We was having a look at his photos in his office. One of which his 3 clio cups that won the 2000/01 season. It's great to see, and all the winners reefs that go all around the workshop.
So much histroy in such a small place.
Yeah a few local guys use him that have renaults. He does a lot of servicing for people that aren't on here. A lot of his time is taken up with prepping the cooper works racers.
Was at Mr. Fish's gaff yesterday gettng my camber adjusted and this was there. It's been posted on here before but it's now got new goodies.
Ledas, cage, ONE seat (good man) and f**k all interior. Oh and big brakes. Nice.
Check out the camber on the fronts!
Talking of handling and quality of spring/dampers...you slam on the anchors from about a ton on the standard setup, then try the same with a good set of coilovers. Braking is much better through the corners too, the car stays in control and doesn't get as tail happy.
Apex won't lower a cup as much as a std 172/182, I tried it but it is the cheapest way to do the job. That's if you're just after looks.
Coilovers are a much better buy but I can only comment on H&R.
GAZ/FK are pretty stif from what I've heard and H&R are perfect for road. Then there's Bilstein and Leda which I have no knowledge of but are the top of the crop, especially for track use.
Honestly, you'd love the H&R's but they're about £720.
It'll feel dogshit if you use springs or coilies especially with the 17's on. Coilovers are the best route imo but you can probably get a good drop from a cheap set of Apex lowering springs.
Saying that, I find the damping on my H&R's better than the standard setup. All bumps soaked up much...
