Sorry. ASW over now. :homme:

Next inline after my holiday etc this month is 4 new decent tyres, alloy refurb and polarsed wheel and locking bolts.

Next [no specific date on the other stuff as of yet] :/

Kam racing gear linkages.
Poss new Supersprint mani #ijustlikenew
Bigger front calipers to fit under the S wheels
braided brake lines

Decent panel filter - ideas?

Maybe lowering but i have no idea what id go for. I like how it sits with the nose slightly lower then the front but want it the same but a tad lower. :/

Doubt il get it all as quick as others have done but i will..

good lad ;)
and maybe go lower on the back by 40mm and the front by 60mm?

rey 5th July 2012 12:37

Or go 40mm down all round from what it is now.

You'll keep the front down look, it'll look miles better, and it won't inconvenience you in any way.

R.E. brakes, 283mm's will go under S wheels ;)

Cheers Rey I'll have a search whats good etc. I dont want to spend a silly amount as its only going to be a road car but i still wouldnt mind some beefier brakes and it a tad lower then it is.

Are they off 406s? Really clueless with suspension/brakes atm so will have to have a read on them..

m11ler 5th July 2012 12:47

40mm would be fine! And then just get the torsion bar lowered so the rear is slightly higher still.

rey 5th July 2012 13:01

Tbf I had 266mm's off of a 206 GTi and they were by far better than the OEM brakes.

Bobo0907 16th July 2012 18:36

Seen this at scs yesterday and it looks real nice! Very clean, a load better than mine tbh.

Only thing id say is to get your wheel balancing weights put on the inside.

Just seen this! Thanks. :oops:

I need 2 new front tyres anyway so when i get them changed they will be going on the inside, might ask them to do the same to the rears as they do look god awful. Sorted my wind deflector issue ou! i should have my new ones in the post tommorow. Monday the latest. Oh and i broke my passenger wing mirror. Went to fold it and and i heard a nasty crack i thought nothing of it until i went to fold it out again. It flaps like a old saggy tit :homme: Looking at it, it must of took a shunt at some point.

Trolled ebay seen some none genuine Citroen ones and came across a genuine Citroen one. Now i had no intention of paying the "buy it now" at £25 + £5.95 postage :fcuk: So after work this morning i put a cheeky bid of £9 in. Min was £6 went to bed for 3ish hrs to found i won it.:A:

£11.95 posted for a new mirror anyone!? ;)
