- Stripped out Crew

[Rexy]

Anybody with a Stripped out Clio find the rear end is skitty on country lanes, Or is it just me?

 

[powelly]

yeah it is!!

i nearly lost it in my car the other day in all that rain cos i hadnt driven my car for a while forgot how bad it was!!

no weight in the back so just bounces all over the show!!

 

[Rexy]

lol, Ditto i did that last night. Went sideways round a couple of corners and though S**T hope nothing comming lol was 4am though. Maybe ill soften the rear up slightly or just dump my konis and get new suspension

Perfect excuse. . .

 

[Essex_lads_bro]

Ive taken Als car to the limit many times and it feels great IMO, I love it!

All good except for that time when i...... lol

Only joking Al, hehe! ;o)

 

[powelly]

oi mister my car goes round bends as good as anything cos its so low and because of the roll cage its like a little go kart thats no the problem

just the lightness of the car and bouncing around make it so hard to control!

Nah mines all good jus needs droppin a bit more and for my bday gonna get some shocks to stop the bodyroll

Geoff managed to shed a good £30 off my tires but at least i showed him how to drive a CUP properly

 

[RobFenn]

I took out my rear seats, it was too light at the back really, and a bit dodgy under braking too. How do you lot get it sideways . RWD Clios?!

Powelly, having the back a lot lower than the front isnt a good idea.

[Essex_Lad]

keep it level or slightly higher!

its a lot quicker minus the seats, spare wheel, shelf, ICE etc

no it wouldnt be lower where i have taken my seats out etc its pretty high now but even with another click it would then be about the same as the front

there is quite a difference now which is why im doin it

[Daz]

I went in Weights car.. and his exhaust was the loudest K-Tec one..

It wasnt that bad - its suprising. I thought it would be deafening, but I could easily talk on the phone whilst he was driving.

 

[Essex_Lad]

i dread to think wot mine would be like fully stripped!

 

[Jas]

Mines got a full roll cage (no rear seats), front strut brace, AVO coilovers, and fairly decent tyres, I dont really have a problem, but any small bump in the road will throw you up in the air! Its a terrible quality ride, but does handle superbly!!!

 

[Rexy]

Jas, Will you stick some piks up cheif?
