evening Mara's!!

this weekend has been a busy weekend getting the vee back on the road after a long winter in hibernation!!

the day started early in n0rmsville, i set out for Dave's AKA bongy on here equipped with a nice new set of KWv3 coil overs...here are various photos along the way as fitting and seting up commenced!!

first set of pics......out with the ''ship'esk'' standard set up and in with the new!!

All four corners on, it was time for ''PLANKTEC y0'' and he tedious job of the set up!!......and what a pain in the arse it was!!!

the above pics are at the first stage of set up, it was just to low, so we re-adjusted and had the following set up we stuck and happy with....

And finally me an bongy met up with gray for a quick pint and a chat!..

That's all in this episode, more to come in the next week or so!



finally I'd just like to say a massive massive thank you to the great man who is bongy.......1. hes a derby Fan, 2. he gave up his free time to open up his workshop for us to use and 3. being a top top bloke in general and someone that deffo knows his shizzle with renaults CHEERS MATE

LOL, they have a bike night down there, been down a few times but it gets rammed, end up parking on the road and a long way back! Plus the Feds are all over it like a rash because people race up and down that road.

 

[Mish]

Glad you change the height after the first go Norm- it's spot on now!

Beauty!!

 

[n0rm]

Hows the handling now? what price did u get them for?

handling now is spot on mate, turn in is crisp and the car is a whole lot more responsive, really is a differant car to drive, as for the price, i got them for just over 1200 quid.

Glad you change the height after the first go Norm- it's spot on now!

Beauty!!

[Beef-Mc]

[clio_luke]

that sits really well. looked too low in the first few pics.

 

[n0rm]

cheers guys.....we spent most of the day setting the suspension up, we had the wheels of a fair number of times tweaking the ride height, camber and rebound settings, all well worth it tho as you can see from the pics.......

ive got some awesum pics on my phone, however the laptop is being bent and not uploading, so if i can txt them to someone and they would put them in this thread id be grateful! TA!

 

[SkidMarx]

nOrm assured me the rears only went -20mm, so we wound the adjusters right down, They went down atleast -50mm and that was before they were bedded in! Far too low!!

Looking good now tho, the pictures dont really do it justice.

Remember big man.... The PH-2 lights do not just "plug in" you have to swap over a few of the connectors.
