Oh god, im sorry..
But yeah he's right.
My coilovers have no bumpstops- i took them out.
They have no adjustment left, no helper springs.
But wont go any lower.. which i need them to..
so i need the actual strut shortening?
basically.. better?
I have just had my car notched and i have coilovers, and they dont go low enough basically, theyre not running on any springs even though the springs are still in them, because they are as low down as they'll go and i need them shortened... Because they're not running on springs its the same...
Everyone is welcome,
23rd March 2013,
Cleethorpes- 6pm,
Derby- 8pm.
The majority of people will meet in Cleethorpes: Lincolnshire, and then we are convoying down to Derby Pride Park Stadium, this event is being organised by myself and a friend Charlotte, it's a college project and we will be...
Thanks sweet pea, will give you a feature when your car is up to standard ;)
nope not sorted the coilovers, gonna take some bits out this weekend with the boys, haha.
i am maybe getting 3sdms and they're 16x8 so s'all good!
Well my tyres are 165/50/15's - TINY. And well my tyres are £52 but...
But I don't care because it's too low and it rarely goes over 60mph, especially round corners, so camber and stupid stretch wouldn't effect me apart from the camber wear but at £37 a tyre.. I can cope with that :D
-2.5 degrees on the rear, -1.75 on the front.. But I don't have any photos of it since I cambered the front..
yeah alot of people forget what camber is actually for, purely for looks these days, shame it rinses tyres :(
Yep.. Well one's hydraulic fluid that's why it gets called juice :)
but juice is for cartons and bags are for groceries so.. Static is way cooler :D
even though I might be buying the Astra off him. Ha oops:p
They are AWFUL without badges, look like pigs! But they both sit so nicely,
The silver one belongs to a lad called Oktay Realest, but I imagine he did absolute Fckall to it and just let others do it because I asked him how he got it so low and he was like err my mate took out my helper...
Decent idea! Although I would have to find some damn strong magnets to hold my plate on because the ride is so harsh I reckon it'd just slide off!:/ and then is panic about it scratching my bumper!
But then they're Stuck to my bumper.. I don't want anything stuck on it that I cant just rip off.
Ergh my plate is staying where it is. Effort moving it :)
Yeah the plate makes me damn angry, it's so UGLY! But it's either make it look ugly or get fines and eventually points for not running one at all:/ I know what I'd rather, it's not like I want the car to look it's best just for driving to college and back anyways, :p
I'd just slap him round...
I have no idea what that'd look like, i was gonna put a smaller plate on but just an extra reason to pull me isn't it!
but as for it being too low down, a police officer is more likely to pull me with a plate in my window than where it is now, i highly doubt he'll whip out a ruler and measure it :p
If everyone is so concerned about my number plate.. Where am I gonna put it? As it is NOT going back where the recess is :)
oh and Batesy, them photos were Saturday night :)
And if anyone actually read my thread you will know I have skirts sat in my bedroom... They're just not on, because my sills are that fooked i cant put them on cause they don't sit properly.
i AM NOT putting my plate on my smoothed bumper.. Why the hell would I get it smoothed then put a plate...
I've had my lights polished up finally and I put my 25mm spacers on, so now it sits a bit better..
been having issues with the coilovers, they cannot physically go any lower no matter how short the springs are, there is no play left in the shocks.. so i've got to get either bigger wheels or...
I'm fully aware it's illegal, stupid police, don't see why cause it's still fully visible, ah well!
gonna tie wrap my plastic plates to my grille until show season then I won't run one at shows :)
Thanks Luke :)
hehe sorry ;)
Im not sure if you were checking if i knew the difference between hydros and air or something else, hydros knock and bang and sound like someone strangling some form of animal.. air sounds like a bus, has a noisy compressor and takes ages to refill itself and they both cost around...
Thanks :D
the Astra.. Is on Hydraulics, only one in the country as he reminds everyone. Pahah, r****d :)
yeah we were both there parked next to eachother next to a bloody massive tree, both got loads of abuse for being non vag!
Okay, here you go, no more until Saturday though!!! Still got bits to do,
Can't even see my tiny wheels in those huge arches, HUGE spacers and camber this weekend!
