SebringRS Posted January 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 My mates wanted me to do a photoshoot on some of the cars they have, so when they'd finished and got bored, I thought i'd take some more of mine Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SebringRS Posted January 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 And some of my mates cars too, nothing to interesting Mini is pretty much standard, so it the older shape polo apart from lowered.....the 07' Polo GTI is the quickest out of us all, 225bhp, no way i could beat him in mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SebringRS Posted January 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 And also my engine is now playing ball and being reliable, after changing starter motor, starter solenoid, earth strap, new battery, positive lead going to the starter, coil and dizzy cap Pretty quick too, deffo money well spent Waiting to get my twin choke carb back from being rebuilt, then can fit that, and also got new exhaust coming soon, 2" single box system Really needs a 5 speed, or a different gear ratio, as still only does about 60/70 and doesnt go any more Still, does some good burnouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SebringRS Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Looking good mate but FOOK me its like a bleeding 4x4 - GET IT SLAMMED...............NOW..........that's an order I know, its a problem thats being addressed Measured it up today, got plenty of room to go 3" drop at the front, still with about 2" ground clearance, and drop it 2" on the rear should level it off a bit Once i've got some money through ill be on the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SebringRS Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Wouldnt mind that GTI, your pretty handy with a camera same here mate, the GTI is lush, he took me out in it the other day, spins in 1st to 4th And cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaileyMex Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Word of advice, if you are planning on running 50 profile tyres, any drop you make will feel lower with them on, less sidewall flex and my cars lowest point off the tarmac is about 2.5"!!

SebringRS Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Yeah was thinking of going 175/50/13's Ill start measuring again tomorrow just to check ill still have clearance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaileyMex Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 it will sit low on 50's if you drop it 2-3", look awesome, but crap on speed bumps and bumps in the road You will need to also pay attention to exhaust heights and invest in motorcycle exhaust clamps as they sit flush rather than traditional U clamps Lost many an exhaust clamp to it sparking the road as driving before switching to bike clamps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SebringRS Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Im going for a 2" system soon, so will get some new clamps And im thinking more 2" now, as it still closes the arch gap up, just makes it a bit more useable leaving me a bit more ground clearance Although saying that, there is only one speed bump when i leave me house so might be ok, ill see Ill fit the 2" springs first and see how it sits, can always swap them over in an afternoon if needs be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
