trolow plus 2118's

[Chris205]

For the haters

My trophy on Gaz coilovers and brand new anthracite 2118's and hankook rs2 tyres

Just a little comparison, I love them both though

Anyway I like it, when I want some fun I will put the sachs back on it but thats it, atm its all about the show

 

[Greeny.]

Looks looooow, love it

45 profile tyres?

 

[Jon.G]

Where's the exhaust? & why is it missing a bolt from the front wheel?

Can't believe you have two

 

[Revels]

Have you really put Gaz coilovers on a Trophy?

 

[Chris205]

Have you really put Gaz coilovers on a Trophy?

No I lied, ofcourse I have you plum. If you read its just really for show, I've got the sachs to send off for a health check and when they return I will use the sachs when I want to rag it around a backroad, which really wont be happening this year

Going for the stealth look mate

I dont the other is my mates, I wish I did though

 

[Hixle]

I want to love it mate but I'm going to be honest and say I'm not sure! Maybe it's because it looks so different to what I'm used to seeing...maybe.

Fair play for doing something so different though, I can hear Trophy owners sharpening their pitchforks already

 

[Silent_Scone]

very nice

 

[J.W]

Looking good mate, I bet you where out of puff pushing it back into the garage though ha ha!

Got the tyres on mine but not gonna fit them until the alignment is done.... Hopefully next weekend if they can fit me in

 

[mossyv6]

Love it!!

Its all good fun mate. I know what you mean, it's hard to love because it's different but I like it

 

[d4nmc]

Gotta be honest Chris mate, I'm not sure. I've looked at it long and hard a few time and all I can come up with is... It does look very good with the lows and new wheels, but I think it might have looked better standard.

Tbf you have both so it's win win, and changing between setups depending on the use its getting you can't go wrong. What would it have rolled like on your trophy suspension with slightly bigger tires on them wheels?

 

[Feirny]

Doesn't look right. Though I am a Trophy purist, looks nice and clean though, I must admit.

 

[Christopher]

Hmm. Unsure.

 

[Turkish]

Trophy on s**t coils and played out rims, I'm out.

 

[Chris205]

Absolutely loving the hatred for it either way It's only for looks really. Yea the wheels are now common and it pisses me off as wen I had them on my ph1 they weren't as common.

I didn't actually want 2118's but the trophy wheels were sold and I couldn't get the speedline 2110 challenge wheels I originally wanted.

I've got the best of both worlds though because the sachs can go on whenever I want a play

 

[Triki]

Fair play !

Remember it's your car, you do what the fcuk you like.

 

[ScarySquirrel]

Were you joking about the stealth exhaust?

 

[toomer]

I like it mate!

 

[Chris205]

No mate went for those donky dick style ones that blue 182 had on it

Nah in all seriousness my engine is fucked and I've got a k-tec supersports to go on but will be doing that once the new engine is in, then I can actually drive to a nice location and get some propper pictures of it. The haters will come around to the idea of a low trophy it will just take time

 

[Chris205]

I like it mate!

Cheers mate I will get propper pics up soon of it once its alive again

 

[Austin-182]

Lookin good dr pick, people are allways going to hate a trophy on coilovers lol

 

[Matt W]

I like the wheels.

 

[wallis_172]

I love it mate! Once u get ure exhaust sorted it will be perfect!

 

[Chris205]

cheers mate, yeah got the k-tec to go on just need it running first and get my uprated exhaust mounts on there

 

[Cliotoby]

what do you make of the RS2's?

 

[Gally]

2118's are win!

Coilovers are not. One way to ruin the best thing about the car though.

 

[kev182cup]

Well done Chris all that's left is to put a 1.2 engine in there and a bodykit made of plastic and you've completely ruined it. Lol GAZ are the worst coilovers I've ever rode on EVER would you like to bounce along the rode sir or shake to death today? Lol

 

[Sir_Dave]

Haters gonna hate.

Its waaaaaay too low Chris lol. Annoying Trophy owners is one thing, but scraping the subframe on the floor is for the scene gimps imho.

 

[Christopher]

2118's are win!

2118's are ugly, heavy placebo wheels.

'Gotta get some for my track car"

Oh yeah, spend all that time stripping a pairing back a track car, only to add 4kg's to the unsprung weight. LMAO.

Lol atleast I've got the choice mate when I want to rag it I'm going to put the sachs on it

I didn't say they were good wheels, they are one of the best looking wheels for that "look" that people go for.

You have a toe eye nipple ring yet your car won't see track, what's the difference with putting 2118's on other than circa £500!

 

[Sir_Dave]

The funny thing is, my Trophy sees more circuit time than most of the 'track cars' on here, yet is relatively standard, & still has the rear seats in it lol ...

Track days. People missing the point since time began.

 

[Revels]

Lol atleast I've got the choice mate when I want to rag it I'm going to put the sachs on it

LOL!

So before you decide to take an extended drive on a Sunday morning, you're going to fit a new suspension set up? LOL!!!

 

[Chris205]

No however I have no intention of driving it hard this year but next year I will be using it to full effect so will have the sachs on.

Tbh I could drive it just as quick on the gaz suspension I just don't think it will feel as adjustable as the sachs

The point people aren't getting is I haven't put these coilovers on to better the handling just for show and the fact I'm just going to be pottering around in the car and hopefully enjoying the fact it runs

 

[Revels]

I don't see the point in having a car like that if you're not going to drive it hard. You don't put remoulds on instead of decent tyres do you?

I'm no Trophy purist, I couldn't care less if you put pink wheels on it. I just think it's silly to take the Clio with the best standard suspension on and ruin it.

 

[Chris205]

I've got hankook rs2 tyres on it. Like I say I didn't put these on to make it handle better regardless of the cost. They were cheap with relatively no miles on them so why not.

The reason I'm not going to rag it around is the fact i haven't had the propper use of it for 6 months due to failing engine's so I don't really want to risk driving it hard and crashing it, I can still drive it quick as it is I just don't think it will be as good as the sachs.

 

[kev182cup]

yeah i know i wind ya up chris but i think your wasting money that doesnt need to be spent. id of gone for a mark fish set up on the sachs and got a decent exhaust, done. a car you could use all year round with no f**king around changing stuff over.

Lol I completely agree mate but I had eibach sportlines and granted it handled great especially with the whiteline on the back but I just want to enjoy the low looks, I'm going to switch them bk just no time soon

 

[Munson]

Toolow more like. Or Trololl

Not a fan. Then again I can't stand decked cars anywhere other than a race track. What's next, one of those tow straps with a sticker reminding you where the towing point is?
