From Campus too...

[Plummer]

Will have a look at Crail, but don't usually go. I'm have a pre-arranged event Sunday too..

Xenon's next?

If I can find a cheap pair yes!

Can't justify 200 odd quid for second hand ones. :O

 

[Plummer]

Quick picture of the car as it stands just now!

(Coils and spacers on tomorrow! Side skirts at a later date.)

And picked these up off the bay for 50 quid.

 

[BREMBO]

Looking good mate, I like the wee Reno F1 badge

 

[Plummer]

Cheers dude!

Update:

Got the spacers on now (30mm front, 13mm back) and it looks spot on.

Had a problem with the coilovers being the wrong size (not the bolt spacing though!)

The bracket bit my finger is in is a 28mm gap.

The bit on the hub that fits into this is only 23mm.

So I've contacted Speedbox who are talking with Vmaxx just now.

I'm tempted to try sticking some 2.5mm spacers on each side though to solve the problem! :rasp:

Will be fitting the skirts next week once I get hold of a rivet gun at the weekend and may look at fitting the fogs (but not wiring them up) this week.

 

[BREMBO]

hmmm weird. Must have been/is annoying

Nice shiny coilovers though

 

[JCC]

Coming along nicely mate...my v-maxx situation is being a pain in the ass right now due to my feckin spacers still not being here.

Thanks!

What size of spacers are you getting?

 

[JCC]

Thanks!

What size of spacers are you getting?

20mm H&Rs. Thought I'd get them quicker than ordering FKs, turns out I won't, but oh well lol

 

[BioHzrd]

DECK IT !!!!

 

[Plummer]

Took the car for a "spirited" drive earlier.

The handling is immense with the spacers on, corners I would take at 45-50mph I'm taking comfortably at 60ish. (this may be due to the size of my balls though).
The car feels totally planted.

You will end up lowering it more, pretty sure of that!

 

[Plummer]

Oh yeah, definitely..

Just not on it's arse so I can scrape over speedbumps, but we will see! :rasp:

Will just add I heard back from Speedbox and Vmaxx and it turns out I have the wrong front struts! Their coming on Monday to pick them up and will be sending the correct ones out once they have them.

Not sure if I like the colour, but it's different.

[BioHzrd]

[Plummer]

Hey there on their way, patience you!

 

[BioHzrd]

I have none !!!

 

[Plummer]

Update:

Turns out I had the correct coilovers but they were labeled wrong! :dapprove:
So will be waiting to get them back!

Also fitted the sideskirts (no pics) but the colour match ain't great so they will need a proper re-spray.

 

[MikesDman]

DOH!

 

[jays]

Give me your car

Also I'm glad you changed the badges from that horrible red.

Haha. You want a 1.2 8v?

lol.

Turns out theres different hub spacings too!

You get 3 sizes for the clio, 23mm, 25mm which are for 1*2's and 27mm not 28mm which are the ones I got that wont fit.
Don't know if Vmaxx know this but will hopefully know by tomorrow!

 

[jays]

I'm 17 and my test isn't for another month, I'd settle for any car right now

And about 30mm front.

Right for anyone that doesn't know!

Speedbox contacted me and said Vmaxx are sending the coilovers back, and I've to try using spacers/washers to put them on.
As I'm not entitled to a refund!
