    Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/Wilwood/2118

    Iceberg 172 Cup :) As a few things will be happening soon, I thought best to stick everything in a single thread. I spent a little while sorting through flickr this morning and finding all the photos needed to diary the car to date; I started a thread a few months back which I planned to...

    Coilovers arrived

    They were collected this morning; should be back with me (with 54mm hole spacing) as quickly as Monday :)

    Coilovers arrived

    Having spoken directly to Gaz and a guy called Andy (who was very helpful and understanding in sorting it out) the front struts are being collected tomorrow and will be replaced with 54mm versions :D TBH, without this guys help, I doubt anything would have progressed at all! So top marks on the...

    Coilovers arrived

    Having spoken directly to someone at Gaz this morning, things are looking much more promising! The guy was very helpful and said it will be sorted :) I've just got in from work and they've left a message on answer phone, so I'll have to give them a ring back tomorrow from work as there's nobody...

    Coilovers arrived

    I'll have to see what Gaz say today, as when Mike from Corby motorsport spoke to them yesterday they told him both 172 cup and 182 cup use 60mm hole spacing. As they're built to order, as such, I think it would be difficult getting them to accept a return. I'm surprised the manufacturer (Gaz)...

    Coilovers arrived

    I've got their number, so will be giving them a call tomorrow :argue: I certainly didn't expect this when ordering; I was annoyed when they arrived with the incorrect hole spacing, but now they're claiming it's correct, it's becoming a bit of a nightmare TBQFH

    Coilovers arrived

    But they won't acknowledge that :dead:

    Coilovers arrived

    They're on the top; they supplied a key which sits on top and allows the adjustment :) Looks like I'll have to argue the point with Gaz tomorrow then; they're producing suspension for the cars, without ever making sure they fit?! Awesome :D

    Coilovers arrived

    Update on this; Mike from Corby motorsport has just phoned. Gaz have said they supplied the correct kit for a 172 cup! They've said that 172 cup and 182 cup share the 60mm hole spacing :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: They can change them to 54mm hole spacing, by swapping the casing, however...

    Quick clean and some photos (coiled 'berg)

    Really like that :cool:

    Coilovers arrived

    Oh cool, I'll have to check that then :)

    Mass Effect 2

    Yeah, I think it does; I'd done the Jack mission already and she was loyal, then after that she wasn't :dead:

    Mass Effect 2

    I took Miranda's side in that argument; now Jack don't speak to me :rasp: lol!
  14. oliver.james

    Coilovers arrived

    How much adjustability is there, does it allow it go from very soft to very hard? I think it states 42 points for the rear and I think 12 on the fronts?

    Clean 182.... ( carbon badge's)

    Looks very clean; love the shine you can get off of a black car :cool:

    Coilovers arrived

    Was a guy I spoke to this morning; he seemed very willing to help, etc :) I'm in no doubt it will be sorted by them Is it the GHA kit you're running? How are you finding it?

    Coilovers arrived

    lol I didn't think it would take long :rasp: :D
  18. oliver.james

    Coilovers arrived

    I'm assuming they acknowledged there's differences in hole spacing then? I can see from their website now that they list the same model code for a 172 cup as they do for a 182 cup (GHA366) which I'm assuming is the problem as they're not the same There's a different product code (GHA336)...

    Coilovers arrived

    I wasn't 100% on ordering them, seeing as they get mixed reviews on here. However, I had a Ford before my Clio, where they were rated highly, so thought I'd give them a go :) Just hoping it's sorted quickly, which I'm sure it will be :cool:
  20. oliver.james

    Coilovers arrived

    lol I'll give them a chance to sort it :) I've had a look through the corby motorsport application list too and I think that's where the issue has come from. It also contradicts what they said about all the suspension being the same too lol They list the same product code (GHA336) when looking...

    Coilovers arrived

    I'll be happy as long as it's sorted quickly and doesn't cost me. Just a little annoying, especially when I know I'm right :dead: £444 :)

    Coilovers arrived

    Yeah, they said all Clio Sport's have the same hole spacing lol! I'm assuming it must be Gaz's spec list that's incorrect, as reading through their fitment list they list the same product code for all Clio Sport's later than 2001. No way could I do 13 weeks; 3 weeks and 1 day was horrible...

    Coilovers arrived

    Corby motorsport; I've just spoken to them. I explained the fact that 172, 172 cup and 182's should have 54mm spacing, with the 182 cup having 60mm spacing...only to be told that all sport's have the same hole spacing :banghead: Stating again that 172 cup should have 54mm spacing and not the...

    Coilovers arrived

    After waiting 2/3 weeks, my coilovers arrived yesterday :D However, thought it sensible to check the hole spacing before doing anything with them. The kit was ordered for a 172 cup, but I've received 60mm spacing :( Going to make a call when they open this morning; I'm assuming...

    Speaker recommendations?

    During the installation of front components :rasp: That included running cables up and down the car for the amplifier and back to the crossovers, which are under the passenger seat, though! :D
