the cavelry........ :) (sound of horses hooves and horns in the background)

sorry, seriously hijacking your thread mate :( just for a laugh, i'm going to measure all four corners on mine in a minute - should get a good spread of results!
-
do you reckon stretched tyres makes a difference to ride quality? i suppose it could go either way really? does it feel any different when the tyres are stretched?
-
yep they do (work out the weight distribution, not just drop it in!) on a left hand drive car. the conversion to RHD compromises that balance i would think. just my opinion though. you have a 25 litre washer bottle? fek me.
-
Exactly. I have always assumed that it is a compromise due to the car being designed as a left-hooker? It would be more balanced as a LHD with the drivers weight cancelling out the engine weight bias.
-
how is the weight of the engine, that is sat towards the driver's side, mainly toward the passenger side? and in relation to the engine, those ancilleries just don't weigh alot at all. sod all.
-
mine seems to be a completely different height at each corner! i can also feel my front left shocker moving on full lock! nice
-
er..... not in mine. the engine is definately towards the driver's side mate. and apart from the g/box those ancilleries you list weigh fek all. i have never seen a vr sagging more on the passenger side.
-
the top mounts can also 'stretch'! my passenger side mount has stretched by about 10mm!! or perhaps i should say its been pushed up?
-
also it depends which side you measure! the drivers side is almost always lower (the ones i've seen anyway) due to the cars being RHD. the engine and driver are both on, or biased towards, the right hand side, so that side's suspension tends to sag more over the years.
-
Like trig says, the distortion is more likely the speakers being underpowered than overpowered by the head unit. An amp that is too small will lead to clipping and therefore distorted sound.
-
never! 12v rebuild and charger for me :) i'm really fighting the urge to buy a nitrous kit too!
-
lol thanks though bud. advice of any sort always welcome :)
-
Think that is Mr Phat's isn't it? Could be wrong though obviously. Undoubtedly THE best sounding C ever. Absolutely hard as nails. Thats one 24v that isn't silky smooth! I would gladly test anti-inflamatory drugs for that engine/car/noise :)
-
so what are the purple and black rears i've seen in the pics darren?
-
he's also the man that will be selling em to me!
-
Howdy. Anyone using or know anything about KW variant 1 coilovers?? Or Weitec Hicon TX 'Plus'?? Anyone other than the guy who's just about to sell me some that is ;) The KW's seem to be very well rated in Germany, but they have decent roads! Any info would be greatly appreciated. Ta. Will Edit: are the rears on the KW variant 1 kit coilies? On the pics i've seen they don't look like they have a screw thread for height adjustment? Or am i just chicken oriental?? :)
-
to save a hundred quid? YES!! :)
-
also looks like my work van is out the window as i have to get it insured. and again, that is next to impossible with a claim pending. so now looking for a local job. aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
got to get this claim out the way first and see what happens. bar stewards :(
-
The engine code comes into it when registering the test on the computer. i see. my bad. i did obviosuly realise that you can't get an 8v with an r32 engine etc!!
-
but does it mention the engine code? god knows
-
do we still qualify for the 5% CF discount if items are shipped to jesrey mate? (no VAT)
-
and that will just leave the 50 hp nitrous kit ;)
-
yeah i'll ring andy in the moaning. that sounds like my kinda price mate. if the truth be told, i would quite like to do a 24v transplant, but i also love the hell out of the 12v so its all good :) when i can sort the charger, and get a peloquin shipped over, i'll be sorted (and having a complete mare with insurance at that stage!)
