Awesome Wheels. They do look a bit small though, front definately needs to come down.

I love my 9"s but I can't imagine 10"s & 11"s will drive too well. Anyone who drives my car moans about how it tries to follow the bumps in road and take the wheel out of your hands and that's with a 205 tyre!

No problem. Do you plan to do any events in it? I have a couple mates who drift E36's in the open drift championship.

I have a pair of part worn 205/45/16"s if you need any spares for skidding. There is slight damage to one of the beads which is why I haven't fitted them to road wheels, fine for a bit of drifting though. £30 just off junction 24

Looks a good project. I recognise those Borbet T's, are you in Bristol?

That looks very low at the back for 40mm. When I fitted my 50mm springs it was tucking tyre for a week or two then strangely raised itself slightly to how it sits now

Yeah looks like it sit's nice in your sig. How much is it lowered by? Is it on springs or coilies?

Very nice mate. Personally I'd raise the back a tiny bit and drop the front.

Not sure about this but I know a guy who cut the body of a 323 compact and welded a mk1 escort shell on.

By adjusting I mean rolling, then a few adjustment taps with a hammer. I'm running the same offset (15mm) with 205/40 on the front and 215/40 on the rear. 70mm front drop and 50mm rear drop on springs and I've already worn through one sump. Engine raise is next...

I'm running 16x9's and haven't had to touch the front arches but the rears needed a lot of adjusting, including the skin of the panel that bulges out.

*edit the collar just sits on 2 washers at the top of the shock unit?

this is the pic of the actual kit this picture isn't exactly the actual kit. Hmmm. So for the fronts the top of the shock unit is threaded which allows a collar to be screwed on. This collar is threaded which allows a threaded insert to be screwed on which holds the adjustable collars that act as t...

Nope, pretty sure there is no incorrect way to fit the spring. The ones you have fitted are either longer than stated or most likely stiffer for a heavier model.

I have 16x9 with et 15, 205/40 tyres, 70/50 drop. The front arches are untouched but the rears needed rolling. I'm now running 215/40 on the rear and they needed even more tweeking to stop them rubbing.

This is 70mm front, 50mm rear on 16" wheels.

Yours is sitting higher than standard so something is definately not right.

County Hall.... that's where I'm posting this from ;)

Well thanks for all your replies, it's back now & all seems fine. I dunno what he did but the light works, goes out when it's started & there's no leaks.

What goes in the hole you can see on the bottom left corner?

Yeah I will be checking the bulb lights up when the ignition is on.

Ok just had a txt from the guy doing it (He's a tyre fitter in the tyre shop below my flat - not a mechanic :? I would normally do a job like this myself but don't have anywhere to do it at the moment) He say's it's all fine now and the lights out... it just needed resetting. This has got me slightl...

Pretty sure I didn't run it low. I parked up & came back 10mins later to find it sitting in a puddle of oil. It wasn't started again until after the sump was done. It was losing oil as there's a trail quite far down the road but the oil level light or pressure lights didn't come on. The oil used was...

I didn't change it, I left it with a mate who has access to a ramp. It's the oil pressure light on the dash.

Just had my sump changed after cracking the old one. It lost its oil after I parked up so fairly sure no damage done then. New sump is now on & the oil pressure light is staying on... anything obvious to check and should I be panicking?

Cheers

Thanks, I definately prefer it without.

I'd say thats an equal drop front & rear as the nose is quite high. Maybe 40/40?

I have 70/50 on 16" rims and it's taken about 6 months to wear through the sump. It only catches on narrow country lanes where the middle of the road is high.

I was going to but I was up at Smeatharpe yesterday & at another meet at Brean this morning. Just can't afford the fuel for another.

I'll check the connections. There is some power getting to the motor though as I can hear it when I press the switch, time to get the multi meter out me thinks.

I have a similar problem. The switch is fine (although they will both be cleaned as the passenger side requires a very delicate touch to get it working) I can hear the motor clicking on the drivers side but no movement. I removed the door card & removed the motor to test it, as soon as it was free I...

Nice one, thanks.

I think theres a VW meet in the mini multistorey on Sunday from 5pm. Most makes are welcome & there's usually a bimmer or 2.
