Ralph1 Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Hi all,I fitted my coilovers today (have since taken them out) to get it out of the clouds. 55mm at the rear and 35 at the front it went down.cheersRalph Quote
ryan lang Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 how hard is it to fit bud?also car is looking good Quote
Ralph1 Posted April 30, 2011 Author Posted April 30, 2011 Took about an hour, not that hard really, if i can do it any one can. Just gotta get an OEM leather steering wheel, cheers for the comments.cheersralph Quote
Ryan5793 Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 looks tidy bud! love the reflet rear lights. Quote
starlet786 Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 looks nice lowerd mate but if am being honest i dont like the wheel..goood luck with this mate Quote
joel_ep91 Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 looks well mate but you said in your first post you lowered it on coilovers you dont have coilovers in the pic of your rear anti roll bar, hope you havent cut your springs Quote
Ralph1 Posted April 30, 2011 Author Posted April 30, 2011 Ended up taking the coilovers out, I use this car as a training car for my daughters on their learners, it was not a good learner car with them in, so back to stock.What, if any problems, have people had installing lowered springs with standard shocks? I have heard this places more strain on the original ones. Is it better to get a lowering spring/shock combo?cheersRalph Quote
Ralph1 Posted April 30, 2011 Author Posted April 30, 2011 Here is some more updates,Made a new parcel shelfFitted new dash clockPainted the grille behind bonnet, it was faded and grey looking.And painted the door frames. Quote
Ralph1 Posted May 1, 2011 Author Posted May 1, 2011 My old Tarago copped another flogging today, giving up the rear wiper, (it already donated the clear side indicators) it looks more modern and better suits the Scarlet. I will have to buy another one for the bus though. Thoughts on this mod??cheersRalph Quote
ro55ifumi Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 KYB Excel shocks and springs are good mate and fit easy, car looks sweet too John Quote
Guest Enzo Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 as hes said, yea the excel gs are cheap enough also and aparently 15% firmerbut what ive found tends to happen with lowering springs is the rear shocks go frequently, thats assuming you do 36000 miles a year expect to go through atleast 2 sets in that time if you live around a place with bad roads..

Ralph1 Posted May 8, 2011 Author Posted May 8, 2011 Got my side skirts (cheers Ben), put them on today, the fit is still not 100% up close but will fix that in the upcoming weeks.I am gathering the side clips you need to drill into the body, or use some sort of silicone adhesive? to bring the skirt closer to the body.Happy with them though, was going to rattle can paint them but they came up OK with a polish.....will do until I respray the car.cheersRalph Quote
