wouldnt mind looking round your car too, youve got the same seats as me, pattern etc. I bought another RSi interior of a guy on here lunner, im gonna have a go at retrimming them, not sure what colour leather, was thinking black and cream, or white and orange, any sugestions.

car does look good on the turbines, tho i did like the teens.

havnt seen that green clio on here before, very clean phill 99.

Sweet, have you seen the *cough* Max Power/Haynes Clio?

They used RSI seats and retrimmed them in cream and black to match the dashboard.

Its looked great TBH.

Orange and cream would clash IMO.

Orange and black maybe?

Take a wheel off and measure it yourself mate.

Its the only way to be sure random whether you have 52mm or 54mm.

Some have 58mm hub hole spacing too.

yeah the gap distance on my phase 3 sport model is definitly 58mm as Darth Oli has sed so get checking!plus if you want uprated shocks either koni or KYB suspension are the only companies which offer upgrades (with 58mm gaps)!

Mate, are you sure about it being a Mk2 chassis?

Does that mean you could fit coilovers for Mk2 non-172/182 on a phase 3?

What the hub hole spacing on a Mk2?

i spoke to someone at spax when i was at work about a month ago and he sed although mk2s have the same distance, dont get confused and order these ones as it will not fit!thats what he told me so not sure to believe him or not!

the sport models were the latest mk1s out i think so they may have the same parts as a mk2!

Check this out people!

Meddy - I think you should go lower:devilish:

Looking forward to seeing the flared arches when finished.

Beatjunkie - go for 55mm, the ride should be ok with the Koni shocks.

Yeah but your paying for quality.

I dont get the notches thing TBH. I presumed you just take the bars out, lift the hub up to whatever amount in millmetres while the cars jacked up and put the bars back in?

I had my rear torsion lowered to match the front springs exactly (-55mm) but want to go lower all round now lol

maybe 70mm at the front on coilovers and 65mm at the rear:cool:

BTW, Did you find out about the ABS?

aaah fair enough when i had mine done it was either one click-25mm or i think next was -45mm not sure though but it looks loads lower on the back then the front!!so i wanna level it up!

cant wait for the konis, either adjustables or uprated cant decide yet!
 
M

meddy-clio

No, only a Kenwood two channel amp:oops: it does have a fan though.

I cant remember the model number but it only powers the 15" JBL sub.

Its a fairly cheap setup TBH but its enough to satify me.

I badly need some decent fronts though.

Sony speakers = w**k
