well as the corsa sold on friday got my self a new car, a clio 172 so id thought id better start a project thread

well took my car to work to give it a bit of a service, changes the oil and filter and the rest of the filters, had a good look round the car, doesnt look too bad for a french car lol. also stripped down the brakes and greased them up and gave them a lick of silver paint

anyway aircon wasnt working so hooked up our machine

mmm no gas what so ever

did a leak check and found a massive holes in the condenser so have ordered a new one and well as a filter dryer as that will be well saturated by now, should be here tomorrow

well springs came so got the car back on the ramps and took the front struts off
removed old springs

fitted the new ones

then refitted the front struts, wooo easy

rears took all of 2 bolts to drop the axle down the slip out the out springs and in with the new

after that i checked and adjusted the tracking and all was dandy

got home and took a few pics

the springs have still got to settle a bit more as ive only been about a mile up the road in them

hope you like

totally different car, love it but i different ways.

much more smooth to drive and handles so much better even when it was standard. feel more grown up driving it if you get what i mean

I had Apex's on mine looked good but drove like shite

If you are getting coilovers the only ones worth getting are H&R's or the new Koni Kit Mark Fish is developing but at 1k un fitted its a bit ££££
