My Lovely White 133 CUP

[neil_thomas82]

Well this is my first post to the 133.net I have asked a few questions from other users in the past.
Have a few plans for the little Frenchie

1: Racing cams
2: Full engine back exhaust
3: Remap
3: Brake upgrade
4: Coilovers

Already had RS Spoiler and colour match. ... What you think.

Got some serious plans there mate!
From what I can see of your car it does look very nice my advice is do the coilies first because they'll make the biggest difference, then exhaust, then cams and obviously you'll need the remap after those two and then the brakes last as they're the least important really because the oem brakes are pretty damn good already

Hi and welcome to the forum!

As parks above said uprate the suspension first in my eyes too!

As for brakes the standard discs with uprated pads seem to work quite quite well as that's what I think Yotah uses and his twingo is pretty much only for the 'ring.

Thanks guys... so why suspension first then?

It doesn't have to be but it makes sense to sort handling and brakes out before power

As your car is a cup even lowering springs make a difference as I've been in Parks car which is lowered on spax and that's great!

the BC coilovers make a huge difference and a few members on here have them as they are fully adjustable so you can get a setup to suit you

 

[neil_thomas82]

Yeah that's what I had my eye on those BC's are the dogs!

I may be highly bias, but these are good plans for a GW Cup.

The BCs are good. As I've learnt this week though, if you want to go quite low be prepared for accelerated wear on related parts :lol:

 

[neil_thomas82]

You'll do that, then want new wheels to sit right and then different wheels for track and all sorts lol

The BCs are definitely the way to go imo. I'm very happy with mine.

[neil_thomas82]

Oh god no its just a little project. . No track work

[poweller23]

[neil_thomas82]

Why is the back lower than the front? :lol:

 

[neil_thomas82]

It's just a mock up Waitey

When lowering, be ready to take out the hammer.

On the inside of the wheelarches there are some metal clips that eat your tires.. make sure to flatten them

Btw, welcome!

 

[maggi200]

Wasn't necessary on the rears with mine on standard cup alloys. Although this was before the rear was lowered further.
