Awesome! (Money pit! ;))

I had to go back a couple of pages to see what mm your spacers were. Your 16mm look as wide as some on 20/25mm :S

Re: my clio 172 winter project ( nearly finished )

Thats what i was thinking mate . They got 16 mm stamped on them :/ probs to do with the offset of my wheels they dont rub at all which is good . I cAn honestly say the car feels more planted in the corners also
 
  clio 172 phase 2
Re: my clio 172 winter project ( nearly finished )

Well the rears rub pretty bad as it is at the mo . So want my arches rolled
On the rear then 10 mm camber spacers i think

Re: my clio 172 winter project ( nearly finished )

What process is involved in arch rolling? Seen a few people mention it on here but I'm unsure what it is :eek:

Also if you think it's planted now then wait till you get that RARB :)
 
  clio 172 phase 2
Re: my clio 172 winter project ( nearly finished )

They heat the arch up mate then use this tool that bolts to your hub and they swing it back and forth intil the lip is flat pretty cool actually :) i found vids on youtube .
Looking forward to the rarb heard nothing but good with them handling wise the cars good to go then

Not too sure mate . Havnt looked into prices and stuff as yet theres a guy local to me that does it he drifts in the bdc drift championships hes got all the tools for the job so thats a bonus .

Also lowered the front and rear too get the stance right still think the rear needs to go down a touch .

Loving the front though looks well mean now :)

Also rolled my rear arches with the correct tool a big hammer haha.

Get my tracking sorted now and some
Camber bolts then full alignment to get the best out of it .

Bad news;
My coilovers have been on the car for 1,000 miles and the osr shock is leaking im absolutley outraged at this ! Il be ringing gaz in the morning and demanding a full refurb on the rear . I had nothing bad to say about gaz intil now .

Thanks for looking
 
Re: my clio 172 winter project ( nearly finished )

great look with those spacers, nice trick the rolling thing, i didn't know such tool existed, i needed that a while ago, when i modified some steels... and Ahhhhhh those wheels men, love them (again)

Re: my clio 172 winter project ( nearly finished )

small update .
il be gutting the rear of the car 2moro as i wanna sort out the rattle coming from the panels . think ima leave the interior out for a bit see if theres any noticable diffrence. also need to get my tracking re done as ive adjusted the height .

also my cars developed a misfire im certain its my throttle pedal as its goin into limp mode . so need to purchase a replacment .

2moro il also seal my wheels to make them easier to clean as there a right mare of a job to clean at the moment.
ive also purchased some super blue brake fluid will bleed the brakes at work with a pressure bleeder .

i have also been looking to sell the car but im just seeing roughly what id get for it il more than likley keep it though .

so got a busy few days :)
