Can't wait to get these poo wheels off and the white turbines off Flan 8)

I've had a problem with my Gmax springs since I got the car (one side is lower than the other) and was wondering if anyone has any idea what sort of lowering springs I would need to create this ride height again....

Looks like its down -35mm to me.

Get the rear seatbelts out if you're stripping it they weigh loads.

yea i know they do but its all hassle at MOT and sometimes, unfortunitly the seats have to go back in to take more than 1 passenger :x

Very clean..wheels are rubbish though....turbines look better but you know how much they weight! :shock: :wink:

Fancy a pod visit some time...I hear this car has a chance of my record?

sure thing. Was thinking of going down tomorrow but the weather is crap and I want to make sure I got as much traction as possible. Plus I am still waiting for my speedo cable so I can drive to swansea and let Craig set the verniers up correctly. Clio Mk1 parts :roll: Yeah, they are weighty wheels but im not too concerned for now. I modified this valver because of the video that you made of nana and had a passion for the mk1's 8)

have you removed the strut and stripped it down, could be a broken spring or fecked damper

cool, it's just a shame you dont have nana anymore. I would have loved to race it down pod. I don't think there's much point in giving the Throttle Bodied clio a go :lol:

yes I have. Both coil springs are intact but must be a problem with front springs and/or shocks....Projectvalver (who I bought the car off also told me it was fine until the suspension went on). Need advice on new suspension really

there is also my record for stnd throttle body to aim for 13.89@99.3mph

We should try to get a few clios down....I think a few from clio16valver are doing next sunday...if the weather is good I might venture down.

Good effort in the video mate, was a perfect pull away and 13.89 is definitly a good time! I may be up for next weekend if I have a speedo cable by then :roll: Bearing in mind, I will probably be getting mid 14's as I am running standard Williams ECU and the vernier pulleys are all over the place :lol:
