Finished Euro Clio ;)

[Dan@M.A.D]

Also whats the best coilovers for under £250? raceland are really cheap but i dont want s**t ones.. might do a trackday in it soon

 

[mr.pink87]

There are no good coilovers for under 250 imo. If you want good lows have a look at FK Highsports.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

you need....

FK highsport coilovers £475 (last time i checked)
Remove ALL stickers inc tow ring.
I honestly wouldnt of bothered with the seats waste of time.
Do some measuring as your gonna have fun getting the stance perfect.
Find a local garage that can roll arches.
Remove mud flaps, they wont last long when your lower.

Just a start

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Arches are already rolled Might sell the seats on and go for 172/182 seats.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

its all about the little touches, people are more impressed with them than other "in your face" bits.

 

[Goodj]

I fancy the idea of "Euro" rear light clusters, but they dont appear to be easy to find.

Any help?

 

[BIFCAIDS]

The lights i think your talkin about are FK rear lights

 

[Goodj]

The lights i think your talkin about are FK rear lights

Does that mean they're right up there, in the style profiles, as 'Lexus' lights?

 

[BIFCAIDS]

nah your still accepted in the cool kids club as they are a damn site more expensive than standard lights and lexus lights

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

definetly wouldnt change the rear lights, moving on anyway as im only keeping it for a month before i either sell or turn it into a track car, Just wanted to go silly low.

 

[Goodj]

nah your still accepted in the cool kids club as they are a damn site more expensive than standard lights and lexus lights

140 Euro.
ouch.

Well, maybe I'll just wait until I actually need to replace what's already there

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

UPDATE.

Got some FK highsport coilovers fitted today. Pick the car up tommorow from the garage. Its is sitting much lower He couldnt get the car off the ramps lol. Im tempted to keep it now and maybe wack a 172 lump in it at some point. Also fitted some corbeau buckets.

 

[James28]

Sounds awesome - pics!

 

[panda15]

Couple of updates, fitted the RS grill (finally) and picked up a couple of corbeau buckets with clio subframes for £80! i didnt really want them but at that price i couldnt resist

I love your car wish i had the money for coilovers....let me know if your going to sell those seats =

I hope the threads are fairly close to the bottom otherwise I will get that UPS man to come back to you and bring them back!! Glad you got them fitted alright... they did me proud!

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

^ There not quite as low as you had them, about 3 turns away but if you saw where i live you would understand, I cannot get onto my driveway now so i had to leave my car at work in the unit lol, Ive got to build up the driveway with stones.., Also as i live down a single track lane i may have an issue if i meet someone coming the other way as i wont be able to go on the grass haha. All part of been low and im loving it!

 

[jaycanning]

What size are the wheels and tyres mate?

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

15x8j wheel with 185 45 15 tyres

 

[Blox]

where do you get alloys with that kinda lip in a 15 or are they bigger? plus if you knew the width of the alloy eg.7j , 7.5j, 8j, dont suppose you could reply/PM i really am looking for that exact amount of poke and i have the same clio just silver

 

[Blox]

are they all 8j oh and did you need the arches rolled for them?

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

yep they needed rolling

 

[jaycanning]

15x8j wheel with 185 45 15 tyres

Cheers

 

[jackwilde]

personaly i would say not low enough to be classed as euro ?

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Just got FK coilovers fitted, its much lower now I need to take some pictures

 

[Blox]

yep they needed rolling

How did you go about getting this done? bodyshop or DIY ?
and if you could let me know the width of your alloys it would help ( 8j?)

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Rolled myself, Just heated the paint him a hair dryer, Then tapped it round with a hammer and a block of wood, Didnt get any cracking on the paint but sealed them after to make sure, 8j is 8inch i think

 

[chriscummins7]

Get off your arse and get the pics boyo. Can't wait to see!

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Cheeky preview This was right after it came off the ramps, i had the rear adjusters removed to get it lower. Piks up the weekend once they have settled and i have cleaned it

 

[ElkWorks]

like

get it to the stafford meet, last sunday of the month - check in the area forums

 

[mugglesquop]

still not low enough for euro, can still see the tops of the tyres ffs.

arch rolling is done best with a arch roller. guides online on how to make one, but basically, make a plate which bolts on to the hud same as a wheel does, weld a scissor jack to that, other end of jack has skateboard wheel (this is the 'roller').

Attach to car and extend jack to touch arches with wheel, roll, extend and repeat.

 

[Dweeb]

hurry up and put up some pitchers!

what wheels? i wheely like them...

 

[chriscummins7]

you could probably tell by the condition of the adjusters that I had never even touched them. Never been near the car!

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Already rolled

 

[mugglesquop]

Already rolled

ah yes, just seen the post :td

pics!

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Well here are some pictures, Front is going a bit lower still

 

[chriscummins7]

take adjusters out on back, and wind the fronts down then take some half decent pictures man! Those hurt my neck haha. Looks good though man

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

adjusters are out on back... , Front needs another good 10mm to be perfect.

 

[Joe#]

looks great.
Just seen it's up for sale, what are you replacing her with?

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Well im not 100% sure yet but here is the list:
197
megane 225
or a trophy

 

[Joe#]

Nice one, insurance may be heavy on a 225 though probably
