spare

[akaboogie]

well iv got a spare £100 to waste.so was just wondering if any one had any ideas what i could get for my car or even make any changes to make it look abit better..

iv just orded some..(renault f1 team stickers)..but if i dont like them i will be taking them straight back of.......

Powerflex dogbone mount.

Ditch the towing strap...

 

[montana]

i would sell the towing strap, wind deflectors get a 3/4 front plate andput the money towards some turinis imho

 

[akaboogie]

...jackjack...iv already orded my new powerflex kit last week just need to get around to fitting it...it just to cold to be laying on the floor and that..

...kevster...like the trs strap...

...montana...^..also think the wind deflextors look smart. but i would like a 3/4 front plate and turinis can be a pain to get hold of..

What's been done under the bonnet ?

 

[Dave..]

English lessons.





...seriously though, save it and spend it on something not car related. Like beer, or save for a holiday with your mates.

 

[jenic]

Mini roadtrip?

 

[akaboogie]

no engine mods it just standed at the moment with a..(itg panel filter)..

and ther is nothing you can do really with £100 when it comes to engine mods.

hoping to have a stage 2 from ktec soon at the end of march..

 

[Bassplayer]

Spend the money on an instructional track day. This is better than any mods to suspension or engine, as you will be able to drive the car faster and safer!

 

[MartinR]

give me the £100 and i will wash you're car for you.

 

[akaboogie]

^^^^^joker.

 

[Kane.]

3/4 plate will look good, apart from that it looks good as it is

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

second hand rstuner??? or camber bolts either of these will make a massive difference to how your car feels to drive.

 

[akaboogie]

...kane....im gonna be looking on (fancyplate) today....cheers...

...mokeyknifefight.....what are camber bolts...

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

for £25 or so they are bolts that allow the front wheels to lean in at the top, they instantly improve cornering and are a great mod the only negative effect is that if you introduce too much camber your front tyres wont last long!! i got through a new pair of paradas in 3000 miles but i had a good laugh in doing so

But if i didnt have one it would be rstuner first all day long!!!

 

[akaboogie]

..monkeyknifefight... thanks for this link. how do you fit them....

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

take off you front wheel, loosen off both bolts holding the front suspension to the hub, remove the top bolt completely the replace with camber bolt, turn the bolt to get an idea of how much camber is being introduced, set to what you want (probably about half of what is possible) i then measured from the brake disk to the suspension strutt so i could replicate what i had done on the other side of the car i.e. both wheels have the same amount of camber.

 

[akaboogie]

so are theses really worth doing. and also if ther not set up properly will it just kill the tyres..will the tracking need seting back up.

and how will you no when thay are set up properly...

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

So many question i fear only life experience will answer many of them. From my experience my car pulled to the left before i fitted them and i was perfect after i had them fitted, i would pay to have them setup purely for the cost involved not being worth it.

Maybe someone else that has had them will comment on their experience with them, but bare in mind there is potentially alot of faffing about if you dont give both the same amount of camber or if you havent put enough on both or if you feel you've put too much on both.

 

[akaboogie]

yeah i was thinking of geting them fitted properly as it would just save me time f**king trying to set them up.

any one no the best place to have set up proprely..not some back street garage.

do kwick fit or some were like that do it..and how am i looking to pay.

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

^^^ Kwik fit will do you a laser alignment and tell you what the readings are, i suspect they may setup some camber bolts but its easily an hour of someones time plus an alignment which i cant see being less than £90 (hours labour plus alignment)

Im happy with the way i set mine up but where as measuring a point to match a point the other side will close to guarantee symmetry i couldnt tell you how many degrees camber im running.

I wouldnt buy them with a view to having them setup for road use, buy them try them sell them you might loose £10, have them fitted dont like the tyre wear sell them you've lost £70

 

[akaboogie]

yeah i see what your saying...

think im gonna leave you no.
