What have you done to your car today ???

[eon172]

Finally got it MOT'd and laser aligned. Great to get it on the road after over a year off. Just need to do more testing and book a trackday....finally!

Oh and maybe get around to doing a build thread/blog.

 

[Mar172]

Ordered powerflex rear beam bushes .

 

[Mr Plums]

Kissed a photograph i have of it hoping that it wont be much longer with Andyrg at clioturbo hq.

 

[ALD]

Ported another 182 head

 

[bloke]

finished fitting bang and olufsen cams (can't remember the real name but that's what keeps popping into my head) new dephaser, light weight flywheel, clutch, epas conversion, pms shifter and glued the engine mounting back together

 

[newb]

Had a play with DA polisher and some megs 105 and 205 on bonnet. Visually looks great and nice deep reflection however didn't really shift all swirls but maybe I was being unrealistic about what a DA could do. Lots of fun though. Crap I phone pic but tool some on girlfriends camera which are better quality.

 

[newb]

Destroyed engine. suspect a dropped valve will check in morning [emoji24]

 

[Damon65]

Ouch. Given it a minor service and fitted s/s catback

 

[Addicted]

Drove it to the shops and back.

 

[DefJester]

Fitted a new set of dust caps as some delightful scamp seems to be borrowing the previous metal set

 

[tom172cup]

Removed about half a tonne of gravel dirt leaves from the side skirts while taking the wings off for ready some new ones to go on

 

[Ethan1996]

Sworn at it and wished it would just sell quicker. On the plus side, full set of mats and boot mat have arrived for the new car which I should pick up tonight!!!

 

[richardhilton590]

I had to remove the tree sap that stuck to my car when I parked under a huge tree. I didn't know the place much so I simply parked there. What I did was to rub the spots with wet cloth and applied small amount ethanol on those spots.

 

[JD_RS172]

Fitted a ph2 interior to my ph1 today. Dash still today but my fingers will bleed if the touch another screw or bolt.

Couple of iphone pics so not the best

 

[..Jack..]

Drove it back from work after leaving my mates van back at his house

 

[gex23]

Cleaned the shed :

 

[ed55j]

Fitted stud conversion kit and new set of 595's today

 

[The Russian.]

Cleaned the shed :

Wrong.

It's a house. You cleaned 1 window.

 

[gex23]

Poor

 

[Gavin.]

Jet washed the new blue seat belts.

 

[car.crash]

Fitted track wheels with federal rsr tyres and ds3000 pads ready for donnington.
Hope it doesn't rain to much as they suck on a daily in the wet.

 

[..Jack..]

Reversed it 5 metres and decided to walk instead.

 

[roryb]

Drove it to work today, now photoshopping it lower

 

[dann2707]

Dangerous thing to do, I did that and now i'm wanting to spend £850 on coilovers for it haha

Inappropriate tbh.

Unless you decide to fully track I don't see the point.

Cup shocks & cooksports tested by me and a few others and can highly recommend.

Add cup wishbones and have the geo setup and your smiling.

How much is that in total overall though?

I've rather go for coilys as i'm after the adjustable height too and intend on going to the nurgerburger ring a few times next year. And from what i've seen I don't think cooksports don't give that much of a decent drop. Just my opinion however :smile:#

I was always under the impression Bilsteins were the best compromise for road and track use.

Seriously it's worth it.

The height is not mega low but will be perfectly acceptable for your driving needs.

The drop it self isn't that bad @Sunglasses_Ron (if you could post a picture of yours if you will )

With everything setup including the geo with cup shocks, cooksports and wishbones it was around £500.

What are my driving needs? I'm going to the Nurgerburger ring twice next year

That's a decent price though. Still though, for that price i'd rather stretch a little more for coilys.

A fair few people track their cars with this setup.

There is a thread on it somewhere.

 

[KitsonRis]

Put more touch up coats on the rear bumper. Need to get that drilled and then put on the car

Still waiting for a good spell in the weather so I can use the G Techniq C4 stuff my brother kindly got for my birthday!!

 

[roryb]

Dangerous thing to do, I did that and now i'm wanting to spend £850 on coilovers for it :smiley: haha

Tell me about it, after seeing how good it looks lower i cant wait to have the money to get some springs! £850 a lot of money but springs save yourself loads!

Ooooh they're actually only £772 on kamracing! Not bad really

 

[roryb]

WooHOo £78 thats a half decent night out tbh if i did have the money to spend on coilovers i would, thats only if i had enough /or had already done exhaust etc

 

[Mr R.]

Bilsteins are £740 at larkspeed.

 

[Chi]

Billsteins are good but think I prefer BCs

Took mine to the ring with this setup. Handled fine apart from crap tyres!

Check my project thread for ride height pictures with 25mm front and 15mm rear spacers. I have standard wishbones though an as with the spacers I was catching the front arch slightly so had to chop some off. With more caster it would have been worse.

15's on the front 10's on the rear would be perfect, with more caster the 25's will be to much.

I had the sam problem.
