Im unsure what to do at the moment regaurding cars

ive got the red gsi looker on the road which can be quite fun but its to low to noisey to uncomfortable lol

the derv van (awaiting engine swop)

i keep loosing intrest with both,ill go for a blast in the red one and like it again but only to discover it needs more time or money spending on it

do a couple of hours on the van and go mince about doing somthing else and loose intrest

so my plans are to take the red one of the road buy a newer comfy car and tart the van up and sell on once it has boosty goodness

ive been thinking about somthing like a astra GSI or leon TDI

but knowing me ill just keep both and just moan about it lol

Raise it a bit, make it quieter and then you'll enjoy driving it again.

Raise it a bit, make it quieter and admit to yourself that youre actually getting old and then you'll enjoy driving it again.

does it?

possibly down to 10 mm spacers on the front

drives straight with no hands

draper
26-05-10, 10:42 PM
its probably because its bigger so takes longer to steer round stuff, like a bloody artic you have swing left for right-hand turns lol

hendrix
26-05-10, 10:48 PM
lol draper.

Just noticed when I was following you seemed to be leading with the drivers front. Could be the spacers but it definately didn't look like it was running square if you get me cos it didn't look the same on spuds side

I should have took a pic or vid.

nah passanger sticks out too was the first thing craig noticed when i saw him on way to billing was that lol its the spacers and camber on em

tbf im not happy with the rear beam think the plates have been welded in the wrong place since the rear wheel catches now and it never did before but meh will get sorted when its off the road

hendrix
