[joesouthgate]

About £1200 odd tpft with quinn direct. would be about £980 without mods. But i pay monthly so every time i add mods im not sure how much the total it tbh.

 

[Simonh]

and what mods have u declared if you dont mind saying

 

[joesouthgate]

all of them, but my insurance company only asked me to tell them about ones that affect performance

 

[Simonh]

so other mods dont matter?

 

[joesouthgate]

not too my insurance company no, but most others are bothered.

 

[Tom Messy]

I'm supposed to declare my MSC stickers and change of wheel trims :doh:

 

[joesouthgate]

stickers maybe, but i wouldnt worry about wheel trims mate!

 

[Tom Messy]

lol you're really lucky with that though.

 

[joesouthgate]

yer i know! I rang them to tell them about something or other and they just said we don't care unless it changes performance!

 

[Tom Messy]

That's Quinn wasn't it?

 

[joesouthgate]

Yep, they're pretty awesome really, don't care about aesthetics and I can drive other cars with owners permission even though I'm only TPFT!

Primered the spoiler yesterday:

 

[Craig]

Do you have something against being from South Wilts??

Nice job, have those spiderwebby thing disappeared alright?

 

[joesouthgate]

haha lol no north wilts actually and that bins wrecked i spray everything on it lol . Yer I just but a bit of filler on the spidering and sanded back, has come out okay, just having problems with the bloody weather now, it has rain spot marks in grr

Well spoilers fitted, paints a bit #### but I don't have anymore so it'll have to do grr

And my new 50-55mm lowering springs just arrived....just have to wait 4 weeks now till i can afford the dampers and panhard to fit them with!

 

[pjg1979]

Spoiler Looks Great ! ! What's a Panhard? Guessing some sort of tool.

 

[jim_bling]

no its an adjustable rod that keeps the rear axel in line as he is droping 50 mm the axel will be out of line but a 35 mm drop is fine on a standard panhard rod it attatches to the chassis of the car and to the axel

 

[NeX]

your car is now crying for a respray, it will look so awesome with all the little colour differences sorted

i would go for a slightly darker more metallic green, maybe something like black but with green particals in it,

 

[joesouthgate]

i know it is NeX! But for the mean time i'm upgrading bits before they need replacing! Then i'll worry about smoothing etc!

 

[Optispart]

it looks the dog goolies!

 

[joesouthgate]

Its awesome! Got 9.17 seconds on the 0-60 timer when i used it first. And found that i'm averaging 30mpg :doh:

U'll need a turbo to beat me

 

[joesouthgate]

[NeX]

does that mean i get the old springs back?

 

[joesouthgate]

yer if u like mate. I've got to wait for new dampers and panhard before i'm fitting them, which will be 1-2 months at this rate.

 

[Optispart]

love it!

 

[joelh]

how much was it Joe?

 

[joesouthgate]

Cost me a total of £110 to get here. nearly 100 delivered and 11 customs charge.

 

[joesouthgate]

Laguna splitter to go on:

Will be pretty close to the ground when it goes even lower

 

[Optispart]

damn ive been looking all over for a laguna splitter they well suit!

 

[joesouthgate]

aparently you can get them from renault for about 15quid i think. I picked this up from a scrappy.

 

[Optispart]

arr cool, how much was it from the scappy?
also ive ordered my remote central locking like yours lmao!

 

[joesouthgate]

was a tenner from scrappy. good stuff mate (Y)

 

[Optispart]

ill have a look at my scrappy for that price! cheers pal

 

[squarepants]

you shouldve got a renualt espace one there 3" deep and the same style as a laguna 1998 onwards with the vents

 

[joesouthgate]

i think i'll be low enough to the deck as it is ta squarepants Maybe for shows i'll get one!

 

[squarepants]

ok lol...i think i front spiltter is next for mine. i keep saying i will get one lol i want a renualt megane one...there not that deep, but imo they go with the lines of the car better. altough saying that a espace on could be on the cards for abit of depth to go with my side skirts...

 

[joesouthgate]

Cool At least french cars are good for something ay

 

[squarepants]

haha yearh

 

[joesouthgate]

Fitted the splitter:

Getting lower

 

[solarice]

what the splitters distance from the ground?...mine at is lowest point is currently four fingers and a thumb wiggle :laugh:

 

[joesouthgate]

dunno thats why i put the bit of wood there to try and show. once its lowered another 10-20mm then it should be getting pretty close

 

[b47to]

getting better and better every time i see it

 

[joesouthgate]

cheers mate (Y)

 

[solarice]

yup, youre gonna have to start watching for speedbumps

 

[joesouthgate]

I know :doh:

 

[joesouthgate]

Just checked and at the lowest point the splitter is 11cm from the ground

And lesson of the day...If you're going to unplug things then make sure they're secured out of the way :doh:

Just ordered some new dash LEDs as 1 of mine was flickering grr

 

[curtis]
