Yasss!
Someone on the Abarth forum priced up what it would cost to do properly, came to over a grand. f**k. That.

lovely motor chap, cracking choice but still not happy you sold the clio
Cheers Ben. Yeah, was gutted to see the valver go tbh.
Still, I don't get soaked driving this in the rain. Lol.

Gayer than a gay's gay thing.
Still nice though.
Don't these end up in fields ?

I thrashed one of these around Donington for a fair few laps, I really did enjoy it, it was great fun.

Cheers gents. Lol at guilty pleasure.
It seems to handle really well, surprisingly, although on bumpier surfaces it feels far more nervous than my Trophy ever did. Fun though!
My balls. Your mouth.

do you find the hazards annoying when braking anywhere near what would be called hard....so far I don't think anyone has found a way to turn them off.
E90 M3
HI!
To be honest mate, I've not driven it anywhere near hard enough to find out yet, lol. Either that, or I've not noticed.
I like them personally, far nicer that the standard 16's imo. I would like some Esseesse ones, but they're pretty rare and pricey.
Not yet, but the leather should prove handy. Wipable, init.
Too nice mate, worth it for the avatar.
Well played!

Nice car mate and avoids any reference to it's a ladies car. If it handles anything like the Panda you must be giggling all the time. Would be interesting to see it in the flesh as it is in my fave colour.
E90 M3
Cheers chaps. I;m sure you'll see it soon enough Pete, I'll try to convince you to stick the engine in the Panda
Neeeeed. f**king pricey though. Pauper spec non-climate too

Like. A lot. Get those alloys and some coilies bought ASAP.
Oh, and any sign of photos yet? Or you too busy blowing bears up with RPGs

Glad you think so, as you'd be fitting the coilovers xxx
Been looking at Bilstein and Spax. Spax are slightly more pricey but fully adjustable. Decisions!

Flol! I'll get them up tonight dude.
Yeah, they're starting to be plans for next year really. Warrenty runs out in May, so before that I'm just going to look at a TMC box and that's about it. I was outbid on that one on eBay I was talking to you and Ryan about :dapprove:

Sucks to be outbid. Good plans though, TMC box, wheels and coilies will make a lovely car even better. I was impressed with it when I took it for a little run out. You're right though, sport button must stay on permanently.
Just need to persuade you to track it at Llandow now...

I'm not really a fan of black wheels Ben, but I think they suit it well. Bright silver would look odd against campovolo, and white would be too much. Plus, a pain to keep clean, lol.
Glad you like it mate! Yeah, I thought the sport button thing was a gimmick, but actually makes a huge difference. Feels broken with it off.
Tempting, but not tempting enough to make me want to! Lol.

Well the offer to drive mine at Llandow still stands, if you're keen to make the trip.
Ps. You coming to the Longbridge Mill meet next Mon?

I'd have Bilstein/H&R over Spax everyday of the week personally. CS is the only forum where the latter is mentioned as anything other than the FSO Polenez of coilovers. I'd make the assumption that that is because they are cheap and fully adjustable for all of the race engineers on CS that do nothing but track days in their clios :quiet:
Pic above looks awesome btw, get it done so i can have a looky.

I agree with Dave, exactly why I chose Bilsteins for mine, and you've seen them at work first hand Luke.

That would be awesome mate. I'll check the thread for dates now and give you a text.
I'll try to make Longbridge!
Looking forward to it
Did you look at the konigsports?
They don't make them for the 500 I don't think mate
Another opion would be adjustable koni's, which is the same set up as the later SS models. Apparently the ride quality is improved massively with these, so could be another option. The rear also sits a bit lower with them on, so combined with sportlines could be an option. That would make them as expensive as the Spax though, so unless I see a set going second hand I won't bother I don't think.
E90 M3
Yeah, I do love the B14's on Oli's Clio tbf. They're hard but not unconfortable. Currently, the damping on the rear of the 500 is very questionable; the main reason I've been looking at coilovers is to improve this actually. Since I don't track the car, I think fully adjustables would be wasted on me anyway.
Turini's could look awesome Ryan, yep - 4x98 iirc. Pricey in 17's though, double what the 1.2's are. Will do a 'shop anyway.

Turbines would look even better
Ever seen Sexy Beast? The scene where Ben Kingsely repeatedly says 'NO!' to Ray Winstone is how I feel to respond to you now.
