Scorpion Zorst fitted to lowered clio 16v

[chuckie]

Has anyone else got this?

I bought my clio lowered but i have no idea how far it is dropped, at a guess its about 35mm, well on the standard 15" wheels the tyres are in the arches...Anywayz, i have fitted a full scorpion zorst and basically even on the slightest speed bump my zorst drags!! and im fed up with this too......... has anyone else found this and if so how did they over come it?

i did have that problem in my 1.4rt and it turned out they didnt push the exhaust up into the underneath of the car enough when it curves just after the torsion bar.

i get this its drags on the centre section but it cant be pushed up for some reason

Have you got a centre box on? Have it taken off if so, that might help.

Yeah, the centre box on my Scorpion Xorst scrapes if you take speed humps too quick & i wanna get my 16v lowered by 35mm!

It cant be taken up wongy cause they say itll knock on the body but its just the mechanics being lazy bast*rds cause they dont wanna have to re-hang the Xorst IMO.

Im gonna check other 16vs to c how low thier Xorsts hang anyway.

The Scorpion Xorst comes with strange hangers which cant be adjusted. They kinda hag for rubber strips from the under body to the Xorst.

Im gonna get a quote for new hangers to pull it right up & into the slots in which the heat shields are posistioned so i can lower it slightly more when i get coilovers.

um, cant you heat them with oxyacetalene then bend them........

i have a scorpian exaust and my car is lowered and i have no problem whatsoever its up in the slots as it should be! sounds like sloppy mecanics to me!

What kinda hangers? Do the originals work with a Scorpion? Cheers.

See my post on aftermarket exhausts, that may help.
