Am saving for ma 195/45/14's, from camskill.co.uk there £41.28 Falken ZE912 or £50.17 TOYO T1R PROXES but off to see ma local independent tomorrow to finally get tracking done an price for tyres. Then the real scrubbing might begin :earmuffs:

silly question you be getting 14" wheels then yeah ?

Make sure they are 6j, that's the minimum you need to run 195 tyres!

People on FF , generally rave about Uniroyals. They are pretty cheap too!

ming

i run the Falkens on my cinq and seriously can't fault them

cheers for that mrcento, read mixed reviews about them but not overly keen on the toyo's since ah had them on ma original sei. Av not tried uniroyals or falken so think it could be the falken first as the uniroyals are bout £54.

Ah bought these ones 6x14's http://fiat-scotland.com/fiat/upload/showthread.php?10971-fiat-14-quot-speedline-alloys/page2 although they hav 165/70/14 rubber on so they're bound to rub with that profile.

My front dampers are a goner, going to get the FK kits. How long did you wait for yours? i really need them before sat!

Thanks
Ming

Took about 8days ordered on thurday am delivered friday am following week. Good service from Venom ah thought :grin:

That is no good, got an autotesting event on the 27 March, got a pair of Gmax from the local cinq's legend will pick it up tomorrow! kinda a sign of relieve!

Thanks
Ming

do you mean rallycinq or is there another cinq legend in glasgow?

There is only one, rallycinq it is .They were Gmax shocks, don't look pretty but no leak so will do for now

Ming

Any update on this mate ?

ah did wonder about Alaina, may have spares from burple.


Anyways, a wee update, not done much to it lately, fixed the front washer motor that's bin faulty since October 15min job :rolleyes2: should have done it earlier. Found a few roads about Carlisle that need taken with care, the feeling of cobbles coming through the floor isn't the best :stop:

Still not had chance to polish it yet, but looks pretty good after a good wash with Megs Gold Class shampoo.

I've got some black vinyl for the B-pillar, FiatForum and Fiat-Scotland sticker to add next.

Rich

one more, as you can only attach 5 per post View attachment 1458

Man tidy that, did you cut much of the bump stop?

That is fooking low, if you want to make it lower visually, paint the black sills the same colour .

Are those 165/55 tyre yeah ?

30mm off the bumpstops, there ain't much of it left, infact it looked a bit like this View attachment 1459

na tyres are massive 175/60/13's that the previous owner fitted. Still saving for ma 14's still got the arch liners out atm, gona refit them this weekend but recon the 14's will scrub as much as a saturday night bog troll :jester:

looking through ma old phone photo's, this was the cosmetic damage caused by my ghetto style bodge at fitting the springs View attachment 1460 bought spring compressors and done it right.

Didn't mention in the previous reply. Ah decided to fit new standard bolts on the suspension kit and have it tracked. Gona drive it for a month or so before fitting the camber bolts, just to feel how much of a difference they actually make. What a difference in size though, View attachment 1461

Ahh thanks for the pics, did you cut the rear down by 30mm too ?

Think i better go cut mine tomorrow .

Thanks
ming

not as much, bout 10mm but next time it's ar$e is in the air am gona cut a bit more off

I asked rallycinq the exact same question, he said best to have the bolts fitted, then get the tracking done after!

ah drove it for too long after fitting the suspension really before getting the tracking done. had massive speed wobble gan up an down the m/way the few times ah did. even round town, take yer hand off the wheel an it dive toward the kerb. thankfully runs pretty sweet now

Not managed to get the B pillars done this weekend either, but did get one addition View attachment 1462View attachment 1464 and a good wash and polish :grin: didn't take any pic's other than this View attachment 1463 not bad finish really

Lovely work that! is the rear window tinted? Some reflection you got there!

See could you check for, how much dampers travel you have ? Just lie on the floor and feel how much of the piston you can feel.

Mine is lowered by 40mm with aftermarket dampers but a non-matching set and am only getting around 1cm-1.5cm which seems little. Just want to see how much you are getting.

Thanks
Ming
