Sounds like a right Chavmobile to me. My mind boggles at how totally ****ed up the handling will be after a 4cm drop and 3 inch increase in rim size! -- Steve H 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' http://www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - MZ ETZ300 VW Golf GL Cabrio - Alfa 75 TS - Alfa 155 TS Lusso - COSOC KOTL BoTAFOT #87 - BoTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC # |

The handling is actually very good thanks Steve, it corners brilliantly with the stiffer suspension too. Regards, Nick -- www.mobile-unlocking.org.uk Unlocking all models starting from £5 |

I've played with lowering and bigger wheels, and almost always it results in a car that handles much worse than as standard. The only exception was my Cinquecento which had a stupid ride height to begin with. Note to anyone going to view the car: check out the front bearings _very_ carefully as they tend to get knackered very quickly when you play around with suspension / wheel relationships. -- Steve H 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' http://www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - MZ ETZ300 VW Golf GL Cabrio - Alfa 75 TS - Alfa 155 TS Lusso - COSOC KOTL BoTAFOT #87 - BoTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC # |

Steve, what is your problem exactly my friend? I advertise my car for sale and you assume I'm a chav/townie/scum/whatever, and then without ever even seeing/driving the car, start saying it's rubbish and that I'm lying. Everything on the car was done professionally by a race mechanic not some mod shop, I can ASSURE you that it handles very nicely indeed.

Welcome to the uk.adverts.cars group.... or any other uk cars usenet group...... You seem to have driven through a branch of Halfords with all the stick-on tat / pointless 'modifications' looking at the spec you posted. All it says to me, and most other people who regularly read this group, is that it's a kevved up shed. HTH. If you want some useful advice, then I'd say this: don't advertise all the 'mods', as they just put people off coming to look at the car. Apart from kevs / chavs, of course. -- Steve H 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' http://www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - MZ ETZ300 VW Golf GL Cabrio - Alfa 75 TS - Alfa 155 TS Lusso - COSOC KOTL BoTAFOT #87 - BoTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC # |

All it says to me, and most other people who regularly read this group, is that it's a kevved up shed. Fair enough, you seem to have the wrong idea though, the only thing I'd buy from halfords is a set of spanners, and that's pushing it a bit, I broke a socket wrench clean in half the other day by hand that I bought from there. I know what you mean by kevved up shed, there's enough of them round here believe me, this does look/sound/drive completely different to most 'done up' cars, in reality compared to most modded cars, this has had relatively hardly anything done, just a few things to make it a bit different. That chavscum site is funny though I have to admit. Nick -- www.mobile-unlocking.org.uk Unlocking all models starting from £5 |
