I have 16" ultras and it scrapes the rear arches. I have no spacers but the 595 rs-r are slightly wider than other tyres and they do scrape a little. couldn't imagine how you could get 10 mm spacers on the rear with any 205 tyre without it rubbing

something like this

I got bored on bright silver :( , I think I'm gonna do them gun metal grey

I'm taking the wheels to the paintshop later today, I have a final dilemma between matte black (renault F1 ultraleggeras) and cup pack grey. I love the black option, seen a iceberg silver 182 ad it looked great with them. However on arctic blue the grey option would look nicer I guess.. What do...

was thinking about that too, mirrors may be too much ;) thx!

Hi guys, As spring is about to come I was thinking of painting my wheels and the mirrors in the cup pack grey (anthracite). I have 16" ultras at the moment, here's a pic bellow: So what do you think? should I? (mirrors plus rims) One mirror cap has some fine scratches and the wheels also Thanks!

Well I don't know if solving a problem that no one ever knew about is that great but yeah, the dedication part to solve something must be a good thing :)) Have to work though on developing obsessions lol :D

just buy this bosch set: part number 3 397 001 769 if you search for this number you should find plenty of sources to buy

Ever since the aero blades came as a retrofit option I always had the impression that they don't look so good on older cars, that was mainly because it was obvious they weren't a factory fit. Plus the fact that they don't fit the screen very well as I'll show bellow. Anyway, I got an obsession...

Yeah I used to grease the threads but the problem is that grit and small debris are bashing on the shock rods and they eventually get small chips which allow for water and dirt getting inside because the seals can't do their job if the shaft is damaged. Seen this on my old coilies. The ones in...

Hi there, After ruining my first set of coilies I decided to take a better care of my new ones. They are GAZ GHA (yeah I know they have a bad rep but anyway) and they have no boot around the shocks. I can't find anywhere something suitable for them in the UK (they are the new design with rear...

I will take it apart once again to get some decent photos. And yes I'm not leaving my fork in that state :) But taking the coilovers off the car and sending them about 2000 miles away to get them refurbed by GAZ, then letting the car on stands for a month or more is not quite easy for me :)

Ever wondered how a f**ed up GAZ looks inside? I have a bikeshop (working on suspension forks raised some questions) and was dead curious how they are so after receiving my new set of coilies I took one front shock apart to see what's inside and found ... disaster! Have to say that they gave up...

Yes when resting they are ok. But there is a small gap left untouched at the bottom of the screen. to some people that is annoying :D, hence the 22/21 possibility

Yep I have some local suppliers, problem is that I have no idea what kind of bearing I need. I took the mounts off and couldn't see a bearing code or someth. Pulling the bearing out and measuring it looks like the only way to do this

I have these on my car for 6 years now and one of them has some play in the bearing. Their service kit is a little of my budget now considering that I'll also have to pay for transport to my country (around 40 quid) which will make the whole deal cost me like 110 quid. (too much for a bearing)...

I wouldn't say the car in the pics is more than 40mm lower. mine is about 25-30mm lower (measured from the ground to the subframe before and after) and it rubbs like hell when hard cornering (on hairpins mostly). I wouldn't even think of going lower than this, the shocks would remain out of...

I have the same kit and it came with 275lbs front amd 250lbs rear, so you could start adding some percentage to these values. I would uprate the dampers also, give GAZ a call

probably they're faulty as many members had no problem with them. I would try to put something under to get them at an angle and spray properly.

Yeah I know but I'm gonna do it still ;)

Had a read of this thread one more time today and was thinking of another upgrade, this time more expensive but anyway: from the following vehicles: Mercedes Vito, Sprinter VW LT You can get the windscreen jets that are mounted to the wiper arms. I've been in a short ride the other dar in a Vito...

Hi there, I will post some useful info here which might help others to get new wipers I've been looking these days in the bosch catalogues for wipers for me and some friends and came up with this: For the clio Mk II the standard fitment is 21" both sides (for UK cars-RHD) and 21"/18" for LHD...

18 and 21" are for LHD cars which have different wiper arms, wiper linkage and motor! for you guys in the UK they are both 21" on the front

Hi there, What discs are those 300 mm ones that you have and how much do they cost? Apart from the calipers and the pure spacers what else do you need for this conversion? And how's the braking performance after, is it worth it? Thanks!

Thx mate!

Hi there, Looking to get the B14 suspension on my clio, but since the money's short right now I'd buy the rear b14 dampers only (as my current gaz ones are gone) and as soon as possible the whole kit. Couldn't find the part number for the rear B14 dampers so wondered if someone can help so I can...

A friend bought a set of Mahle piston rings for his ph1, do they need any kid of modification when installing? the producer says they do but we're not that sure

have this problem with mine also. I already checked the drains under the scuttle panel, also removed the wheel arch and cleaned all the gunk. Anywhere else I should check?

well that's a lucky for you but generally speaking this conversion should cost something

at the end of the conversion, how much will this all cost?
