Apparently on bags though, so if it is thats cheating.

 

[R3OBC]

i seen it and thought airbags!

 

[Has]

wasnt this the guy with just very low cut springs?

sure fred spoke to him?

 

[Alan]

Maybe lower but how would it handle on airbags?

 

[Tom]

£50 says fred gets new rear springs to fight the good fight.

 

[Tez.]

i know this chap and yes its airbags

 

[Fred@BTM]

the back is the same as mine, but the front is slightly lower

and yes its on airbags!!!

i wonder if he fancys a race on the twisties!!!



oh and he has a 50bhp direct port nitrous system on it too!!! (1.2 16V)

 

[Eskiisbest]

LOL

 

[Little Newms]

What exactly is airbags???? When it comes to lowering?

 

[Fred@BTM]

instead of a spring, you have a thick rubber bag, the driver can pump it up to raise the car or let air out to lower it (you have an onboard compressor connected to them)

looks cool, and would be useful for getting over speedbumps etc, but would handle like a bag of poo poo (moist poo poo)

does the clio cup racer not have air bags??? im pretty sure i read it does, air bags dont mean crap handling.... hydrolics give you sh*t handling cos they dont compress.... but air bags can because u can compress air but not liquid... driven a saxo vts with bags on it, and it handled fine !

LMFAO!! Is Yoz having a wee? http://www.leemather.plus.com/cliosport/FCS2005/FCS-060.jpg

As for the airbags, does sound a good idea for shows. (but i dont have a clue about handling etc!!)

 

[makavelli]

looks nice and low! just a shame about the mirrors really!

Step away from the crack pipe!!

no clio cup racers do not have airbags, they have coilover units front and rear, the lower on the rear is attached to a ball/socket joint and the front wishbones are megane items IIRC, definately no airbags on the car inside or out.

Hydrolics dont really give you that bad handling if you have them set-up correctly. Hydrolic cylinders will compress as long as there is a correctly weighted acumilator(s) in the system. If these acumilators are switched or closed off however the ride is very harsh.

Bazzeray - Might be, but the OTT kit makes it look lower aswell

iirc that first clio has just had air bags fitted. He drives it on a drop of 165mm it can go lower but its basically sat on the arch liners then.
