yeah i must admit driving my car can be \'edgy\' at times, but i do know whats its gonna do now. took a bit of getting used to
i can see ya getting more respect for tuning the 1.6 and keeping it original to be honest
and as ive said a thousand times, i wish id put the engine in myself

What suspension you got teddy? What wheel size also, im looking at that kind of drop, dead level and very low at the bk !

Teddy · Post by **Teddy** » Wed Apr 13, 2005 10:19 am

Im on AVO Coil overs and i dont really want it that low - but the spring catches if i have it any higher i will have no rebound rate.

The wheels are 15\'s

With regards to PVS im on the Vauxhall Sports Car club stand as im a regional organiser

personally i would tune the small block for the wieght advartage. my mate has just bought an XE and decided not to fit it and offered it to me but turned it down because of the weight.

Well if ye wanna sell your suspension then let me know fella!

Hmmm small block sounds nice with weight in mind, what ye wanna do really paul? Corners or straight?
