I'm sure they are oil filled as a I remember searching a few years back and could only get Bilsteins from Germany
I got a brand new pair of front shocks off eBay for 40quid and I've used mk2 Clio efi rear dampers on the back, combo works a treat.
Saw your 11 tonight, looks great, goes well too ;)
Cheers Bud, founf pair of shocks on ebay, oil or gas filled £27 for the pair delivered, think im going to need fronts too.
Ah right, it doesnt look too bad, must try and pick it up from Mal's now she's been welded. Its all standard so not that quick and ride is slightly shady hence new suspension, better since had another steering rack fitted
My fronts were oil filled. Dunno what the Clio rear jobs are.
Apart from the naff looking paint she looks solid enough, Trust me mate, the handling can't be as shady as my 9 was :)
Naff paint?! - she only needs a wash! :rolleyes: yeah pretty solid for an old shed, even more solid now weldings been done, defo cant corner with confidence in her yet, corners like a sofa! lol hopefully its starting to come together now
Could do with a mop too fella, and there's a few little surface bubbles of rust but nothing serious. Looks tidy though, should b great when it's finished
Yeah, true to be fair it needs a mop as does the raider, just taking a while to get it sorted as on a bit of a budget and its third on the list after clio cup and raider, should pick 11 up sunday and get it mot'd soon. Hows the 9 bud? :)
I'm trying my best to kill it but it just keeps going, who's says C2J's are unreliable lolQuote:
