensive!

Yeah very cool, what work did you have done today?

Yeah, see if he had dealt with anything similar for the breaking problem... and was just getting a price on some alignment,, I might pop in and have a look at there m3 it looks awesome!

Nah you just didn't do it right. .

What's the measured in degrees? Surely you'll see 3 degrees of toe in? it looks straight... The offside rear is also bent so that might upset things a little...?

I don't know I don't have my go pro anymore to check! will have to get a mate alongside me... It feels like both wheels are locking. well had a cheap alignment done 0.50 and 3.30 is toe on the rear... The axle is not straight...

Im not no, i think the cylinder size was wrong, which i completely underestimated... when i came to bleed the brakes the handbrake would be solid, and the rear brakes would not retract... So its still in the car but not plumbed in, as I'm to lazy to remove haha. Angle grinder accuracy, its not...

Just a heads up I can supply GAZ golds direct from gaz for £750 inc custom spring rates and delivery :)

Right, so still none the wiser with what's going on with the rear bias... The car is pulling 14kg on the rear on MOT rollers... so the braking effort is reduced enough, for me to move the rear wheels with my hands when someone is stamping on the brakes. It's not the handbrake cables snagging...

Any Engineering type shop should have the machines to be able to do it, just make sure you get across to them what you actually want and they understand.

Really sorry to bring this up from far far ago, but did you have any luck sorting this?

Yup, recently had a group buy with their comp tailgate :)

Chris @ CMComposites does them for a pretty good price.

You f**king bellend! haha

Maybe not...

Sooo ***** Brake update ***** So after installing the AP racing bias valve and having no success with that, I really really questioned why I was building this car, and questioned WTF was going wrong. So I had a chat with my local Newbury specialists Andy Reid, and he said to not use the...

LOL

Yeah go smaller than what I've got then, as mines for working underneath too, and as you can see in the pic once it's up on stands I can't get the wood out

Yeah you can't really do anything safely on uneven pavement/gravel, Should of got marine ply though! as the ply won't last exposed to the weather all day.

Thanks bud Yeah I have bought 2 x 8by4 bits of plywood to go over the gravel :)

I got it from a longacre supplier :)
