French and Jap content (56k nooo)

[Matt-16v]

Went out for a random drive yesterday and met up with a few mates. decided to take a few pics along the way. What do ya think ?

and my new airfeed and broken splitter :rasp:

Then i met up with some of my mates. sorry for poor pic quality..only mods on the s14a are the wheels, 40mm drop and full exhaust system, and boost controller as the lad is only 19 lol.

thanks.

german content too.

..tell your mate to turn his fogs off

 

[Matt-16v]

[Rage]

BOOOOST!ftw...

 

[Baz 172]

You running 17's on that by looks, how does it handle?

 

[Rage]

Shite Im Guessing ?

 

[Leeshez]

Nice

 

[Matt-16v]

yeh 17's mate. TBH i cant feel the difference between 17" and 16" ( had both). the only thing i have noticed is a slight difference in acceleration from standard 15", but apart from that no problems at all with throwing it around corners. i think 17's and a 40mm drop look better than 16's as they fill the arch more. its only a 1.2 anyway so i have gone more along the looks side of things. if it was a smaller car like a 106 gti or something, then i would understand how 17" may affect the handling. iam sure others will be along to give a better answer than me lol

Side skirts do look soo much better!!... hmm tempting now..

 

[Matt-16v]

get it done. they are so easy to fit.

 

[Hazza]

Did you fit them urself?... I'm tempted you know.

I agree with you on the look, I think Clio's look much better on 17's with a drop. Don't know if they would make much difference on a 172/182 with regards to power and handling tho...?

 

[Matt-16v]

Haz - yeh i fitted them myself and sprayed them along with the bump strips on the doors. i just need to spray the rest now. they are k-tec's sideskirts because i didnt want to change all the wings etc. i think it sets the car off well tbh.

Baz - yeh, sorry mate i havent ever driven a 172/ 182 before so i dont know. there must be a reason for 16" wheels on RS's though, so it must make a difference...?

 

[Hazza]

Might have to get these then... but f**k paying £150 for it sprayed aswell!!

[Matt-16v]

yeh they look almost indentical to mine. £90 is probably what most body shops would charge though mate iirc

 

[Hazza]

I'll spray them myself

I had 17's on my old cup - utter shite for handling IMO!

 

[Jon.L]

I'll keep that in mind....will stick with the 16's I think! Just need to choose some new shoes....HELP, too much choice.

Clio looks tidy, I quite like those wheels, love the lupo obviously, I don't like that Jap contraption, looks waff.

 

[jayxx83]

clio looks tidy, not a fan of the other two.
