Hello all you fellow valver owners!
how much is yours lowered by, and what size wheels / tyres have you got fitted?
Have you had any problems with them at all?
Mine is lowered about 60mm on the front, and about the same on the back. It has got 195-45-15 tyres fitted, but am looking at...
have a look http://www.cliosport.net/styling/tyreguide.asphere mate.
iirc standards were 185-55-15 = 584.5mm Diameter
as Dean said, 195-45-16 are the closest, which are 581.9mm Diameter.
As they are slightly smaller, it will mean that your speedo will be telling you that you are travelling...
Thanks a lot for your help.
My dad decided to sell the subs I was on about, so I will be buying my install from scratch. Its probably the best way anyway.
Cheers!
Chris.
but Ive already got 2 subs in a box!
Is it dificult to set up 2 subs? please ignore my inexperience, but why?
Also, would I need a crossover & capacitor? what do they do?
Cheers!
Hello!
I dont really have much of a clue about ice at the moment!
I will be looking into fitting a basic install in the boot of my valver (2 Subs and an amp for subs and components) in the next few months, but am getting confused by all the numbers!
how are subs rated? you see a peak power...
Hello!
Someone on here had a number of valver decats for sale. I believe he manufactured them himself.
Are you out there? or does anyone know who it was? I think Ill be looking for one soon!
Cheers!
Chris.
Alex M, I ran a search, and found the post that you are on about. but the pic wouldnt load up.
Is there any chance you could post the pic again please?
Cheers!
Chris.
Im in need of one.
There is one on ebay at the mo, but its at £13 ish.
Can I still buy this new, and how much are they?
Or would it be best to make one? out of flame retardent stuff? or wrap the manifold?
Cheers!
Chris.
yeah, I guess. but now its out I wanna do something to it before I put it back in!
and If I paint the block after Ive cleaned it, this would give better protection than just some gunky stuff wouldnt it?

Hello Everyone!
Whilst my valver engine is out of the car, was just wondering what I should clean on it?
I am going to degrease the block etc with gunk, but what else shal I clean? and what should I use?
What should I use on the Inlet manifold and Rocker cover thing?
Cheers!
Chris.
CHR15G (Great Name) and Dogmaul,
Cheers for putting me straight about Turbos / superchargers.
You learn something new everyday! Except Everytime I learn something new, it pushes old stuff out of my brain :confused:
Thanks Ben, I have now got an engine to put in, collected it last saturday.
I bought it from one of the people called Chris on here. (There are LOADS of Chris on here! what is that all about!;))
Just looking into making it last as long as I can now. dont wanna have to take the thing out...

Interesting!
The Williams definitely has a wider track, as you probably know. (It has a different Anti-Roll Bar, different bottom supsension arms, and possibly different hubs.) so I dont know about the wheels.
As far as I know, the rear beam is identical on both? so if the wheels were...
Cheers Craig, very useful info there!
One thing though, dont Superchargers suck air accross the head, rather than compressing it and forcing it accross?
I thought this was the case, as this would explain why Superchargers (generally) give a smaller power increase than a turbo. Because there...
