Yea. Make sure you get hubcentric spacers for safety. And not any old universal ones. Although the smallest these come in is 13mm each side iirc.
Then just get longer wheel bolts from the likes of demon tweaks / euro performance.
Vmaxx are the only ones to go for in that price bracket.
Only ones properly designed for cups, not just the same as non cups with the bolt holes moved, which reduces proper camber movement.
Ren7oaks in Kent are charging me £275 for cambelt and aux belt alone. Waterpump is another £100 or so on our 1.2 16v
Why are all the good garages so far away :(
Yea they do need to be working.
Fuse box is on the passenger side end of the dash. Open the door and pop the cover off.
It could be a faulty connection which is quite common. Remove the rear lights, unplug connectors, clean them with WD40 and a toothbrush or something.
See if that helps.
Yea I updated the .rst file before doing the .cal file.
Although I guess I rarely plant my foot when driving around, so can't really remember what it was like before lol.
So take no notice of me ha.
I haven't noticed difference too much tbh. Apart from higher idle and no more lumpy cold start.
But then I probably don't/didn't drive it properly before/after to notice the differences.
I would get Eibach Sportline Springs on that mate. Would sit perfect. Sportline's lower slightly more on non sports than sports from what I've seen.
Clean example though!
Utterly unreal. Bit of a weird car to do it on. But amazing skill/knowledge.
One thing, once a car has had this done once, obviously with the low paint readings, is there a limit as to the number of times it can be worked on again, if it gets in bad condition again? You can't just keep doing it...
Yep. I did when I had coilovers on my non sport and on standard alloys. Tyre rubbed on the adjustor rings on the front coilovers.
I think a few others have had similar issues too.
That's a cm shorter! I need to get out and measure mine. Such an effort though. If mine's really shorter I think I'm gonna contact Ktec.
Erm can't really remember. Don't think it was too hard. All to with the the angle you hold the decat onto the manifold at, plus its quite a fiddle on axle stands!
Lool at the last Clio! I wouldn't have the guts to turn up in that! How was he recieved?
Adidas RB is quite cool I think! Would look better if the wheels were silver with the Adidas emblem though. Standard wheels don't really suit white imo.
Lot of horror stories about Gaz's. But I don't think they're meant to be aimed as a true budget coilover. More a midrange.
But don't have a very good rep on here!
Spax would seem to be a good bet for cup packed cars. Dam the 60mm spacing!
Yea that is true.
Mine was one of the dodgy ones, as I had to grind the end off.
I basically removed it from the car, with the lambda still screwed in. Then clamped it in a work bench, and grinded down the lip, till it was flush with the flange bit.
Then bolted it back onto the car, with a new...
You can buy a bung for the decat, then leave the post cat lambda connected, but bag it up and tie it out the way.
Or you can buy a lambda spacer, that screws onto the decat, and then the lambda screws onto that.
Clio's have two Lambda's. The post cat one is the one that turns on the EML, and...
