Nah mate you see Ive already dropped the front 55mm on standard shocks but mine are weird in that the gap between the hub bolt holes is more like 60mm.
I actually bought gmax 54mm struts but they didnt fit, which is why I am wondering if the 16v/Rsi had a wider bolt hole distance.
Cheers...
Can somebody please tell me all or any of the differences between a 16v/willy front shock absorber and that found on a 1.4 RT etc
Basically I have a 1.4S which seems to have a strange hub bolt distance and I cant find aftermarket shocks to fit. I was wondering if 16v shocks would go on.
Cheers
I was thinking a while back about whether the 1.6 inlet manifold would fit on the 1.4 engine. If so it might prove a fairly straightforward route into converting the 1.4 to multipoint injection.
That said the ecu may prove a problem, as on my car it controls the immobiliser
by the way the 1.6 8v energy engine from the megane is multipoint injection, so the inlet manifold from the 1.4 would be useless, (though it would probably fit.)
Yeah I did the back myself absolute piece of piss took all of 40 mins!
Contact Weight, he did a guide on here a while back that was superb. Couldnt have done it without this.
Here take a look I have 55mm springs at the front and I lowered the back myself about 70mm I reckon. Wheels are 15s with 195/45/15 tyres
I agree with what Tim said, I have standard shocks and although told "they will knacker in no time" they have been okay (if a bit harsh) and I will change...
RoodRT I was wondering would you be interested in selling the 16v arches and also maybe the tailgate?
Email me mate cheers

Tool is very very easy.
Just an M10 nut and bolt through a 1/2" drive socket (think it was 27mm)
If you spray loads of wd40 into each end, drive around for a week and repeat they should come out no bother. Mine slid straight out.
I am getting a new backbox soon and am thinking of a twin exit job.
Just a bit worried about losing the spare wheel in case I get a flat. (not that I ever have but I would probably be temting fate)
Anyway convince me please ;)
I wouldnt take too much notice of their online quotes.
I nearly bought a Rover 620 Turbo a year ago (I know, I know)
Their quick quote was the cheapest Id had by £700 but when I rang them up they said "no way"
Suppose its going to vary for different people though eh?
I can understand that this whole thing looks a little unrealistic? I honestly cant believe the last 24 hours.
And I know I cant really prove it to you but then I dont really want to.
All I would say is that I have been a member of this club for a long time and I dont bullsh*t about stuff...
Firstly thank you to all the people who replied to my original post with messages of support, I havent really had a lot of that other than from my dad.
I just wanted to let you know what happened today after last nights events.
I got a phone call this morning from my gfriends dad saying...
mate I am glad nothing happened.
I guess you kind of know what its like when the red mist kicks in.
Makes you wonder if its best to just let them take it.
172man I understand what you are saying. I am a second Dan wado ryu and I guess thats part of the reason I feel guilty, because I have been taught discipline and self-control. Until tonight I felt karate was one of the best things that ever happened to me.
But I cant explain it, when I saw...
I am really trying not to think about it. Ive never been in any kind of trouble with the police before and they havent contacted me yet.
My gfriends dad said he thought this bloke might not go to the police, something about him being very scared about getting done. He said he thought he...
Thank you for all the supportive replies and I really mean that.
I tried to go to sleep earlier but it was no good. In the end I went to the pub with my mates and just tried to forget about it.
It was kind of working until my gfriend rang me about an hour ago. Apparently they took him to...
I am just worried now because the guy was a real mess.
I dont know if he deserved that, but at the time I just couldnt stop. Its a bit scary because if her dad hadnt been there who knows?
And also theres the fact that he may go to the police.
And all her familys opinion of me has...
