thennnn if you have a pro alloy FMIC theres the small problem about driveshaft rubbing on the pipe and causing one hell of a boost leak which ment i had less power than a 1.2 fabia!! lol

the hole was made bigger to clean the oil and attempt a repair, it worked the first time my car touched the road but didnt seem to hold the second time.

i'll post a picture of my rear arches later ;)

Does this not put any of you off from putting the car lower than it was ever intended to be? :D

I'm running a very low mk4 Polo - I catch the cats eyes with the subframe! I'm sure Stuart_hatch use to run a very low MK4 Polo long before he got his Fabia - i'm sure it was written off because it twisted the chassis after catching a manhole cover????

Hell no! lol!

The lower the better!

Think im going to stick with the 4x4 look myself :D

i'd love to keep the stance as it is but i cant afford to replace a £23 pipe every few weeks LOL! plus i like having full boost!! more piccyss!!

and man that sump looks nasty!!!! ever considered a baffled one?

How low's your Fabia?

think its about 70mm ish not to sure but i've raised the fronts up a little now! seems to just clear the pipe now! but hasn't sacrificed the stance thank god!! still looks awesome :D

one time i managed to wedge my wishbone on a high curb parking outside a mates!! not ftw!!

Why don't you just put some casters on a tea tray and have done with it ? Imagine what your doing to the tyres with that rubbing. I've got visions of you driving at speed and rubbing through the wheel arch liner with the tyre catching something sharp, having a blowout and a serious accident.

Pic of the lower plz!!! :cool:

I was so F'ing thankful my suspension was stock in Feb when I hit the kerb, much lower and It would have meant a new bumper for sure.. as it is the suspension took the bash.. Hmmm.. not sure which i would have preferred actually.. but least all my paint is original still! Yay! :)
