I've got T1R's on my turinis, and spec 2's on my 15's.
Toyos are awesome for the money, not as good in the wet as the PE2's that come standard, but miles better in the dry.
On a dry day I would pick the Paradas all the time, but all round the T1R is a better tyre for daily use.
Only joking mate, done plenty of them, did a clio this afternoon infact!
Lowered all of my cars etc, easy job.
Just drop me a pm :)
I wish I bought a blue one.......or orange, or black, or yellow.....
Russ, I've got Spec 2's on the Enkeis, in the wet if you turn fast you will loose grip, but if you take it smooth they are fine.
Although coming up to summer in the next few months I would 100% get them. In the dry they are amazing.
And if you drive properly (;)) then they will be done by...
the fronts may look different, but you do the same thing, assemble with original bearings and put them in, exactly the same principle.
rears only differe from how the rear adjutment platforms fit, but they are super simple to work out anyways as they will only go on one way.
Re: FAO Derbyshire Lot - Renault Sutton Park, Burton on Trent
Derby Renault suck bigtime, countless times they have tried to rip me off and fook up my cars, to the point i had to go in 5/6 times a week to get it sorted myself.
Got to the point where i could see several salesman/women hiding...
^ Well you wont need them, unless they are identical to what you take off and they are in better condition?
Do you know how to fit them, I can email you a quick guide i wrote for another member if you want?
You'll need to use everything on the front, top mounts and bearings. (basically everything that comes off thew top of the original shock above the spring plate).
The rear you need to use the priginal bearings/rubbers that should stay in place when you remove the shocks anyways, then just use...
Awesome!
Chassis was sorted by Lotus too so no slouch in the corners. I'd like one, but don't want a more grown up car, so my Clio will stay for a bit longer!
Should do if you aren't driving hard everywhere mate!
If you get chance have a look at the springs, will be at the bottom coil, if it is still seated on the nipple but just shorter should be ok for a few days.
Worst case I can do the rears in the dark easy enough, could do the fronts too...
Ali, what do you mean decent brakes? Got Brembo Max's, Redstuffs, AP fluid and braided lines, whats not good about that?
Engine cover has been removed as, in true Renault style, it vibrates like a b**ch and does my head in so just tookit off, problem solved!
No problems with the H&R's, just I had to lift it up slightly when going to 16's but its not right so gonna get it all done properly again.
Yeah Matt sure, if you get here in the next 4 minutes you can take them....;)
Had it once, bloke in an RS6 avant when filling up told me the car was nice!
Spoke to him for a second and he had a ph1 172 track car as a weekend toy, nice bloke.
Other than that no-one really looks twice at mine.
No, says it cannot have a system louder than a car with a standard silencer in avergae condition.
And also cannot have an exhaust for the purpose of making the car louder.
^ I've got a few friendly people, but comments made on this other forum say that the 5-0 could screw you over for having an exhaust on, but seems stupid to me?
Just beenr eading this on another forum, apparently all aftermarket exhaust systems will be seen as 'illegal' soon. Anyone heard similar?

Seems stupid, think of all the companies that would...
Finished work today and it looked nice and bright so thought stuff it, called at halfords for a new washmit and gave it a going over.
Did it twice, needs a good PC'ing at some point soon to make it come up that bit shinier but not too bad!
Went over it twice then just dried, gave it a quick...
^ Mine is as low as possible really, hopefully taking the front lower though somehow!
You just got a straight pipe welded in its place then?
Is it stupidly loud?! :D
