Good news Nick has out done himself again well ita taken long enough after saying they will be here last year they are finally here..




These things are sexual and I cannot wait to get them on might even have some late night building...

Only thing is I can't even start fitting them until wed night

 

[lewishunter98]

They look brilliant, be keen to hear your thoughts on them once fitted etc

Started by removing the tops as normal..

But come in to some trouble

As I couldn't just press down like before
So had to remove their


Had to take a chunk out ..

[Cliosport-carl]

I'm unsure whether to put the covers back on I probably will..

went out yesterday in the car with the Mrs and asked if she felt what I did with the shocks. When I fitted the top mounts I only had time to go round the block however took a drive to a pals house and back. I felt because the Springs where under more compression they felt better it wasn't as crashy as before it felt like the shocks where doing there job properly regarding the caster adjustment the roads have been rubbish and wet to have any real test with high speed cornering but this will get gone at Donington next week. Tomorrow I'm going to check everything over and get the covers back on to protect them from the elements.

love it!!!! Can’t wait to see it in next week

What do PMS say the max camber is?
From the photos it looks around 3 degrees

 

[Cliosport-carl]

"The innovative design of these top mounts allow a fixed caster adjustment of 1 degree using the alternative stud mounting holes so the top mounts can be moved backwards. They also allow around 1.75 degree of extra negative camber adjustment (on top of the OE negative camber setting). " however I also have the Powerflex lower mounts which also allow 1.5 degrees of camber so yeah would be over 3 degrees @Big Ben

 

[Cliosport-carl]

I'm sure if i ask nicely @trackspec197 will bring his camber gauge and take a quick measurement just for fun..

 

[Cliosport-carl]

Done some finishing up today and some checking for next week and of course gave it a good old clean..



And I've also got a little thing I'm doing..

 

[lewishunter98]

Grills look good mate, I plan to do the same on mine. How have you gone about doing it?

I bought some cheap ones of Ebay for a test cost about £8 for bother sides just incase I want to do both. Then used a rotary tool and just cut it out..

Grills look good. How do they fit considering they're so cheap?

I haven't tried yet buddy I'm looking to get the bumper off to do something else first but also when they where sent out one was broken so that one is actually a practise run.

 

[Cliosport-carl]

What a shit one... after someone saying my map sensor holder was fitted incorrectly I decided to put it right..

All good yeah...


Looks spot on..

Well it was running rough and when I opened the bonnet and heard it sucking like a hooker on payday......



Found the issue though.. so got a new one on the way..
