Got the adjustable set up fitted, adjusts bound/rebound together, 12 clicks. Just after some info. What will be the effect on handling if I stiffen the front relative to the rear and vice versa?
Got the ast's fitted, immense. Still playing with settings, but so capable. On standard soft settings, ride is good and handling great. Would prefer a slightly sharper turn in, will be speaking to fitter on monday.
Various people on here have complained particularly about a harsh ride with gaz. Handling wise, plenty of options (H&R, KW, AST), if just for slamming I don't have a clue!! Think foxy's the person to ask about slammage.
Maybe. The awesome courtesy car I'm hooning about in. It has a switch that causes it to drift on command, most cars call it the brake pedal. Just brush the pedal, front end goes right, rear end goes left, steering weights up oddly.
This is how the big dog rolls:
I'm down your way fairly often, the rents live in malvern. Next week, I'll let you know which evening I'm over, if you're free we'll meet somewhere. Roads between malvern and tewkes are great (sure you know that!)
Hopefully! Bit of a leap of faith, never been in a car with them before, but the rear coilover+the adjustable dampers should be great (even better given the price!).
V/W is just the speed rating rusty, not the tyre quality. The 182 was set up using the pe2's. There is a big difference between tyres, go for the one's that people generally get on with (f1's, pe2's etc). Why skimp on tyres, they're the only thing keeping you on the road!
Of the tyres I've had (pe2's, f1 gsd3's, p zero, toyo t1r's), I prefer the f1's. P zero's aren't bad at all, far better than the toyo's (twitchy and poor progression)
Actually feels quite solid, apart from the brakes. Hit the brakes, wheel goes left, car goes right and the back end goes left! Amazing, the opposite happens when you come off the brakes, think it's set up for oval racing.
Having an overnight stay at powerstation, just waiting for the rear springs to come from eibach. I've been lent a 191000 miles m reg, faded mondeo estate, epic. Also, Nissan GTR looks fantastic in red, the new impreza doesn't have a good angle, and the litchfield type 25 is flipping awesome!
