@Fletcher and @TimR26 can you ask whoever is admin on our text group to delete and re-add me please. I've got a new phone and it has cocked up the group messages meaning I can't send / receive one to the group. Please :)
I removed mine and got it powder coated black, along with other bits. Main reason was the boost hosing for the charger mounts up to it.
But as Gray said, can happily do away with it if not needed.
Thankfully not all mine. Although if I ever decide to go weird like the rest of you lot and start collecting them I know I can get 6 on the drive and one in the garage :)
I'm not sure on a Renault 1.4 but I thought some people with 1.4 k-series turbo'd them to around 200-220bhp? Was a lot of money thought, i.e. £10k.....
On a lower budget, 150-160 on a 1.4 k series was achievable.
I use J-Tech for all my suspension and body work on mine, they are brilliant.
I ordered my AST's through them aswell. 3 weeks from order to fitted on the car :)
I know what you mean. It's weird. In some lights it really shows up lighter. In others it looks ok.
Probably painted before my time, I haven't had it painted! Lol! Up close its no show car, dents etc all over it. As long as it works mechanically, I'm not too fussed!
Thanks man.
It's got cup wishbones, roll centre kit giving it another 10mm either side, then 16mm spacers to clear the brembos and et36 on the Willys wheels. It's quite wide. It rubbed on the bilsteins but the spring rate on the ASTs means it was fine at Anglesey :)
Next time I'm there I'd be looking at cranking that up. First time with the mods and at Anglesey I was going a little "gingerly" it's fair to say. Fun either way :)
