Because you can do this to my french piece of shit! :D
Some of the pics are crap...I blame the cold- i was shivering my bits off :? Also ignore the caravans...we had Pikie and his large extended family round for the day :lol:
I Like it, it handles better than it ever has done before. I'm just waiting for the die hard leaders of the standard way to come on and bollock me for altering perfect french suspension ;) :D

mine was once that low...must handle like a go cart...dont forget.. you need to adjust the braking bias valve at the rear, due to you lowering it at the back... or else you'll lock up rears..kicking back end out.. :-).. no handy in winter..on roundabouts

G i've been slated by some of the die hard standard brigade telling me it will handle crap...ive found otherwise and it handles how I've always wanted it to. Back end used to like going out on roundabouts when it didn't want to, it felt loose and I didn't like it one bit. It now handles like a dream.
As far as i'm aware the brake bias valve was sorted and it seems to brake well and even.
It feels so strange getting in it, it is very low to the floor and does feel like a go kart. I'm not small up and outwards lol but i'm a good 5'7-8ish so it's so weird having to bend right down to get in :lol: It was sat next to my mates Civic last night and looked like a toy car lmao :lol:
Mike the "pikie" vans are all at my dads storage yard, all off them owned by posh up their own arse toffs believe it or not!
thanks for the comments as always people, i'm sure you're sick of the site of my car now...but as for being lower than your standards Bulldog... HA HA HA :lol:

Looks good no idea how a car handles like that never had the pleasure of driving one, but it does look the business and if anyone with a standered has any other views on it ..... tell them to get fucked.

Couldn't have put it better myself ! :wink: It looks really nice though, shame we will never see it down here ! Too many fckin speed bumps, it would end up just a see-saw on a side street ! :cry:
