F.A.O. Bubbles - picture request

[Munson]

Hey Bubbles (or anyone with pics) could you please post up some pics showing your car on a 40mm drop, ideally some true side profile snaps. Your car is on Apex -40mm right?

Roy

 

[Bubbles]

Just for you Roy... no Taxis

 

[Munson]

Cheers sweetie, the only thing better than that is going to be my Inferno :evil:

 

[domtheone]

One beautiful looking car that.

Absolutely perfect, just as it is :banghead:

 

[Thomss]

Lovely.

 

[Ali]

Mines dropped a bit at the front. But i've ditched my spare at the bak and it's leveled off a bit. I don't have any normal pics lol...

Shame it looks like this now...

 

[Munson]

It seems 40mm is the perfect drop. Mint pictures from everyone. Cheers

 

[Ali]

Did you buy a carbon splitter?

Perfect drop...Wouldn't recommend it tho...

 

[Bubbles]

Haha...I was going to post the funny version of that pic...but thought otherwise!

Dan thats as low as Ally's monaco blue 172!!! Done a few miles?

 

[Day]

Almost 40mm

 

[Ali]

Why not?

lol...ok for the money i like them...But they are, bumpy, uncomfortable, yellow, And after a while the handling is wishy washy. Not all that good on track either. In a perfect world coilovers or for a cheaper option Eibacs, but there not as low...

 

[dannyboy172]

Why not?

lol

Ali - yes cars done 71k about 25k on the springs with OE orignal dampers :quiet:

ah the gdi conversion...

glad they dont do ships - the thing wouldnt get out the dock.....

 

[Ali]

Dan - CHRIST!!!! Original dampers too!! Looks the piece! My tramlines so badly now and they've only been on 12k! OE dampers too

 

[Ali]

PMSL...Swiftly moving on!

 

[Munson]

So they don't actually improve the handling? How do they get 'wishy washy' in time? They're just springs? Do you mean they f**k the dampers over time? I'm confused :S

 

[Bubbles]

Ive never had any problems with the apex springs, they were on the 172 and i put a new set on the 182 (and i love the fact there yellow )

They are firm.. but that doesnt bother me

 

[dannyboy172]

Dan - CHRIST!!!! Original dampers too!! Looks the piece! My tramlines so badly now and they've only been on 12k! OE dampers too

Yeah mine tramlines like a biatch! Need to sort myself out something really - koni adjustables? the OE ones are't leaking tho :S and look in quite good condition!

 

[Ali]

They do eventually shag the dampers...Mine seem ok so far. The cars just very soft as the spring has compressed over time. Put it this way i don't have the confidence in the car i once did...Still drive it like i stole it, but feels a bit unsettled on different surfaces tho.

 

[Rich]

All about the yellow!

Roy, no messing set of H&R's you will love them.

 

[Munson]

Who cares what colour they are ffs? lol

 

[Ali]

The koni's look good. Dibraggio has them. It's a semi coilover thing! Bizarre setup. Quite low tho. My dampers look fine too. But to be frank, rory and a few others have had numerous failed dampers after 2k miles.

Nah I'm not spunking £900

 

[Ali]

lol. I painted mine black!

 

[Ali]

Nah I'm not spunking £900

it's a clio. eibac pro dampers and springs...i'd like to try that!

 

[Munson]

lol. I painted mine black!

Just in case you roll the car??

 

[Bubbles]

All about the yellow!

Knowsit :approve:

 

[Ali]

Just in case you roll the car??

fingers crossed that won't happen...but yes.

 

[Munson]

:d

 

[Bubbles]

fingers crossed that won't happen...but yes.

Havent you got them declaired?

 

[Ali]

Havent you got them declaired?

No they are. Didn't affect my policy incidently.

Knowsit.

Roy not £900 if you pay that you're getting your pants pulled down. There's a brand new warranty complete set for sale on the forum somewhere for a little over £700 IIRC.

 

[stoddie]

PMSL...Swiftly moving on!

5 engines on here though - would take them probably a week to knacker them all!

 

[Ali]

^700 on a clio............Fcuk rite off...No way would i spend that. I'd rather lick dan's face!
