whos tried the pinnacle soveriegn then

Mr Phat i think you will need TEIN stuff or you always wish you had bnought it :lol:

mine are set to 1 turn and a half from soft, all round and their lovely :wink:

its a piece of pi55 kev 8) go for 8's all round what the point of having 9's if you got such strict laws "I think" if u buy RH's they come with adapers on some wheels anyways, def come with spacers... cheap way of making 1 wheel for many applications

Not this again. Credit where credit is due. The Clio 182 is a fantastic car, and aside from some of the usual french quirks, is surprisingly fast, very agile, and a very good looking car. This car doesn't deserve to fall under the usual badge snobbery routine IMHO. driven one,,, and their still poo.. they make go fast but dont feel fast when yr driving.. i was jus pi55ed off abt its poor build quality and dash rattling,,, was so funny that the cup holder and indicator stalk were already broken and it was a brand new car. turn the ESP off and it jus handles like a lump of poo too was actually relieved to get back into a rado after my renault experience but Jim used to drive a saxo so anything's fun for him :lol:

if it rubs, it will still rub after u done the above and the ride is flipping STIFF like backbreaking and you WILL get a head/neck ache on long journeys... its not worth it mate... handles amazingly though... if u need a key, try venom or koni direct or the usual suspension outlets their quite easy to find tbh... if i find a spare one will send it to you,,,

haha you got wasted by a french bucket.... their pretty quick mate.. dont worry about it.

thats phat liking the rescue kit,,, best mod for a rado ive sen in a long time

cheers dazza, glad to see you approve :lol:

i wasnt saying the FK coilovers would be for yourself... TEIN is wat you need if they do an application for your machine http://www.tein.co.uk/index.html saw their stand at Autosport and was very very impressed with what they do and what they want to achieve

i thnk FKs are cheap coz they ahvent spent s**t lods in testing and development... jus stuc together somgood bits that actually work really well... whereas someone like Koni has spent a lot of time and capital into research and development.. but i could be totally wrong been out in a car with AVO's and i thought there were flipping awfull hmm, good point, never looked at it that way!!! but surely, if they were as good as koni's, then why would koni supply them with their dampers as it'd only mean they are losing out on more profit which they could make from selling their own branded gear? actually, when you look at FK as a brand, they just seem to be marketing other people's kit anyway. I'd like to compare some FK's directly with some Koni's and see just what difference there is. all I can see at the moment is that they don't have the specially wound springs that koni's have (the koni;s get woder int he middle so the don't get coil bound as easily as a "straigth" spring would) koni would surely get profit from FK, as per vol of sales FK are making... also they would save money from manufacturing, design, advertising etc etc has FK would do their own so maybe when you add all this up koni are probably doing quite well just supplying their bits... tbh i had FK AK on my car before the koni's and the front are very good on the FK much like the koni's but much softer ride.. good for day to day driving but koni's win on overall handling... the rears the FK's didnt go low enough and the grip wasnt as good as the koni's... BUT for what they are and how much they cost i would buy the FK's again if i didnt want to go as low... the koni's are far superior but all depends on how you drive your car and what you want from it.

i know highsports will go low enough for most corado users i think its 100mm max drop thoug... but there is a certain point which you will lower past when it starts to affect handling,, buy tbh its not much and you will have to make a sacrifice between looks and handling,,, also depends on the suspension system... using koni's mines slammed to more or les max drop the corrado can take and its glued to the road,, if it ever looses grip its always the rear anyways

try it

Autoglym is sh1tt Pinnacle is "meant" to be the dogs, but never used it so dont know anyone got any sample bits of swissol i could try could even do a swap for some stage 2 diamondbrite... would be nice to pass round some half empty bottles so we could all have a try after we've had enough of a certain wax/polish... has I for one hardly ever finish a bottle, always get thrown into the back of the garage and replaced by something new and improved

i thnk FKs are cheap coz they ahvent spent sh1t lods in testing and development... jus stuc together somgood bits that actually work really well... whereas someone like Koni has spent a lot of time and capital into research and development.. but i could be totally wrong been out in a car with AVO's and i thought there were flipping awfull

quite a peculiar looking corrado,,, im liking it though

billinjahg60, dream on :lol: joker daz for that OEM+ looks your def right there

3k would be what their worth on paper,,, doesnt take into account the supply or DEMAND of the particular car... E.G something like a fiesta could be worth 700 but becuase its soo popular for example it could sell for lots more... there are cars out there also which sell for lot less then their worth as their is no demand for the brand/car... parkers or RAC doesnt take into account the diversity or demand of the car within the certain season,,, obviously a corrado would be more appreciated during the summer months and could demand a better price/value...

wats the point of having a car u cant take anywhere especially to work!!!! sorry but if a non member read this thread he be calling you all idiots :lol:

see that corrado gixxer posted with 301's that a perfect corrado imo

nice rado man.. really liking that the tt isnt too bad either

i used to use gold class but i like the #3 carnuba finishing polish by them a lil bit more tbh

bill shouldnt u be busy buying more crapp off ebay :lol:

they do loook good but theirs better out there,, their are always better fish's in the pond :lol:
