as there's no marking etc..

yes chrome, thats right. If you look carefully, you can make out a raised bit @ 12 oclock position, that indicates where to position the dial.
having fun yet?

chrome

ohhhhhhhhhhh yes
I just drove back from Pod...

Pod>Market Harboro'>Melton (via langtons- what a great road!)>nottingham

the first 2 sections of that were fun fun fun!
oh, and 1.48 bar via the AVCR helped

ta Chris- see you sunday
(any recommendations for damper settings in that neck of the woods?
(currently running 2 front, 4 rear)

Barnesy

Running mine at 3 front and 6 rear, nice and tight just how I like it
On the rears there is a black arrow @ 12 o clock above the dial.
Car feels so much better now, feels very similar to my old 106 gti, going to get my geometry done in a couple of weeks.

agree with andy, got some footage i'll upload later of my car in action.
4 front 8 rear, didnt feel that hard on the track, but felt great in the corners.
chris.

chrome

whereas I found 4 + 8 too hard and it promoted *too much* oversteer on mine; but then I'm using a 24mm rear ARB..
3+6 seem to work better with my chassis mods..
oh, and an ALK makes it sooooooo much better- understeer? what understeer?

Barnesy

Yes, agree with the above on the track. I didn't get any understeer, plenty of oversteer though

Huxley

We had ours set on 3 Front and 6 rear but then my Gas discharge HID bulbs fell out of their holders in the headlamps

And err indraws complained about her ***** bouncing too much


So now on wuss mode 2 Front 4 Rear as for the shocks in general the are well worth the money

chrome

I use 3+6 can I borrow yer wife to check ?

Barnesy

Nothing wrong with bouncing *****

ditto chromes request, my wife has lost some weight recently, so not as effective in that testing department
can we have a group buy on huxleys missus testing ability

Huxley

I'll see what I can do

Huxley Chick

I'm more than happy to help with your requests for suspension testing































....as long as you can afford the fee of £150 + expenses

Wonder Wagon

Okay then who's in on a group buy of Huxley's wife boob testing services

Barnesy

Cheap at twice the price

Anthony's_Scooby

Anyone had problems with there shocks since fitting them?

I seem to be getting a noise from one of the rear ones, it can only be described as a escaping gas. Its not there when the car is stationary and seems to go away as the shock warms up ie have drive a few miles?

Any ideas, ways to test?

Thanks Anthony

chrome

fine here.
sorry- not much help.

no probs here, just adjusted back to 3 front, 6 rear for the "raid across the border" run on sat/sun
How about getting it on a rolling road, and getting someone to jump up and down in the boot?
