Thats what i meant, top adjustable damping

not fk???? what????

the fk coilover we talked about few weeks back? check your pm to refresh your memory

 

[Fred@BTM]

Oh yeah the FK coilovers are another option im looking into but money is my main problem!!!!!

My 17s are ET37 so they stick out more than the std 15s

As for the old insurance, well ahem!!!!!!

£100 added to my excess

renault insurance

 

[RobFenn]

How low do the FK coilovers go?

 

[Fred@BTM]

Not entirely sure, im hoping 85mm+ but ive e-mailed them and they said that the rears are heiight adjustable (no mention about how low) as well as the front!!!! (the only coilover other than Bilstein to do this) K-tecs arent rear height adjustable!!!

Im also trying to get my hands on the clio cup racing suspension (fully adjustable, very low ride possible!!!!!!)

 

[steve dynamique]

ClioJohn- How much you wanting for the -40mm springs?

 

[ClioJohn]

changed my mind sorry matey

 

[RobFenn]

Fred your mad, its only a 1.2!

 

[Fred@BTM]

Yeah i know, im not after handling, i just want it to scrape the floor like the old F1 cars!!!!

(Rob, it may only be a 1.2, but when your gonna do what im gonna do to it, itll be keeping up with VTSs)

 

[Tom]

Fitting a turbo mate?

fastchip have been contacted and im awaiting feedback regarding my project!!

 

[RobFenn]

OK now you 2 have to tell me what your doing! I might have to join the 1.2 war

 

[RobFenn]

A quick question, are 172 seats a straight swap?

 

[Fred@BTM]

Yes they are a straight swap, and im doing it on saturday!!!!!!!

Heres a clue as to what im doing to my engine, it consists of two parts Nitrogen and one part Oxygen??????

 

[theICEman]

K-tec are extending their range of Gaz coilovers to include the 1.2 16v. They have 42 settings front and 28 rear and look likely to cost under £400 since the 172 coilovers are 399 for the set. I think I might have to consider a set of these...

 

[RobFenn]

Me 2. I might get the 172 seats and retrim the interior in the same colour as the billabong. How much did the seats set you back?

 

[Fred@BTM]

The problem with the K-tec ones is that you cant adjust the rear ride height (you only get the front 2 coilovers and two rear lowering springs with adjustable shocks)

Im buying the 172 interior off adtimis for £400

 

[RobFenn]

Has anyone put the k-tec manifold on their 1.2? gains??

 

[Tom]

Fred is your interior mk1 or mk2 172?

the manifold wont give you much more than 6-8 bhp trust me
