Ignis number 2

[LIL B]

What "lows" setup are you running?

 

[Daniel]

I never said you weren't comfortable and I never said you were gay? You getting a bit paranoid there?

Seems like your familiar with their lingo and it's getting a bit to graphic for me now so I'm out.

Because you're scared.

I understand.

 

[Jay.S]

What "lows" setup are you running?

Gaz coilovers.

Which are a piece of s**t.

Are you ok?

Leave OP's thread alone with your pointless posting of nonsense..

If you just said "Dont particularly like the look of the car personally but each to their own GL"

Would of been better..

 

[Matt W]

Such cool little cars, don't they have comically over spec'd brakes due to homoglation rules?

 

[imprezaworks]

Is someone posting instead of josh lol, allways come accross, well, not like this

 

[ChewyB]

I don't mean harm just in a worky mood and fancy a bit banter lol

 

[Mr Burns]

Gaz coilovers.

Which are a piece of s**t.

How would you rate the ride on a scale of 0 - 10, with 10 being luxuriously comfortable?

 

[Jay.S]

I'd say at first it was a 2 but now I've reset them possibly pushing a 5. There bearable anyway.

I looked back over the history on sisoc and found that 3 members have owned it and the Gaz coilovers have been on it a while so they are well overdue a refurb which wont be helping.

I'm thinking of putting them up on sisoc for swaps with a standard set up.

Hmmm... Tempting!

 

[Jay.S]

Hmmm... Tempting!

It's just the knocking which is doing my head in but at the minute my broken exhaust is drowning that out. Lol.

I'm in 2 minds do I throw cash at it replacing some suspension bits or just cut my losses and sell it for what I paid.

 

[Mr Burns]

Your choice dude.

Pm me if you decide to sell the suspension

 

[leeds_182]

Not for me but I'm sure it'll be a good winter hack.

 

[banther]

I have been tempted by one for so so long.

Only thing I dislike is that horrible webbing in the recaros.... can you just chop it out?

Trying to decide between one of these, a ph1 or a fiat 100hp.

 

[brisa4984]

I too don't see what everyone else is seeing. The red 197 was great mind

 

[Heez]

I think that's the appeal. If you get it, you get it and you love it. If you don't, you're just confused. Get a go in one and it may sway you as I was a little meh till my mate got one and I've just found them funny since!


Also lol at already "enquiring" about coil overs. Only a matter of time till it's dropped on some ProRace3s and it's being abused on track!
You modded the air box yet?

 

[Mr Burns]

It's got a K&N on it or something, it sounds pretty good so I'll leave it

 

[Mr Burns]

Eibach springs are on their way

In the meantime just a quick pic with my SLR...

 

[George Welsh]

I really like the engine and the box shape but the rear suspension design is criminal and limits the potential of the car.
Apart from that cracking little car.

I'm inclined to agree, although they perform better than most people think anyway

 

[George Welsh]

In hot greek bumpy tarmac the rear was very twichy without going that fast. I first thought that it was tyre pressure issue but the owner confirmed my feeling.
Maybe in the UK with better quality tarmac is better.
The engine though is a gem
I was that close to buy it when new.

 

[Mr Burns]

Ooops, I've accidentally made a couple of purchases...

 

[LIL B]

The old set of gaz' from ignis sport owners? They looked ropey.. The dampers ok?

 

[Mr Burns]

Yeah they seem fine mate, I know him too so can't see him ripping me off.

 

[BoatNonce]

The Ignis suffers from S1600 syndrome.

It was a S1600, it looked really cool as a S1600, and I want one. Even though it's not a S1600.

 

[Mr Burns]

These pics aren't actually new, I just forgot to update the thread. Wheels are on but I'm going to wait to fit the coilovers when the weather warms up...

Pretty pleased with the Ignis to be honest, it's nearly everything I need from a car although I do hanker after a second car again (which is what I'll probably end up doing). I'm still undecided whether to take this to the 'Ring or buy something bigger with cruise control, perhaps something like an estate that I could get the bikes in easier.

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Looks nice and clean Ste, a subtle drop on the coilovers and it will look spot on imo

 

[Mr Burns]

Cheers dude, it'll stop quicker too once the weather sorts itself out lol.

I'm looking at another on eBay, I might have two lol.

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Ha you collecting them mate

 

[Mr Burns]

Well, I've had 4 Clio's... Maybe it's a bad habit I have lol.

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Ha, you sound like Chi

 

[Martin_172]

sounds like you suffer from the same issue I suffer with the twingo...
it does everything I want/need it to, its such a giggle to drive but as much as I love it, it feels wrong to love it and I find myself endlessly looking at mk1 Focus RS, Clio R27's etc as it would seem normal to own it when I had something else as a toy lol!!

 

[Mr Burns]

Nail on the head, Martin!

I'm 33 years old and after owning various Clio Sports, including a mint 197 and a Civic Type-R... Instead of 'growing up' and going for something more mature I'm driving around in an Ignis instead, and really enjoying it! They're absolutely peanuts to run, so I can save for a house (or New Zealand) at the same time

As you say though, I'm regularly trawling eBay looking for something 'better' lol.

 

[daveski]

I still need to drive one.

 

[Mr Burns]

Still not lowered yet as the weather has been too sh1t, although it did stay dry long enough for me to wash it....

Got a full set of uprated discs and pads ready to go on too now

 

[Ali]

Good value! But they look fcuking horrid!

 

[Heez]

Good value! But they look fcuking horrid!

Lies.

I'm starting to stock pile things to get done before MOT in April as well lol

 

[MarkCup]

I'd forgotten just how pumped up/bulging all over these things are! Looks great!

 

[mr bognor]

Cant get on with the looks my self .

Are they the same drive as the Swift sport or better ?

Alan

 

[Matt W]

Looks great!

Agreed! They just look like they should be driven flat out down little side roads covered in mud all the time.
