I need the bolt that connects the hub to the ball joint,
i rounded both off when fitting new hubs so i stole them off my spare clio,
but not i want the spare one working so i need to get them.
Where is the best place to get them from??
do places such as autocare and euro sell the bolts on...
Thanks guy, and yes they are fake splits, but im student and cant justify spending so much on wheels,
if i had the money.... Id just buy a ph1 172
but please can we not turn this into a debate between fake and real splits!
Thanks once again
why not replace them with dual optics?? headlights off a higher spec model
just get the ph2 set, dont bother smoking them, this forum wont like that much lol
please dont cut those 6x9 into the parcel shelf, makes it look so chavy
colour coded dynamic spoiler, cup one if you want to splash...
does a body shop check structural integrity? im genuinly not sure lol.
if its just a run about to be as cheap as possible, why straighten all the pannel?
imho once fixed that car will not be worth much more than £1000 (considering the amount of filler it will have, and the fact that it has...
because they are rarely strcuturally sound after being rolled.
once a cars been crashed once, everything weekens
personally id only do this if there was at least a £500 saving to be made,
if hes getting the parts cheap enough to make a sizable saving, then good on him.
ahh didnt notice that lol,
means he has to do the repairs VERY cheap to break even!
if he is doing it for a hobby, then go for it, could have picked a better car to restore, but who am i to judge.
its a waste of money but most hobbies are.
but if he is doing this to save...
if it genuinly saves money, (including the value youve put on your own time doing it)
then id support it
or even if it was a rare car being restored for a hobby,
but its a clio DCI, that has a lot of damage, and has been rolled!
seems like a waste of time and money imo
I dont doubt you skill at all, i doubt your sence.
You havn't said how much you bought the car for yet?? despite being asked,
so how much will the repairs cost?? perhaps around 1.5K for a half decent job including the painting.
so you will have paid 1.5K + however much you bought the car...
im not sure if the distance between the plates on the shock are different though,
i dont think you can machine them away because not only are the bolts further apart on the 58mm ones, the part that the shock bolts too is wider.
can usually pick up hubs for around £20 each, but look hard...
seems silly to have such a power house,
and lower it on streched tyres??
surely it would perform better if the suspension and wheels were set up properly??
What are the chances people leave without me?? No satnav and no hope!! If anyone reads this before you go, dont leave without the lowered blue clio!! Or call mw on 07758743279, thanks
why the hell is your sticker backward??
if i didnt have to go to bed,
and wasnt abit drunk
id post a pic of my polishing efforts lol!
see this tomorrow!
hats off to you if you get it done pal! would offer a hand if i lived anywhere near you,
but ill just lay in till about 1, give her a quick clean then go to bed ready for the morning :D
hmm, i may have to make a CD for the drive lol.
hows the work going?? coming along i hope??
im ready apart from cleaning, and im not sure to what extent to do it :(.
Some nice grey clouds mean the SRP may stay in the bottle.
the problem is, when you lower them so far, you cant drive them nearly as hard.
it would be completely pointless having a 2.0L engine in mine because you can so rarely open it up!
Also with a non-sport (especailly 1.2) there is no point chasing performance mods, just a waste of money, so...
ooh didnt pay much attenetion to the second pic,
yes, you could well run it like that,
cut the red wire back to the blue,
and the black wire back to the silver
it will still heat up, because that looks like 8 awg
but shouldnt be to too of a dangerous level.
running that wire is possible,
however, the sub will cut out the second the voltage drops below a certain point,
which with such small wire, will be very often because the amp is so juicy.
if it doesnt cut out, it will create a large armount of heat, and you will risk a fire.
it will most...
you need to run a bigger power cable than that!!
youll need a multi meter to find out what wires what, usually, red is power, and goes to the battery,
black is earth and goes to the isofix bar mounting bolt, and a blue (pink in your case by the looks of things) one that goes to the headunit...
