Gooner_Mike's C4 VTR+ HDi

[Gooner_Mike]

Stickers!

Kind of like the euro / VAG / JDM stickered look... so going to have a go with the C4. Have bought some already and just going to add a few a week until I'm happy really! Marmite-mod alert!

Nice car Mike, always liked the C4's wacky styling. Needs a set of alloys though, not a fan of the standards, what size are they?

Cheers pal. The alloys are 17" but look a little smaller as the arches are huge on the C4. They also weigh a tonne, so some people swap for light weight 18" alloys like the Team Dynamics Pro Race 2.

COILOVERS..... should I???

Got the chance to buy some used JOM coilovers for £130? Should I?

I have been reading LOADS about JOMs and mostly its good stuff for a budget coilover set-up. Anyone got experience of JOMs?

Few of my mates have had JOM coilovers and ive never heard a bad word about them... come to think of it i think its JOM's that are on my mk2 lol and they seem good!

 

[gezmeister]

Go for it! JOM seem good quality from what i've heard

 

[Damoegan]

Cant believe your asking, get them bought for that much mate...

Thanks chaps! Done deal. Will post pics once they arrive and then see about fitting them. Probably worth getting new top mounts for the fronts you think?

 

[Damoegan]

Yep, always fit new top mount bearings when fitting suspension

JOM coilovers

JOM coilovers on their way. Another ebay bargain. Look almost new TBH. Can't wait to get them on the car (but won't be for ages probably as very busy this month!)

Mike, just give a shout if you want a hand to fit. Looks like a doddle

I was thinking about having a go DIY style, but lack the tools. Might just take you up on that offer!

 

[m0rk]

No probs. Plenty of tools here

Cool car

There is a red one dropped hard over a set of team dynamic wheels rolling around my local village. Looks great.

Sounds nice. Team Dynamics pro race 1.2s, one day.....

WOW. Coilovers arrived today! They are in such good condition. Only been on the last car 8 months.
Springs and dampers all look good. Adjusters (front and rear) easily move still... so I can select ride height and won't have to deal with mashed adjusters. So tempted to put them on the car with the rear adjusters out! Dampers in good nick with no leaks.

Will obviously update thread when they are fitted!

got them coilovers on yet?

Nope, not yet! September has been manic at school, so hoping to find some time this month!

 

[Gooner_Mike]

Right, coilovers might have to wait a bit as I have an MOT in Dec and I think my discs and pads will need doing all round. Might just get some and fit them all along with the coilovers at some point!

Next mod is being picked up tomorrow though..... any guesses?

 

[Hartosh1]

I hate these guessing games Mike im hopeless at them how about a clue?
