Review: Eclipse Custom Campers

[Phantom]

Hi All

Credit where credit due and I am quite difficult when it comes to cars etc!

I was recommended to Ian @Eclipse Campers by a good friend who loves his van more than life itself and has tried and tested a few conversion companies.

Had a "Switch" conversion and few other bits but seriously impressed, Ian's attention to detail and quality components makes his work absolutely 1st class. He is based in Yeovil Somerset and highly worth a look at for all van work if you are after a top notch quality finish.

Hi All

Just had B14's fitted by Ian @Eclipse Campers and what a difference it has made to the van!!!!! One thing I will say and I think Oli @BognorMotors has said this before that the two things I would do to a van are 1. Revvo map and 2. B14's! My van has had a fair amount of work to it but these two things have transformed the van to make it perfect for what I use it for! Huge thank you to Ian as brilliant job as always and very happy with outcome! Slightly annoyed he didn't put them on in the first place instead of 40mm springs!!!!

I can't express how much more enjoyable the van is to drive, I always regretted buying a 102 but not so much now with these two upgrades!

Kind Regards

Nick

And the air filter

 

[BognorMotors]

Really transforms it though

Revo have tweeted the map to work better with their air filter, which allows more air into the engine.

As it’s down to me, Ian owes me a beer then ;-)

'What does the air filter do..?.'

At this rate I'll owe everyone a beer. Thanks for the kind words Nick and.beer coming Oli's way.

Cheers

Oh bugger I can feel this at work again:



How did this forum manage to create a black hole in my wallet

 

[nobbyq]

are b14s much better than h4 40 mm springs ? as my van looks better but the ride is crap on bumpy roads

 

[Eclipse Custom Vans]

H&R? Yes the B14 coil over kit are significantly better and I'm sure you will notice the difference.
Cheers

@Phantom, it cleans the air going into the engine so that it doesn't take dust and other cr*p into the cylinders.

yes, yes, yes, and yes again.

Looking good @Phantom. Now when you come past me on the Motorway I'll not think there is a black hole between the top of your tyre and the bottom of the wing.

Other crap into the cylinders? Yes, that bits best left to the EGR valve.

Night and day!

What is their highest setting. I don't want it any lower than the 40mm H&R springs but I have to agree it's a bit crashy and bumpy on standard suspenders with lowering springs.
1 thing I noticed was when I had it unloaded last week of my work tools etc it was terrible, back to spares and tools loaded in and much more stable but still poor suspension.
