young and deadly, i had to back off an attempt to overtake a lorry wen the spray settled as i puttin to the right i sore some lights in front of me about 100yrds so bein a 1400 i slowed and moved bk in lol (stuiped) im normally a good driver just i get my racing head on in the country lanes,

Discretion is always the better part of valour.

Countless number of times I've said 'I should have gone' - and didn't and circumstances proved otherwise.

Why I'm still here - much to Davie's 'discomfort' :P

:P:eek::(:(

Well, melting down your old tin soldiers (from last year) and then selling em on as genuine vRS alloys - I mean

lol

you sod! lol lol lol

you can go right off some folk lol

lol

You think that's funny - wait till you hear about the Nexen tyres.

No, no, I mustn't

yeah thanks val!!!! GIT! lol

could i not just weight down the car a bit then lol :confused:?

I suppose you could but then you would need to get the weight in the right place and then your talking 150kg is which is easily the weight of two people which wouldn't do your fuel economy or performance any favours.

The effect of these would probalby show in a few ways. The springs will be too stiff and there wont be enough give in them to work when they should you would have a lot more under and oversteer as they can't abosrb the engery transfered when cornering. This also means instead of the suspension giving when you hit a bump the car will, making it uncomfortable to drive and increasing the likelyhood of the wheel being off the floor which you really don't want. Thats all before you factor in the extra strain and stress on the other components caused by the springs. :(

lol! haharr

isnt this the case wen u get lowerin springs anyways? coz they would be a lot stiffer etc? i dont know

lol! haharr

Well, on the grounds of safety I feel I must.

Way back around 1912 there was a truly wondrous ship built - twas the Titanic.

And, all around it was bedecked with rubber to save it from minor impacts.

So, the salvage guys came in - ripped off the rubber. Sold it on - and the guys who turned it into tyres called em Nexen - as in Next One cos they knew they'd be seeing them again

i dont know

Exactly - so please do some real research and make sure you get it right else you're gonna end up with a car that a/ at best is not gonna please you b/ is gonna be downright dangerous.

.............gettin the feelin i'm bein picked on here........................hhhmmmmm...........

Moi

With me there's always 'gain' - but a leetle pain to follow

its quite funny actually, but i think so too :eek:

little pain.......HA! lol

John will be thinkin i've bumped him with all this malarky lol lol lol

little pain.......HA! lol

John will be thinkin i've bumped him with all this malarky lol lol lol

That would be a mistake of titanic proportions :P

Me bad

you bloody awful lol

you bloody awful lol

C'mon now - that wasn't what you said the last time

lol oooo, its cool, just a lil gutted if the spring issue wont work,

isnt this the case wen u get lowerin springs anyways? coz they would be a lot stiffer etc? i dont know

Some might be a little stiffer (And progressivly wound) but not that much I think thats more the effect of the reduced travel available to the shock. Lowering springs decrease the ride height, lowering the centre of gravity but if you get the proper kit they will be intended for use in your vehicle and not an unknown quantity. I think the VRS springs would be too stiff.

I don't have the cognative capacity to explain the physics ATM so I am sure someone else will pick this up for me when there is daylight!

I must sleep...

shhh the wife might be watchin lol

lol oooo, its cool, just a lil gutted if the spring issue wont work,

Best of luck with springs - if not then sell them on. I'm sure there'll be takers.

shhh the wife might be watchin lol

You didn't tell ME
