how much is the torsion bar adjusted by? and i presume eibach pro kit dampers and sportline springs?
just asking because I want my car to sit as nicely as this. What is the ride like?
#49: Re: The GiT 180 progress thread, aka KiKi Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Sun Jan 09, 2011 10:36 am ---- I think the rear is lowered 8mm and yes, it's pro kit dampers and sportline springs. I've had someone else in the car who also has a 180 and he said it didn't feel that much harder than standard 180 suspension. You do feel bumps if you go over one, but for normal driving about it's not uncomfortable at all.

#51: Re: The GiT 180 progress thread, aka KiKi Author: Ruffy_206, Location: BristolPosted: Wed Jan 12, 2011 3:59 pm ---- something to do with the boot?
#52: Re: The GiT 180 progress thread, aka KiKi Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Wed Jan 12, 2011 4:06 pm ---- very much so I've tallied up materials and it could be quite expensive so I won't be doing it in a hurry. So far i've spent £38 on a Makita Jig Saw (apparently used once and is £150 in B&Q?!?! Fingers crossed with that one!) £2.50 on tape, £1 on crap sand paper and £3 on fleece
#53: Re: The GiT 180 progress thread, aka KiKi Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Fri Jan 14, 2011 6:35 pm ---- Today I bought the boot carpet for the inner wings and the trim panel that covers the wiper motor for £7.50. Oh how i love u-pull-it!
#54: Re: The GiT 180 progress thread, aka KiKi Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Fri May 27, 2011 9:52 am ---- Well the audio thing is out the window for now. I decided I needed to get some new tyres, which is a better priority. AJ's wheels were up for sale so I bought them off him and they came equipped with 2 Pirelli P-zero's and 2 Bridgestone Potenza's! Perfect! New tyres and a new colour it was to be and I'm quite chuffed with the result, the tyres are brilliant, I have the Bridgestone's on the front at the moment.
#55: Re: The GiT 180 progress thread, aka KiKi Author: JamieM, Posted: Sun May 29, 2011 4:58 am ---- Looking good Brian! Much better on the stock wheels! 180's look best on them, even if they do reduce the ride quality to bone shattering lol!
#56: Re: The GiT 180 progress thread, aka KiKi Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Sun May 29, 2011 9:20 am ---- Cheers Jamie! I'm actually waiting on the other 2 wheels being powdercoated, so I have silver ones on the other side at the moment and have been running them for a while. Decided after a few years of ownership with OZ's it was time for something different!
#57: Re: The GiT 180 progress thread, aka KiKi Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Wed Jun 08, 2011 4:29 pm ---- Got my other 2 wheels done and some Poorboys wheel sealant applied everywhere!
These are now on the car but car's dirty so never took any pics and I know...I still need to re-apply the badges
The car is now sporting some Bridgestone Potenza's on the front and Pirelli P-Zero's on the rear...it feels like a totally different car compared to before! Super-chuffed!
#58: Re: The GiT 180 progress thread, aka KiKi Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Wed Jun 08, 2011 4:38 pm ---- Wheels look good mate
#59: Re: The GiT 180 progress thread, aka KiKi Author: Ali_H, Location: Chichester, SussexPosted: Wed Jun 08, 2011 4:50 pm ---- It's amazing how a new set of tyres can make it feel like a different car and a totally different driving experience!
#60: Re: The GiT 180 progress thread, aka KiKi Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Thu Jun 09, 2011 7:23 am ---- Cheers for the comments guys!
I've also just bought: an Alpine APF-D100PS from G.
and I've finally managed to get my head unit to turn on with the ignition! YAY.
