South Wales Cupras Chat

[davidol]

they arent that bad! you sure they are fitted correctly?

 

[Jonzy]

Yes theyre fitted correctly, theyre just ****.

Probably wonderful if I drove a nazi staff car on ultra smooth 'bahns, but **** on the high quality roads we have here in wales.

 

[acidstrato]

they are pretty high quality arent they

 

[davidol]

i dont think matts complaining about the quality of the units themselves just the rate of damping involved, they are a hard ride and i do admit they can cause the wheels to skip and hop meaning im putting the power down later than other cars (and cupras for that matter, noticed against karl on the way home from the pod, daz obviously had the legs with his k03s but mine was much later putting the power down over uneven roundabouts vs. karls)

 

[rogers]

i think il be waiting till jst after xmas to buy sum coilovers,

 

[acidstrato]

i meant the high quality roads dude

 

[acidstrato]

noticed against karl on the way home from the pod, daz obviously had the legs with his k03s but mine was much later putting the power down over uneven roundabouts vs. karls)

so that must be one of those excuses you were telling me about in the queue! HAHA

i need some wanlis

 

[PhilW]

I hate my coilovers. Worst thing i've bought for my car.

 

[Forbez]

Thats why i haven't fitted mine, Phil! (LOL )

Whats up mate, is it the clunking sound??

 

[PhilW]

Still clunks on the drivers side quite nasty, and some small clunks now and again.


Gonna tke it off soon to look at it.

 

[Forbez]

Thats a bloody pain in the arse, do we know its just the ibiza this happens on, or is it, a FK problem?

 

[acidstrato]

mine are perfect tom...i dont wanna say it...but it could be a fitting problem?

just a theory but did u use new strut tops which came with the shocks Phil? i know daz did
but i never got any with mine, so i reused my old ones

 

[Forbez]

Carl did you fit yours yourself?

 

[acidstrato]

nah mates garage fitted it for nothing basically so couldnt be arsed

but i know how to, i told Daz how to lol

 

[Jonzy]

I used all new top mounts with mine, and the spring on the drivers side still unseats itself.

Im planning on putting the standard stuff back on saturday with the new mounts. Its not a black mark againsts the product, they just aint specced up for UK roads.

Gunno look at matching up some koni dampers with springs.

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Nah Carl, I reused my old top mounts. Get it right!

 

[Jonzy]

Just had 5l of 5w40 silkolene pro-s delivered, hoping this will cure my tappy engine

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Was anyone interested in the RR day at powerstation that Martyn mentioned?

 

[Jonzy]

Ill spectate but not run

 

[Martyn]

*****!
