(for the millionth time) it wont slow it down that noticably
Its just us 1.2 boys that arent scared about putting big wheels on our cars!!!!!
If you go for some lightweight wheels such as the Speedline Turini (same as cup) in 17inch
or the Oz Superleggera (your not alowed to get the...
Yes they are a straight swap, and im doing it on saturday!!!!!!!
Heres a clue as to what im doing to my engine, it consists of two parts Nitrogen and one part Oxygen??????
Ignore the offset on the std wheels, if you want to run 17s (regardless of whether its a 172 or not) get your 17s in ET34-ET40
My 17s were off a 172 and theyre ET37
172s wider track has nothing to do with the ET of the wheel
Yeah i know, im not after handling, i just want it to scrape the floor like the old F1 cars!!!!
(Rob, it may only be a 1.2, but when your gonna do what im gonna do to it, itll be keeping up with VTSs)
Not entirely sure, im hoping 85mm+ but ive e-mailed them and they said that the rears are heiight adjustable (no mention about how low) as well as the front!!!! (the only coilover other than Bilstein to do this) K-tecs arent rear height adjustable!!!
Im also trying to get my hands on the clio...
Oh yeah the FK coilovers are another option im looking into but money is my main problem!!!!!
My 17s are ET37 so they stick out more than the std 15s
As for the old insurance, well ahem!!!!!!;)
Mines been done, the sides slide off, but to get a half decent colour match i would sugest you get the bumpers colour coded with the plastic bits still on
You probably could get more than that for less ££££ but it would go KABOOM!!!! BBs stuff is said to be bullet proof, not just "lets wack a turbo on it and pray!"
If you have a look at the parts list you get for £7500 youll see what i mean
Its true it did run a 14.5, i was there at USC and saw it, i thought it was a bit quick!!!! Its defo the same car, as my mates were at the Power Engineering RR day (theyre the three lads in the centre of the picture on page 95 ben is the one with the tan jacket on with hands in pockets, then...
Pi dont do shocks for the 60mm springs
Apex only do shocks for their 40mm springs (non adjustable)
Spax have just brought out 40-60mm coilovers for £549
Koni do adjustable shocks for £89 front and £75 rear (each + top adjustable) im planning on getting these
Cos i saw the cable going from your pedal, through your bulkhead, into your engine bay at Brands Hatch!!!!!! Mine just has a box of electrics at the top of it, no cable!!!!
My mate has just put a T3 turbo and "special spec" cam in his (done by a lad whos 5 is in this months Redline with 231bhp!!!!!) except the bloody carb is playing up and the car aint starting, bugger!!!!!!
I hope you mean the pics, and not my car!!!!!! Those pics are (left) 60mm Pi springs but not bedded in taken about 10mins after id fitted them!!! (right) is 40mm Apex springs, but these were fully bedded in (taken 2months after id fitted them)
Rob, those wheels are 17inch, so yeah you can...
Got a bit of an update for you all, i went to the dealer yesterday and they reckon its just condensation, but to be on the safe side i rang up Renault UK and reported it to the customer services department on 01923 895 000 so can you all ring up and report it, so hopefully if enough of us...
I put slick 50 in ages ago, have changed the oil since. i took it too my dearlship earlier, and he reckons its just condensation, im not 100% convinced although the car doesnt seem to be leaking oil, or to be down on performance, ill wait to the RR day and see what i get!!!!!
Solihull in Birmingham junc 4 M42, try another dealer first, you never know!!!! Just dont leave the log book in the car, and make sure there are no french stickers from the dealership on the windows (Solihull hasnt got a Bodyshop, but the one in Birmingham has)
