ArosaEdd Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) Hey guys, im Edd and im new to clublupo and to driving I'm 17 and passed my test this time last month since then i bought myself a little 1.0L Arosa so here goes the factsInsurance £1400 for a 17 year old was unrealMillege is sitting at 107000So here is my little orange arosa, the day we picked her up and rushed to halfords to get a touch up pen...Within 24 hours my dad had won me some banded steels on ebay for £150 with 2 tyres it wasnt a bad buy, they were advertised as 8j all round and when we got them home we soon noticed they were staggered 7j fronts 8j rears, which was exciting.Within days of that we discovered a blowing in the exhaust resualting in a whole new exhaust system...Since then i built up the courage to lower the car so i bought some 'AK FK Street Coilovers' after a couple of days of them sitting in the box it was time for fittingDuring fitting we experienced huge problems with the front camber and had a huge pull to the right when letting go of the steering wheel but after all that we sorted the problem and it sat like thisSince then we have noticed even when springs were at the same height on adjustment the car would sit at different heights we don't know why so if someone could clear this up it would be helpful.I plan to lower it more but i am still getting used to the huge change in ride after lowering, other then that thats it for nowPlans for the future are.Swap rear lights for lupo rearsGet LED Reg lightsWhite headlight bulbsMore lowsWheel refurbishmentHope you enjoyed reading the start of my build thread and any comments/advice would be greatly appreciated Edited September 30, 2013 by ArosaEdd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Great little first car. My Arosa sat uneven when lowered on fixed springs too. Let the handbrake off and see if it makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Don't worry about the coilover threads being equal, just adjust them so that it's even side to side. Measure the floor to arch height. Will have to let it settle between adjustments though. The car has different weights on different corners, gearbox, etc, so that's why it won't be even.
