the plan



started on the wheels :

[trylivingmedia]

so its been a slow couple of weeks for the clio due to a lack of finance and an overwhelming amount of college work. however i finally got the wheel sorted out

 

[trylivingmedia]

update coilovers and wheels have been ordered

 

[nathan1993]

I can't tell from the pics but is it gold?

 

[trylivingmedia]

thats a slightly better indication of the colour

 

[nathan1993]

Ah okay mate, never seen that colour before. I liked the 172 you had on it mate ? You sold them?

 

[trylivingmedia]

na keeping them just now in case i wanna put it back to stock to sell at any time.

 

[nathan1993]

fair enough mate, what are your plans for it?

 

[-Danman-]

New wheels look nice

 

[trylivingmedia]

cheers man, well hopefully the coilovers will be arriving in the next couple days. plan on keeping it simple, get it super low and clean, thats it really, only a 1.2 so not much point going performance or track orientated.

 

[trylivingmedia]

so did a test fitment of the new wheels. love them


only thing is the bolts dont seem to fit :s anyone got any advice on sizes i need for these wheels, as the standard clio ones dont seem right

 

[trylivingmedia]

coilovers arrived yesterday!

also did a test fitting up front today and changed the side repeaters, definitelly dont need spacers! and apologies for the crap pictures i cant seem to get them bigger, any advice?

Make sure the standard bolt taper fits right (should be 60 degrees) on the wheels and then using the standard bolt, put it through the wheel and see how much thread you sticking out ( you want 15-20mm)

simples

 

[trylivingmedia]

thanks man, got a set of tuner bolts, all good now, just waiting till my MOT on friday then il get the coilies on after that

 

[trylivingmedia]

finally got the wheels and tyres sorted

 

[trylivingmedia]

did a test fit, will be much lower once i get the coilovers sorted out

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

lows!! I've always loved the XXR's

 

[trylivingmedia]

these are the AXE versions, think they are slightly thinner, didnt want to risk going too wide, i fitted the rears last night, will be fitting the front coilies tonight

 

[jesus]

Those wheels look great!

 

[trylivingmedia]

Finally got the coilovers on! will be going lower shortly

 

[trylivingmedia]

Those wheels look great!

Thanks man, gonna be much better once i get the stance dialed in.

Looks really good. You're local to us too.



Infact i think you've messaged us before about doing some vids on our fb page for cliosport scotland?

 

[trylivingmedia]

[Heez]

Looks good but is that tyre on the wrong way? Proxes, rainsports are the opposite direction with that tread.

Nice yeah that's what I do to mine, spend so long doing all the little things!! Spends ages just cleaning my wheels last time! I've never waxed, how do you do it just by hand? Might do it next time!

 

[trylivingmedia]

yeah just i just use some microfibre cloths. really thinking about buying a rotary polisher, would make like so much easier
