Nice one Rob, ATR looks immaculate. I've driven the Ullapool to Durness bit and onwards to Tongue, Thurso etc. The scenery from Ullapool upwards is lke nothing I'd ever seen before.
Re: RenaultSport Clios - great on the right road, rubbish the rest of the time. Discu
some are dogs, I've had 2 good uns.
Research before you buy and buy one with known history and I'm not just talking paperwork.
took it out some back roads, its solid very nice feel on turn in, no real bodyroll (even with 400kg of people last night it handled lol).
Damping is too hard though, need to experiment!
lol ever heard of a stud extractor?
I had to use a blow torch a chisel and a BFH on my Pug.
I think I'll get some decent locking nuts for the 172 actually as the oem ones are s**t, 182 one was much more substantial.
tracking done, he's recommended I get camber bolts as its at -2deg camber for now.
Toe was way out with the new suspension with total toe @ 1 deg 37min but is now -0deg 12min
Feels a lot better, track rod ends have slight play and advised to replace in next 6 months.
Do you have yellow shocks? If so they should have removable white adjuster knobs which locate in the middle on the inside of the boot and you turn clockwise / anti clockwise as required.
I bought the springs and shocks 2nd hand, would have been a fortune had I bought it brand spanking new.
I paid £210 for the Koni's off ebay (inc postage) came from a performance parts fitter with a vat receipt etc, had fitted to a customers car and the customer didn't like the ride! Apparently...
I only went for these because I reckon the quality will be far better than Vmax and they're plenty low enough for my liking.
Good reviews from Yozza from way back, they're too harsh just now so I need to get a damping adjuster knob to play with.
Cup spolier I see yes but would have to get one painted, CBA
Not looking for an advantage with the tyres other than rim protection and they don't look like they've been stretched to fit!
PMSL couldn't resist.
Next is a setup (alignment) at Pro Grip in Bonnybridge tomorrow, will refurb the wheels and fit 205 45 16s at some point as 195s are gash.
Splitter doesn't bother me, will prob need discs at some point so will fit my braided lines and new discs and pads.
Going for...
