I'm surprised no one's mentioned the benefit of the coilovers being height adjustable though, so if you're solely doing trackdays, you can tinker with the corner weights. The fronts have camber adjustment built in too I'm led to believe?
My T is on Cup dampers and crappy lowering springs and I'm considering what's the best plan.
I don't think the price of new Sachs will ever be reflected in the car's value, so what's the general consensus - fit a decent set of coilovers, or leave it on the Cup dampers but swap the crappy...
That's a pointless test. Mine's maintained to the highest standards, but waiting til the rear discs are changed to adjust up the handbrake.
Can't see the problem with a Trophy having done an occasional trackday. If it's maintained well it shouldn't make any difference.
If you don't think Clios rust, get yours up on a ramp and have a look. I was surprised how much surface rust was starting off around the rear suspension, and there's a box section on each side that was also starting to go. The floor was perfect where it had been treated from the factory.
I jet...
What isn't made in China and sold here for profit these days?!
I've had first hand experience on the rolling road with one of these kits before and after, and it did genuinely make more bhp on the top end...whether or not you'd notice it on the road. Their remap did however make a noticeable...
I can now do 45mpg on a 60mph 3 hour run after my remap at KTEC, was lucky to see 42mpg before.
Averages about 36mpg overall, even after giving it the beans.
I can sense a bit of OCD cleaning coming on this weekend. If they don't scrub up I'll look into the 172 belts but that's gotta be approaching 100 quid for the whole lot?
Thanks all.
Does anyone know if any other Clios came with black seatbelts? Mine are really grubby and won't clean up, so I thought would be a good mod if an easy swap.
