Do you mean you need tips when lowering it yourself :S? If so I would say get some spring compressors if you don't like taking risks. Sam

^^^ What I was thinking!

I would go with 15 tbh. Tyres are cheaper, ride is better and IMO look better in this wheel design. I think this is going to be the new turini. Sam

What did they girls say? Just a really annoying girly giggle yeah? Sam

Ok I gave it a try... and it was not having any of it! The outside part of the inside tyre left the floor but I couldn't get the inside part of the tyre off the ground. Oh well I will have to give it another go when I find a corner with more camber. Sam

Yeah it was Cat C and I know the passenger side seat has been foam filled and stitched. I did ask him if the airbags had gone off and he said they hadn't. The airbag module is deffo kaput as IIRC it isn't even connected! The pretensioner on the nearside has also fired. Thanks for your...

Sorry to hear this matey. Hope yo got it all sorted! Sam

Fred - can you explain the role the ARB plays in making a clio tripod? I am sure a tighter anti roll bar helps, but it appears others disagree. Sam

^^ haha :quiet: :rolleyes:

Keep the existing one in. Looks much nicer anyway IMO. Sam

lol Dave I am sure you must tripod a fair bit? I had you down as a bit of a mental driver? Sam

This is one weiiiird thread.

Ditz - Dave is correct and as are you. I just am interested to see if it can happen. What else is there to do on a bank holiday Monday in the day?

^^ Ideally. I don't think it would count as a succesful execution if this did not happen. Sam

I disagree people. 1.2 16v's feel faster in all situations IMO. Sam

Yeah you could watch your news for a crash :S Why not? I like driving and I am just interested to see if I can get the car to tripod. Sam

Ok I will give it a crack. Watch this space for vids... Cheers Sam

IIRC it is the anti roll bar tightening that pulls the outside rear wheel up in the air. I am going to give it a go. What angle/speed corner does it do it best on? Sam

I have just fitted 60mm Spax springs to mine. You can pick them up for about 50 second hand and aslong as you reasonably confident with cars you can fit them yourself. The handling is better and the ride isn't as hard as I was expecting. As for looks - it looks a million times better...

Where is Greenock? Sam

I thought all cars after 98 needed a drivers airbag? Sam

Budget? Sam

Agree with the above. Stay clear. Sam

People call different models different names. You really need to ask what year the kit will fit. 182s and 172s (those with bubble shaped headlights) have interchangable panels. Sam

I feel I can trust mine a fair bit. I don't do anymore than 20 miles when it flashes --- though. Sam

Yeah as Justin said. I wouldn't mind it being illegal :p Thought it might be illegal as it is essentially hiding from me the fact the airbags are blown and he didn't tell me this. (I did recognise this however when I purchased it). Thanks Sam

Where did you learn to PS? Very good skills. Sam

Is the above possible or is the ARB not thick enough on non-RS models? Will have 60mm lowering spings make it less likely to tripod? Thanks Sam

I agree with Clidge although I don't have an RS clio. I have a 1.2 dynamique and I have spax 60mm lowering springs. Body roll is greatly reduced and the car handles much better. Sam

Hello guys I am back, I cba with taking the PC apart tonight. Nope mine is a desktop Jamie - but yeah I would say a 747 sounds very similar! Sam
