Souped Clio versus FQ 340. In a standing start scenario the poor Clio will be wasted. How could it be any different? The poor wee b**ch does'nt have the traction. If I'd a had the cash I'd a bought the 340. I did'nt so had to settle for second best. lol

i will give you some idea what the spec of the GDI coiover kit
they are Leda strut castings
they are 24 peace adjustable adjustable with three options
1 oil filled
2 oil and gas filled
3 oil and gas with a remote gas canister
they are made to what the customer requires
where i will be using toyo R888 tyres as they are a very soft tyre they require a different valve setup than standard road tyres and slicks
they have got Eibach springs and are fully height adjustable
i hope this gives people a beter idea about them

Whats the service behind them if the only man thats building them and knows how to build them leaves and decides he wants nothing to do with them!!! Bit like leda themselves!!! Id be concerned :(

Andy will be making them he is having his bloke do mine as he is off on holiday
any decent suspension place will be able to service them

Most sensible thing you've wrote in a long time.
 
lol @ double team... anyone else spot the irony? I know Mark wont, but I mean anyone capable of blowing their own nose

My team mate isnt a backward numpty who cant spell.

Have you had a boost wiv any 400bhp scoobys tonight, innit.....

I just want to know one thing Mark... who's the pitcher and who's the catcher?

Wait, dont tell me, your handbag... sorry, manbag ;) says it all. Bless, you do make such a cute ickle couple. Does he sit on your knee when you're 'ragging it through the back roads'? ;)

(whoever gets the pun PM me and a pack of Smarties is on it's way)

You think so??? What happens if you need to replace something inside thats been custom made and they dont have the machinery to make that part etc etc!!!!!!

i remember there was a thread like this a little while ago.

why you would want to spend £1500+ for a set of coilovers on a road car, i don't know! FFS your not racing it, even for trackdays thats a bit excessive. Its not like you are looking for a 1/10th of a second to get it on pole position.

I bet those who do get the adjustable coilovers, haven't got the foggiest of how to set them up for the rebound and bump.

just get a set of springs which will lower the car and make it more stable and put the rest of the money towards a better car!

anyway thats my moan for this thread.

Exactly. Wonder how many people are going to buy these then 'slam' it down to the bumpstops :rolleyes:

well the internals are from one of the motor racing world's best known suspension companies so i would think that you can get them ;)

you know me and neal do know how to ajust them as you sore at donington neal and me was mighty fast ;) and when you are playing with the types of cars that we are then you are looking for every 1/10 th you can get ;)

lol, homer (sorry forgot your name), your a good bloke, but i think this is b****cks!

your not exactly doing a qualifying session and then a race. if you want to do stuff like this then i suggest you buy a race car and go racing, then those tenths will come in handy.

i know how to adjust them too, just turn the bloody rebound or bump valve! what it does though on the other hand, for better or worse, do you really think you can say to yourself that the car was much better through any particular corner. did it oversteer more or did it understeer more? was I faster or was i slower? THE ANSWER IS NO.

Reason: firstly your not consistent through each corner and every lap on a track day. secondly you do not have a lap timer/data logger (like i do) so you will never know!

no i don't have a data logger but then i don't want to know how well i was doing each time i go out my data logger is how fast Steve and Phil catch me in there BM and also how fast i am compered with other cars .
the way i will set up the car at each track will be by trial and error and when i have found a nice setting for me and the car at a track then i will make a note and remember it for next time .
 
*High five*

We might be struggling with the GDI team this bunch look hardcore.

Picture taken just before they go out and "have a boost wiv"(thats going to make me laugh for weeks) a few scoobys.
 
I just found a room full of people that think you are funny...

Have you or any of your mates called there with dodgy fake Scottish accents again recently too Mark?

f**king hell, this is like a playground....

Mark, pulling someone up on their spelling is pretty sad and boring. Does it really matter how they spell? No.

You do seem to find your way into every thread about GDI, you're bitter and I understand why but let sleeping dogs rest would you?

Jon- If I were you, I just wouldn't rise to the bait anymore...he knows you'll reply at the moment.
 
you are quite right fella. The only thing I'd like to know is if he did actually call GDI or got an Asian pal to call in using a dodgy fake accent, as I'm curious to know if he had the balls to do it... I'm leaning towards he asked someone else at the moment, as I dont think he has it in him.

LOL. NO!

I might wind you up on the forum about it but it is hardly something I would make prank calls about. I dont have any asian friends.......actually I dont have friends at all which is why I spend so much time on this forum ;).
 
hmm, odd... must have been someone else that called up on the same day asking the exact same question from a withheld number... lol

I just gave andy a call to see if he could fit a williams manifold to a 172 for me.

:S

Although we have the occasional banter on the forum I always thought it was tongue in cheek? This is more serious though IMO.

I would prefer to do this through the mods if thats OK with you?

Rumbled:lolup:

Rumbled about what?

Like I said I have reported this to the moderators I dont approve of being accused of something like this on a public forum. Maybe it would be better if you refrained from posting here aswell?

Maybe you'd be better off driving into a brick wall:rolleyes:

Maybe....

I like TheJesus better then you I think. At least he has some imagination. So TheDetailer (Is that something to do with cleaning cars?) why dont you like me? I am a nice guy once you get to know me.

Jon........i'd be careful if I was you. He likes you more than me:approve:

Jon knows my feelings towards him and neither of us have a problem with our sexuality.

How about you. Up for a threesome? We will break you in gently.

I will let you clean my car if you join in.

Mark, whether it was a joke tongue in cheek comment or not, that's a quote from my inbox... they are welcome to go check as I imagine they will if necessary. Fair enough if you say you didn't do it, but A) you told me you did. B) the very same day an Asian sounding fellow putting on a fake Scottish accent and calling from a withheld number phones the workshop asking the same question... Andy knew straight away it was BS. Phone record logged. and C) the mods are unlikely to get involved as they have never been interested before... which tbh I cant blame them for lol.

I've not directly accused you, I have simply asked and you have said you didn't. Fair enough, I wont go and call you a liar as you may be a bit of a c**k pump at times, but seem genuine in that respect. It must just be total coincidence.
