Yea, thats coilovers for ya.
I think I need to get some now, for the handling alone - everyone single person who has had them say the handling is LOADS better than any other setup theyve ever been in/driven.. time for me to treat my little Clio methinks.

Bit of a Trek for me...
On the donor thing, how likely is it to get a good donor for £500? Seems pretty cheap.. Ive seen R5s, tuned ones and rebuilt for about £1200.. Rebuilt ones for less than £1000 seem rare around here.
Cyborg is only 16.8 1/4 mile apparently..
Saw an ad tho for a Colt with an Evo Engine Conversion apparently - its been sold tho, so didnt get to see the details...
Well, if I was to do it, Id probably look out for a 5 which has been tuned and recently rebuilt.. heh.. save a lot of money Id guess..
Your middle dials do look impressive tho. I was thinking about getting the 16v ones, but they wouldnt work on my engine.. but what youve done looks proper smart.
Well, Id need it to be reliable.. but Id be going from a 50k engine with full electronic ignition etc.. to a possible 100k engine carb.. dont make sense, sure it does when I plant the throttle tho... :D
Seriously thinking about it tho..
Hmm, I was looking at Colts - really nice looking cars imo, but very underpowered... never seen a quick one..
This Cyborg.. mmm... a Quick Colt would be mint imo!
I did a search for Valvers on AutoTrader, and there were a few under £1700, mainly Phase 1s tho!
Phase 1/2.. dunno, they both have different things - side strips, I prefer Phase2, but you can put them on the Phase1 anyway!
Personal choice, but for £1700, Id guess itd probably be a...
You have 4 springs, Spring kits for the Mk2 Clio are usuall about £85 - £90 brand new...
Someone is selling some -60mm springs tho in the For Sale forum, dunno if theyd fit!
Weight I think used to have Konis - He thought they rocked too.
They would probably be the ones Id get.. if I wanted to spend what you do - £250 is a good price.
Koni are quite good apparently..
GAZ seem to be ok.
Have you looked at Avo? When I was looking at Coilovers, I was looking at Avo and GAZ.. think Avo do some very good stuff.
