Benno's UR197 & Meg 250

nice one mate..happy with your new suspension set up??

Love it mate. Bar one (very) hairy moment this morning where I was pushing it a little and hit a pothole, lost all grip and the car snaked a little more than I would have liked...however I'm putting that mostly down to tyres. Was a clean pants moment though for sure..

Half tempted to Powerflex a bit of it just to tighten it up a little more, but overall it's insane in (dry) cornering and doesn't lose much of the 'standard' ride.
 
happy days...go for it..i like my powerflex inserts..well worth my money..plus you can do most of them yourself..
 
Little update...lots of things ready to be done!

Had a nice drive down to the English Riviera this afternoon for some new shoes (shame about the weather..), Clio had its first long stretch for a little while, didn't skip a beat.

Big shoutout to @G8RSH for the Sparcos. Really looking forward to getting these on for Bedford! **Better picture coming tomorrow**

Decided on AD08Rs just because of the sheer popularity of them so they will be on order first thing Monday..

Hopefully fingers crossed the weather holds up for a few hours tomorrow for a wash and polish, see if I can fight a bit more with the repeaters to get the new bullets on too...

TRACK-WHEELS ! Good man :smile: Look really nice too. Plenty good enough for some track-hooning.....

I'm confused though. You went to the English Riviera to get new shoes - but 'they will be on order first thing Monday' ?

Or are the shoes the Sparco's ?

Os are the shoes the Sparco's ?

Yeah I see what you mean....what are the Sparcos then....feet?:excited:

I will be able to easily get my kerbed 200s refurbed now and still have the car on the road! Spacers might have to be removed though judging by pictures of the fitment, the Sparco's really fill the arches!

Will see in the long run whether to keep both sets, not 100% decided as of yet, could all depend on a Ktec cage or a set of Corbeau/Recaros popping up on eBay for the right price. Don't think I will be making any major purchases this side of Christmas though, unless I need to of course..!
 
when are you fitting them??any protection going on too??

Tempted to grab some of the spray @Big Ben was on about, just until I have the kerb marks sorted, then will probably get some of that Gtechniq and do both sets. Will be fitting them on the tyres they're on next week at some point, but if I have the time tomorrow I might whack them on and see what they're like! Will probably stick them on with the Yokos a few days prior to Bedford to wear them in a tad, but I'll drive up with both sets of wheels. Good/bad idea to drive up to Bedford on the Yokos?

Nice rims bud! You will not be disappointed with AD08R I promise

Cheers mate, really looking forward to seeing the difference!!
 
They assetto garas?

Look great :smile:

Sure @G8RSH has a wheel emporium!

Yep! Cheers Chris, shame about my awful photography...didn't realise the photo was THAT bad until I uploaded it..weather was awful so didn't stay for long but his car looks spot on, credit to him.
