Mmm
Goin with an E39, same as in my pic :)

& Willsam I want a proper car mate ;) haha
 
It might not be proper but they're quick for what they are, everybody seems to be getting old as f**k cars for some reason, don't get it me.
Nah they are cool tbf, but I prefer older cars :)

Sayin that an e39 isnt exactly old though, same generation as a mk2 clio tbf

Interesting .... Haha

Some old cars are amazing, esp bimmers, but then some are so gross and their newer models are much nicer Haha

Think its a mixed bag with old cars, plus you gotta sum up their cost, mpg, and even work needing to be done

my mate went from a seat arosa to a e30, I'm not much of an old car lover but it does look decent.

Yeah but the work is part of the fun haha ;)
 
Suppose I could update the thread
This will prob be the last update as I'm now off to uni so the Clio will be at home haha

Managed to fix the rubbing at the rear. Arch roll, camber shims and an extra washer to push them out that little bit more

Got a k&n pod filter to make it louder

I love the colour of the car, shame they didn't do a bigger engined non sport, so next upgrade will be to an inferno hopefully haha

Follow me on IG bennhiggs

Cars looking good! Love the rear camber.

If you don't mind me asking, what size of camber shims do you have and how did you fit them. I have a set of 1.5 degree shims but no idea how to fit them and don't really want to just jump in and start breaking things.

Thanks man

Rear camber is piss easy, don't even need to drop the suspension,

Its an m12 bolt, like a torx head, got mine from halfords for a few quid and then where your suspension strut is, the bolts are behind there, undo them, don't drop the hub, slot them in and voila

And I'm running 1.5shims and then a 1mm washer on the bottom bolts too

Cheers for the info mate. Might give it a bash at the weekend and see how it goes. All i have is spacers and shims so ill see what a difference it does. I have a slight roll on my arches and its helped a lot already but somewhere halfway round the arch theirs a bit of metal like a knuckle that just wont flatten.

So is it like a sort of special socket i need to remove the bolt?

Do it, it's real easy, just remember to wd40 your bolts, but there shouldn't really be rust inside haha

I have a roll too, the guy at archenemy flattened that for me with a mallet haha

And yeah its an 12E torx socket (not m12, sorry got confused)

3.99 in halfords

Yeah haha thats all i done with the rest of the lip. Took the wheel off and just hammered it till it was flat all the way round. Seems to have done the trick though. Hardly rubs but its just that one bet that catches at times. Hopefully the camber shims will sort that out.


I think ill go to halfrauds tomorrow and get that socket though. Been wanting those shims fitted for a while now.

Is it just one bolt that needs removed or all four?

You'll need to remove all 4 hub bolts to fit the shim in as it has to sit through the bolts, so I would take them all out, hold the hub up to where it was and put the top 2 bolts through the axel, through the shim and then into the back of the hub :) and then the bottom ones should slide in haha
 
ok yeh, this thread has gone ignored for too long
cant really remember when i stopped updating this but was a while ago now

Since i last updated ive done a fair bit, given her a good service, runs a lot cleaner now and seems a bit nippier :)

  Corolla T-Sport
How much did the roof wrap set you back mate? Also how easy is it and did you get any creases around the aerial or anything?
 
  Corolla T-Sport
£25 on ebay mate haha

and nope i took them all off, sunroof out and replaced the aerial with a sharkfin one anyway
i did get a huge crease at the front which i had to cut out tho so i need to hide it somehow haha

Decent, have been tempted to give it a go a number of times tbf

Still got new rear abs sensors to go on, a bit of camber and to align the rear nearside hub so that it drives straight ..
 
If you've swapped the rear beam, why does it still not drive straight / toe all over the place?

Interest you in a set of 1*2 side skirts?
because, if you look at the alignment printout, the rear is out by about .3 deg, so i have to correct that, i assume the car the beam came off wasnt perfect.
Doesnt drive straight because of the rear thrust angle, so i have to counteract that with the steering wheel atm, since the fronts are now perfectly aligned.

and i would be interested if i had sport wings on, only have the front bumper that was modded to fit n/s wings, but thanks anyway mate
