Haha, yea, might do the trick, its a horrible moment when you do though!

Lowered cars suck on shitty roads, and one major problem is more and more roads are getting that way :(

As far as the dash goes, rattles are part of owning an old car unless you can be arsed to go round sorting them, but from experience, its a never ending battle, so these days, i just turn my music up :p

I can't do that, the rattles shake my stereo and turn it off :p it was fine til the shock went though, it just rattled now and then, currently it's more of a constant shake especially if I go over 60!

have you had your wheels balanced? that could be a cause of wobble. and christ, that must be really bad :lol:

Yeah, they were all fine until the shock went! It's just all the roads round Beds, Herts and Cambs are crap! It's annoying but I've kind of got used to it already, shocks should arrive this week or next though :]

Yea, country roads blow, i do loads of climbing and its always some shitty road like that to get there, i hit so hard sometimes, went from 40 to 20 once, that sucked, on the upside, it flattened my exhaust a lot and it didnt catch anywhere near as much afterwards :lol:

If your shocks are fucked its horrid as you're just driving on springs, and that makes for an interesting drive!

Ha maybe I need to hit something hard then? :p

Yeah everywhere I drive no road is perfect enough and cuz I weigh like nothing, it bounces so much worse unless I have a passenger, everywhere is a constant like vibrate on the whole car, my dash goes mental haha!

Awful aint it. I'm definetly investing in some decent springs this summer!

Hopefully some that dont make it look like a monster truck :p you didnt even scrape getting onto my driveway :roll:

The backs going down 2-3 notches this weekend, and a few coils of the front.

I didnt scrape, but something knocked lol! , Don't know what it is though! :crybaby:

Thats beautiful. Love those wheels, they suit it down to the ground. Those seats are comfy as aswell :)

Thankyou! The wheels were a bargain aswell, 150 quid! Still have yet to find out what they are or what they came off though! Anyone got any ideas? Closest match I've been suggested is Maserati Bi-Turbo wheels, but they're different fitment and slightly rounder on the holes.

And hell yeah the seats are awesome! :D

Haha! Woo yay for having lady-parts! I hope by hybrid you do not mean one of those monstrosities that will eventually take over the roads?! ;] haha but no I want the GGGGG!

I'm finding it hard to source a cheap g40 doner, need one that's had a rear ender really!

Uhhh that totally came out wrong, have a habit of doing that... hahaha! I blame my mother!

Dont be Daft Alex, 1.6 16v's are for gays.. this needs an electric motor kinda hybrid. As i know Bec loves them, and the people that drive them :lol:

Cheap and G40 never come together unless your stupidly lucky.

Theres a full conversion with charger on here atm for about £700 i think it was. Thats the cheapest I've seen one in a looong time.

but in all fairness. the 1.6/1.4 16v with say cams n bikecarbs or even better, ITB's would be sat on a G40's arse all day long. and for a fraction of the price. Be quicker than a standard G i would have thought.

You blame your mother for wanting a rear ender? :lol: :lol:

Dare we ask!?

I was going to make a comment about robbos mother but i can see it ending in a thread hijack, especially as thats what happens when the four of us end up chatting on a thread :p

Anyhow, nice car, filthy mind....

I want the G though! It's iconic and it came as standard in coupes don't want to mess about putting other engine types in there. Annnnnnd if anyone comes near me with a hybrid, I will not hesitate to crash into it [with a stolen corsa or ka of course, no hurting of my polo baby]

My mind is very active right now, lets get back onto the car..... :)

First time for everything i guess.....

1.4 16v isnt a massive job, its only taken me forever as I'm dead lazy :p

I'm glad you chose a corsa as your car of choice for wrecking :)

Ha gotta be a corsa every time, that or a ka, ka's with girls in them are the worst :'[, clio's, saxo's, fiesta's, focus's and 106's are all on my list to wreck too but some of them can at least be modded tastefully, though rarely, corsa's and ka's are just no hopers!!!

a saxo, tastefully modded? really? :lol:

though I'm inclined to agree with the no hopers part!

Like I said, it's a rare occurance! But I'm pretty sure I have seen it done!

I've also seen it done terribly... many, many times!

Hhaha yes! a girl who sees sense, one of my ex's was obsessed with ka's. Couldnt get her into vw's, probably because my caddy was a death trap

Were you drunk or on acid maybe?.....

It looked sick as fuck though :D
