2i Lowering and various other quarms

Postby faster on Thu Jun 17, 2004 12:44 am

Alright,

1) What drop makes the 2i handle best. On springs and not coilovers.

2) Anyone suggest a make of strut brace that they know goes on without too much hassle.. i.e that actually fits.

3) How do I sort out the tappy engine? It's not terrible but a little smoother running would be nice.

4) And no-one replied to my question about the damn thing running rich, at least I think it is.. It smells really fuelly when she's ticking over, How do I sort it out??

5) And will it look better or worse if I take off the blue bump strips from the doors etc and spray them up on the bumpers?
I know it's a matter of opinion but I can't make my mind up.


Cheers people.
