have to say the same as everyone else, you need to go a lot lower then 60mm to pull off the euro look,
it will be coilies or airbags for you!
do you want to go for the simple lowered to the floor on a nice set of wheels look??
theres my old baby. wouldnt have really called it euro though.
Upon acceleration, car is fine,
When letting off and coasting, the car seems to feel unstable, like it wants to jump into the nearest ditch, pulling all over the road in different directions.
When hard braking it is even worse, have to really be on the ball if you break hard as it can pull...
Sorry if im being a n00b for asking,
but i can't be bothered to sift through all the posts!
What time is the actual meet??
last time i checked it was down the seafront, but couldnt find an exact time.
Also, ROB. do you will want that gearstick gator that i couldnt find for the last meet...
you may still have to remove the rear weather guards tbh,
i had to on mine when it wasnt lowered at all, that was only with 3 people in the back,
remove the guards (takes 5 minutes) and there is all the room in the world!
rip the arces out, and you can get the rear very low,
the fronts i had lowered about 80-90mm, but it was rubbing rather a lot on the inner wing.
at the end of the day, you have two options.
springs or coilovers,
coilovers you can just keep lowering it further and further until you find...
ive said it before,
the stance is rediculous and stupidly low
and thats why i fecking love it mate!
reminds me of my old 1.2, get it on the floor and the car will be remembered,
people around my area know my car more than me!
however, if you ARE a learner, loose the L plates
if youre NOT...
Wire tucked?? please elaborate!
im confused,
do you want to keep it original??
or modded??
surely charging it would loose a lot of the originality anyways?
the CS band wagon is terrible sometimes,
all he said was jumps out when planting it,
and everyones assumed that he:
sits in mcdon carparks,
wheelspins EVERYWHERE
and drives everywhere foot to the floor!
is a chav that races everyone on the road.
for all you know, he could have been the...
welcome,
always great to see the essex members
as for lowering youve got 2 options
springs
coilovers
easiest thing to ask is how low you want to go,
to the floor = coilovers
60mm or so id say go with APEX
40/30mm go with eibach.
i wouldnt bother chasing power from a 1.2, just make it...
Car will be fine for,
then all of a sudden it will feel very limp and then the back back to normal a second later.
If it happens in first or second gear, you go kangarooing (SP) off down the road,
basically it seems the engine is not firing on either one or two cylinders for a few seconds...
ahh sorry, was wrong about the valver power, never really got into them, i went straight for the F7R, and the difference is massive,
a much better starting point for tuning imo,
but its your car, look forward to seeing how the power mods go!
looks good mate,
if you need some inspiriation looks up f0xy or whiteley.
also instead of supercharging, consider getting an F7R engine instead,
theyre a straight fit and youll get 150hbp instead of 120.
can do it all for about £500
go for 4 points! theyre much better!!
on the other hand, i might have some 3points coming up for sale soon,
one is a TRS 3point, in red,
amd the other is a 3" 4point OMP harnesses modded onto a single back 2" harness
but you could take the modded bit out and have a 4point straigh to a roll...
im completely redoing my interior, as the just threw in the interior from my previous clio, and picked the cage up cheap, i now was to make it look nice.
the buckets are getting binned for some black side mounted buckets,
i want to paint the entire interior (all the way up to the dash)
but...
fook me! dig up a old thread why dont you! lol
many more mods came to this car,
http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?518115-because-it-IS-drivable!-(lowness)&highlight=
then it died august 2010,
it will be missed!
thats terrible, there's some sick people out there!
hope you get it sorted without too much hastle??
have you made any enemies lately???
and how can you be sure it was torched?? they can go up in flames due to faulty wiring and such!
Rokkor do cheap coilovers, search them on ebay, so long as youre running 58mm bolt spacing!
theyre still budget stuff, but you get what you pay for!
lowering 60 Mega meters is a hell of a long way!
bad advert for non branded gear?? id steer clear,
if you have to go for springs, go for...
if youre going to get deep dish wheels,
id suggest dropping a lot more than 60mm lol
you can drop it a fair way on 17s, i think i dropped mine around 80mm all round,
i did get a fair bit of rubbing on full lock though lol
