The fifty pence test!

[2thumbs]

Get on it. Using your phone/pack of fags is for sissy's!

 

[Kane.]

Not good enough, it's not touching

 

[JCC]

I don't get it.

I could quite easily park my car on uneven ground and take a load of pics showing coins that don't touch the bumper, do I win?

 

[2thumbs]

Probably.

 

[Bluebeard]

Did you have your eyes shut when you applied the bumper gel??

 

[Winston]

Pics of said coin under subframe tbh

 

[2thumbs]

As you wish.

ARB too? That seems to be the lowest point on the underside of mine.

 

[2thumbs]

Did you have your eyes shut when you applied the bumper gel??

I couldn't be arsed to bend down that low at the time.

 

[Winston]

Lowest point will do :approve:

But the 50p better be face down

 

[2thumbs]

LOL! The coilovers are bedding in now so it's getting lower again. I'm gonna have to raise it tbh. Roads around where I live are awful so it's fairly ridiculous. Any sort of speed bump is a no-go as it beaches on the sills.

How it currently stands:

 

[sideways danny]

Lower, than, yawwww

 

[Hutchie]

if it aint scrubbing it aint low enough. ripped my bumper off 3 times this week

 

[JoeyD]

Leave the height alone!

Get some better wheels...

 

[Ian_182]

It looks broke.Maybe needs some bigger wheels to pull it off.

 

[DrR]

Don't get all this lowness

 

[Sargara]

Don't get all this lowness

+1. I can understand if you live in US/AUS with amazing long flat roads but here in the UK with speedbumps and potholes that will buckle your wheel whats the point?

 

[Adam.]

Low is for gheys.

Why have you lowered your family car?? :S

Potholes can damage wheels, lowered car or not.

Why have you lowered your family car?? :S

Why not? Surely having a family would make it a family car. It's actually classed as a small executive saloon, I'll have you know.

I have some sets of wheels lined up in the next couple weeks for test fitting.

How much has it dropped whilst settling? I've just put my new coils on. I've put it 10mm higher than before hoping it will drop down..haha

 

[Sir_Dave]

Less money spent on coilovers = more money spent on buying a decent car in the 1st place?

 

[Gaz.]

Raceland coilies are about 10p so it's not going to get him much else is it.

 

[Dafthead]

Looks like the suspension has collapsed.....

 

[Addicted]

never understood why people go so low they cant actually use it for its primary purpose - driving!

 

[Sargara]

Potholes can damage wheels, lowered car or not.

LOL! But what happens to your slammed car when one wheel disappears a couple of inch down a sunken manhole cover? Thats the point i was getting at

As Gaz said, Racelands are stupid cheap. The car was also cheap. And IMO it is a decent car. Well built, reliable, goes well, sounds nice.

 

[marinemackay2003]

too low = no go

bet the ride quallity is mazin

Think it's dropped about 10mm in the last 4 days and 70ish miles.

Pisses me off when people say stuff like this. Mines jsut as low as this, maybe lower, and ive had no problems what so ever with driving it. I can get into multi storey car parks, get over any speed bump, it can still do exactly what your car can do!

Good start bud, height looks good What wheels you got lined up?

 

[Winston]

From what you wrote above your cars not low enough Tom

 

[will.clio!]

How about 20 Pence test?

 

[Josh93]

It's like a reverse auction, who's next with the 5p! :rasp:

 

[Wick]

How about 20 Pence test?

Is it me or is that "" implying you have half removed your sideskirt to get it to sit on the 20p?

(Or is it really that low?! *Awaits uber low pics to follow and to eat my own words)

Edit: Just realised your clio is the one on the orange Porsche? wheels...It is that low isn't it

 

[Harpham]

Low is for winners.

EFA

 

[Winston]

I had 50p but I spent it on a lighter before I took the pics

 

[will.clio!]

^^ That seems to be a winner, I'm a good £2 coin height from any wish bones etc

 

[2thumbs]

How about 20 Pence test?

Epic!

I'll take another photo tomorrow from underneath. And then I'll be raising it as it's currently rubbing something on the camber of the road.

 

[Jason_E]

LOL at all the nobheads in this thread. If we want to lower our cars we'll do it MMKAY.

MK1, no coin.
