Ibiza 130 TDi Sport - 11th August - Splitter + Yellow Film

[suj]

you use the C-Spanners to move the collars, they act like "a ratchet" or a set of "mole grips"

 

[BigWill]

awsumz I'll get that done tomorrow

 

[suj]

little tip, you can count threads to get it level, but never works for me

so what I do is get the about the height I want, then get a measuring tape, (on a flat surface)
then measure from the ground to the arch (going through the centre cap, so it's in the middle) and try and get each corner about the same, otherwise it will handle she-ite (obviously a proper "corner weighted setup" is the best, but I cannot afford the price they charge )

 

[BigWill]

aaah, i was thinking of using a fluid level on the bonnet before and after.... but that sounds a bit better, thanks dude

 

[dervpower]

Thats a good idea on the leveling Suj! I need to do that.

Don't think i'll be going for banded steels, love them but just not got enough money at the moment!

Will - How low you going?

 

[BigWill]

As low as the thread takes me looks about 10-20mm thraed there so tee arch will be flush with tyres hopefully

 

[suj]

no problem both will's lol

yeah i know mate, when I priced them up, I could get some awesome lighter wheels, then banded steels, just save up and get some awesome wheels

 

[dervpower]

Not long to save up till Edition

Just need to sell the D90s, you sold yours?

 

[suj]

yep, guy is coming tomorrow to collect

time to get a DSLR

 

[BigWill]

schweet you'll get some tasty pics with one of those

 

[suj]

yep mate, been wanting one for ages, I end up blowing the cash I save on wheels/wider lips lmao

 

[JordanMk3]

Any updates dude?? It's been a while since an update so I thought I would ask lol

 

[Scott-o]

Agreed more updates needed! One of my favs!

 

[dervpower]

Well no real updates to be honest guys.

Car cut out the other day in the middle of the road... Alternator went and caused an elec issue which was annoying. Thats all sorted now though.

If i'm honest i've fallen a little out of love with it, and thought about selling and buying a crapper of a car as i'm now back at uni... So don't have much spare cash. That means they'll be updates for a while. It does need a wash though...

I'll probably go out for some photos soon so i'll post them up then.

 

[adam kelly]

Don't forget about me Im up for some pics of cars

 

[suj]

sold the wheels?
running standards now?

 

[dervpower]

Still have the wheels. They are back on now as the tyres on my sport wheels were illegal. Not in great condition to be honest!

Adam - I'll let you know when i'm back in Nottingham... Up in Sheffield now at uni again.

 

[rod the sod]

hey, i going down the d90 route got 8j all around, wat offsets are yours and wat adapters are you using?

mine are ET53- i am going to run 30mm on front and not sure wat to run on back (was thinking mayb (40-45mm).

cheers

mate

 

[dervpower]

Nice one! Offset wise ET53 for the 8J and ET51 for 7J or something like that...

Spacer wise i'm running 20mm all around, but really want 30mm up back! On the front i'm running 195/45/16 and so scrub, guess depends how low you are but I would advise a 195/40 depending on how streched you want it...

45mm spacers are the rear would look sweet, but suspect you may need 195 on the 8J to get enough under the arch?

Let me know when you have them, be interested to see what they look like a facelift ibiza!

 

[rod the sod]

hey man, i have tried them on with 30mm on the fronts are backs and looks ok but as i have 195 40 tyres i need the bigger adapter to fit under the arch!

i am nt sure whate coilover to get! i am currently running weitec without the adjuster caps but they just arent low enough. was thinking along the route of air but its just so expensive!

have you got 312 brakes? how much room is there?
