need idea's on this, I've lost momentum!

 

[Tom Newham]

Get the rokkor coilovers ordered off ebay, fit them, play with the height, get the car setup etc, you will love the car again....trust me

As for ideas, you've got wheels, youve got the car, wrapping looks pretty awesome to be honest, why not get the wheels powder coated black or something?

Or if you want to make a statement, get them done a wild colour

I love this car fairplay. my clio looked as though it had been cleaned with a brilow pad, so took it for a polish but still looks like it in direct sunlight, isit worth getting a polisher and polishing it my selff?

Im deffo replacing the spoiler with a cup one and 60mm springs for now, untill i decide on height etc! Im not keen on the wrapping, looks kinda naff now! I think im going for the 172 rep look tbh!

Yes! Buy a da & get a scrap panel to practise on first! Well worth it!

 

[JackJack]

Nice work sorting the paint out looks mint now

personally dont like the wheels tho

 

[VIICarCare]

They look better in the flesh, once she's lower it will pull them off .... i hope!

 

[Tom Newham]

Pah! Wuss!

Get them springs on sharpish so I can see em, but I dont think it will be low enough especially with the wheels its sat on at the minute.

Sport rep - theres just so many of them, but I guess if thats the way your gonna go, do it right

 

[VIICarCare]

I was thinking there is alot of sports around too, only seen one black rep down the road from me but looks cack as its still sitting high with no wheel spacers, plus he has the sport badge on!

I'll lower her first & go from there really! May rip out the rear seats out as i hardly use them! Turn her into my detailing van!

 

[VIICarCare]

No update as of yet!!! Just keeping her clean I really want VMax coilovers but I have put an offer in for a house so I have to hold fire for now! Really need a cup spoiler too!

I hate arch gap!

 

[JoeyD]

Bahhh hell! She's clean

You can have my Cup Spoiler if Tunst decides he doesn't want it!

 

[VIICarCare]

I need Idea's peeps! I don't have money atm as the new house is broken!

Cup spoiler is sorted thanks to Vish (px'ing for correction detail on his beemer )

Really want a cheap set of coilovers but the bolt spacing is the pita one! Shall I just go with 60m springs i ask myself?

My next plan is to wet sand her all over as there is a few paint defects that im not happy with since buying her

Idea's??

 

[PP200t]

Yeah just go for 60mm, a lot cheaper and would look very good. I like the ride height as it is, loved my 1.2 when it was lowered 40mm. looks awesome compared to what it was!!

 

[GeorgeH]

Go for coilovers! Even the boggo cheap racelands and 16v hubs be cheaper then vmaxx no?

 

[daddycool]

Shall I just go with 60m springs i ask myself?

yeah, 60 metre springs!!

 

[VIICarCare]

oh look, thats funny ...

 

[daddycool]

you having a bad day too?

 

[chriscummins7]

Hub conversion and get some coilovers... because I had 60mm and it wasn't enough. At least if you get coils then can choose! You won't regret it tbh. Then why not go for some funky wheels?

 

[dazzyb87]

new front plates, lower it on the 60 mm springs then bring the vee out for summer fun

 

[VIICarCare]

I think I'm going to slowly buy the 172 body bits & the cheapo coilovers & hubs .....

Can any one explain exactly what part is the hub & the actual bits that need replacing, I know roughly but want to be 100% sure!

And as for the Coilovers, Raceland seem to have replaced the Rokkor ones but they only go as low as 65mm ... Any good?

 

[GeorgeH]

I'm on racelands, they go lower then 65mm. I'll grab you a pic if you want.

 

[Caineoo]

Very nice work Looks great.
Im in the same position as you, whether or not to get coilovers or just stick with 65mm springs :S
Alloys: Are they ronal r43's?

 

[VIICarCare]

Pics would be great Littleg & yup they are Ronals

cheers

 

[Woody.]

Subscribing to this thread.
I see your write ups over at detailing world.
Hope your house issues get sorted soon!

 

[VIICarCare]

aww cheers fella! The house is the reason Im not able to do much atm on this!

 

[GeorgeH]

Got a quick snap. Used 100% hdr on it so you can see the wheel/arch as the original pic is to dark.

The front can go down another 30mm or so.

 

[VIICarCare]

mmm, very nice! I have hopefully secured some Rokkor coilovers with any luck

 

[Knuckles]

This thing may aswell be chrome plated its so god damn shiny!

 

[VIICarCare]

aww lol, cheers fella

 

[Rob]

Let me know when you've found these hubs/coilies.

I've been offered a big drive way at a more mutual location by another member, we can crack on there.

 

[Dweeb]

coilovers are being picked up from me soon

 

[VIICarCare]

Cheers Dweeb

Just get the hubs then were go go go!

Rob, wheres this driveway? Can we not do it in the hangar here?

 

[HartZ]

Will look pretty darn good when its lowered, love the wheels too, different

 

[Rob]

As great as the hangar sounds, it's over an hour for me so a right PITA!!! The driveway is in Essex, mr Giraffe's place!

 

[VIICarCare]

aahhhhh, I see! I'll let you know then mate. Might have to wait until next pay day as I need to spend monies elsewhere atm, bit by bit

 

[Rob]

It's not a problem in the slightest, I'm in no rush. Works well for both of us though, so seems a good deal to me
