The first Mk1 ph3 on coilovers..

[Remedi]

to my knowledge anyway

Last week lol

Today!

Only one pic but i'll take some proper ones sometime this weekend.

The handling is awesome and the ride isn't too harsh either! I also had my brand new Brembo Max discs and Pagid fast road pads fitted just last week so it's a joy to drive now

Before i left the garage i spotted these two cars waiting to have some work done...

 

[Nafoff]

nice phot's mate

your car looks mint..one of the nicest non valver/williams's...you should be proud...nice motors in othe pic to

 

[Martin]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaamn, that looks looow! Good lookin

 

[AmirClio]

dude that looks awesome!!!! where did u get them from and how much were they??

I WANT!!!!

 

[Remedi]

thanks peeps!

I can't really afford to run a valver/willy or 172 so i'm making the best of what i can drive

Amir, they were £330 delivered from 2modified.com

 

[AmirClio]

Not bad at all mate, mite have to invest in some for the beast!!!

just bought a spare cylinder head that is being ported and polished so will have to wait a while i think!!!

lol
looks mint tho well done!!!

 

[nathanH]

nice one dude, wish i had gone for coilovers now.

 

[Maxx]

Looks ace , have you got the camber *cough * sorted yet?? how much did mr Gerald Dale charge for fitting??

 

[Limca]

woooooooohoooooooo looks sexy

 

[Remedi]

^^not exactly Maxx...

I bought some camber correctly bolts from K-Tec and they had no effect on the camber angle according to Gerald.

Apparently the mk1 FKs are designed to give a negative camber and the only way to adjust it is to modify the actual hub strut!

and the price *cough* £160 (bloody torsion bars!)

 

[Maxx]

Bit of a bummer getting those bolts then :/ car looks great anyway

 

[Final Maxim]

bitchin, get loads of pics this weekend dude

 

[Remedi]

^^will do, cheers for the comments folks.

 

[Remedi]

Some better pics as promised, nice and clean

It must be lowered about 65-70mm approx, loads of thread left!

not sure what i'm going to do about the front camber, i'm worried about the tyre wear

 

[Gray]

That looks AMAZING.... ive got a MK1 PH3 RSi, and i am planning to get it lowered in the summer

 

[beatjunkie]

looks the shizzzle mate!!!im in the same boat as you mate cant afford to run a valver/willy, thats a well good price for coilovers, paid around the same koni sports shocks wish i had 54/52mm hubs!!whats it at the back now 3clicks?

the tyre situation looks expensive tho!

in a word tho 'quality'

Ryan

 

[Remedi]

cheers

The back is slighty lower than before (55mm), 3 clicks is about right i think.

The k-tec camber adjustable bolts i bought did feck all!

 

[beatjunkie]

i was gonna buy them bolts but glad i didnt, yeah i might go a bit lower at the back soon as mines still slightly higher!!

 

[ollie_yesclio]

top stuff that mate. best phase 3 on here in my opinion.

well done

 

[dutty_112]

very nice mate!!! looks mint

 

[Scott]

looks great now

 

[Day]

Looks awesome Oli

My favourite Mk1 - above all the Valvers and Williams's

 

[Ruffneck]

not sure what i'm going to do about the front camber, i'm worried about the tyre wear

Take it to Supertracker. They sorted mine when I had it lowered.

 

[Final Maxim]

looks sweet as mate, do you still get crazy understeer in 2nd when takin a corner?

 

[Remedi]

^^understeer? what's that lol

It's such a [FONT=verdana, geneva, helvetica]cliché but it handling like it's on rails around long flat corners.

@ Day's comment!

Ruffneck - i'll look into it, cheers.[/FONT][FONT=verdana, geneva, helvetica][/FONT]
