Red wheels?

Cheers dude. I'm changing the wheels to something wider as the offset on the Enkeis just doesn't look wide enough, probably going for something cheap like Pro Race 1.2's. I like the red idea though, hadn't really considered a wacky colour, good plan!

 

[Y7 ADW]

I loved your 197, IMO it was the nicest one on CS

 

[Waitey]

Get some Rota GT3's in red.

RareRims on here do a discount!

 

[Gally]

Red and black always looks good!

 

[Joeh]

I can almost guarantee the Suzuki would make you smile much more than a Saxo ever will, awesome wee cars and apparently the secrets out they still aren't getting any cheaper to buy! The running costs for the smiles they produce are fantastic.

no
just no

you ever actually been in a vts?

Thanks dude, I still miss it although my bank account doesn't!

Ooooo, I'll look into that. Cheers.

Never did me any harm

Yes. And a 106 GTI. And a few hot clios. Ignis>French for fun imo.

I bought a Vts on the weekend just gone - everytime I get in it I drive like I've had my brain removed. It's just that kind of car. For what it is, and the price it'd be difficult to have more fun, while going a similar speed, and still being practical (and apart from being lowered, unmodified). Doesn't stop me missing my S2000 a bit though.

Good work on the modifications, although the Ignis still looks a little high considering it's lowered. Wheels that filled the arches out more would make it look much better - or you could look at spacers?

 

[Munson]

Greenstuff? SRS? Worst brake pads in the solar system. Shockingly bad.

 

[Mr Burns]

It's what I was recommended... At the speed I drive now they'll do fine

 

[lbrench]

honestly, i have never been a fan of these but yours has changed my mind.

proper little motor that ste! what power do they put out?

looks really nice mate

[Mr Burns]

Cheers dude, it's just something cheap for me as the 197 was costing a fortune and had been ragged since new. I really like it tbh, I know it's not pretty or rapid but it punches well above its weight. It's a 109bhp 1.5 DOHC VVTi weighing 945kgs, sounds pretty unexciting but it goes well and corners like a 172.

 

[MarkCup]

I second the corners like a 172 bit. I have more fun on the road in mine because you can just stamp on the throttle mid-turn and drive hard on the way out whereas in the clio you're always having to hold back a little.

 

[Leeshez]

Nice car .

 

[stuart1989]

One of the shittest looking cars ive ever seen.. sorry man :\

 

[Toms_clio]

These are suprisingly good cars. I worked on these for a while when i worked at Suzuki for 2 weeks. I got taken out in one and thought it was pretty nippy.. I personally like ignis sports!

 

[Gaz.]

Until they crumble apart in a month's time.

 

[Mr Burns]

 

[s.jones18]

Looks well that!

 

[Mr Burns]

Induction update...

Big thanks to Neil for the inspiration!

Alot of talk on the Ignis forum of how I'm getting heatsoak and losing loads of power, but tbh I couldn't care less! It definately feels like it pulls better than it did, and sounds a million times better.

 

[Christopher]

Looks cool!

Have you cut the front of the airbox off?

 

[Mr Burns]

Looks cool!

Yeah I got hold of a spare airbox off eBay for £15 and cut it up, then bought a Monster air filter from Japan!

 

[Christopher]

Looks ace! Is there a CAF on the bonnet or something?

 

[Mr Burns]

No dude, they're available though... Just need to get hold of one!

 

[Girder]

Love it what kind if 0-60 times have these got?

 

[Mr Burns]

Love it what kind if 0-60 times have these got?

0-60 8.7secs I think, don't quote me though!

 

[MarkCup]

That looks good, who cares about the heatsoak. If you're happy with how it drives, and more importantly how it sounds, that's all that matters. Shame you couldn't make Haynes today...I could have done with some support LOL.

I know mate, genuinely couldn't get the day off work. Got a spare set of track wheels now though so... Next time!

 

[Kneel]

0-60 in 8.9 The original CAF above the nearside headlight would work if you put some hose on the end up to the filter, thats what I did with mine. Although like you say I noticed no difference in pull with an induction kit and it pulled just aswell as my friends ignis sport. The K&Ns etc sit right at the back of the engine so probably suffer worse heat soak than that will aswell.

 

[chrispy.clio]

Looks ace I bet it sounds good

 

[Mr Burns]

Winter is upon us and I thought I better update...

- I've removed the rear seats, spare wheel and other gubbings to save weight.
- Added some 15" Pro Race 1.2's with some T1-R tyres.
- It's now sitting on SuzukiSport gas coilovers.

 

[alex-avfc]

Saw it parked up at Orbital the other week, looked smart!

Heard the coilovers are a bit different to your old KW V1's though lol

 

[welshname]

spacers on the rear, deep dish wheels and camber, yes please...

Yeah it's very, erm.... Stiff lol. I ran over a 20p last night and I could tell it was tails lol.

spacers on the rear, deep dish wheels and camber, yes please...

Would look good mate yeah, but it's going on track so I need it set up properly.

 

[Ian_182]

Fair play too you steve,you've made a cracking effort with that...

 

[The Boosh!]

More pics where you can actually see the car pleaseee

 

[mat-nos]

looks so much better on 7j wheels....
looking forward to track vids/pics ;-)

 

[theduck]

Liking the new mods chap!
