VTISmichael Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Just got back from dorset, no real problems with her, there was a small judder at 70-80 i think one of the wheels isnt balanced properly. On the way back we stop for lunch in salisbury, when we finished i found a fn2 type r parked next to me, quite a few spacers but he parked next to me honda rep So i fitted the rear coils, typical the lower arm abs bracket bolts snapped off, quite often ive seen them cable tied so i followed suit Wound almost to the top,Also the rear arb brackets have dried too. Doing the front tomorrow, looking gd but already i think my wheels are gunna be a squeeze, deffo will need some rolling!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTISmichael Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 Coilovers fitted!! Went for a small drive and well it was very loud & bangy & scrapy (mud flaps) the fronts are fine but the rears are terrible, i turned the adjusters all the way to soft and still every little ridge or raised bit on the road it picks up, i rekon its coz they are would upto almost the top and spring is too strong dunno might try all the way to hard. Also i had to make the brake hose brackets, turned out ok, out of ally plate I found that front wasnt level so raised the passenger up by 20mm and the drivers by 5 mm, looks gd now Before: After: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTISmichael Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 Put my toolbox in the car tonight, the ride on the rear was better, so guess i need to 20kg bit weight as i think the sprongs are topping out the shock arms. What i could do it make spacers for the hats but i wont have a machine to use As im going to be travelling up and down from worcester at the weekends i need something a bit more newer, reliable, deisel, been looking at new cars but gees its such a con and waste of money, lease cars are even worse. So looking at at 06 to 08 2.0tdci focus's hopefully with decent mileage & cruise control. Everyone ive mentioned this too just keeps saying 'get a golf' but i really dont like them, i dont like passats either but they are quite a gd price now hmm..

VTISmichael Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 Well obveriously i looked at honda's but i need a deisel and the only thing is the 2.2 deisel accord but they a bit to expensive to run, i only picked ford ad they are easy to sell as most ppl dont know what cars are gd lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
