Someone posted it on MIG & I realised the chap is from my town.
I've seen the car about & actually thought it was ridiculous. Now I know to stay well away!

Actually tempted to take a note of his reg & report him tbh.
I'd love to see an idiot like this made an example of. Its one thing having -80 springs in the rear of Novas & such like, but to all but remove the spring is plain daft. I know its not the first time but its just not clever or cool in anay way. I dont think it looks good at all, infact I think the car looks knackered.

Reporting him would be a good idea I reckon. I wouldn't be surprised if he dirves like a tit, and with springs that he said himself will fall out, he could potentialy kill people.
lmfao, my friend was telling me about this today. What a tool!

funny thing is he acually seems impressed with his efforts ? lowering springs for the front of a saxo cost like £30 and lookin at that pik he must have spent that much on cable ties ??:O
FTW what a guy...
Vey naughty and very very unsafe... Cuttage of springs should not be done ;) remeber this kiddies. . .
You wanna go and nick the springs out of it, shouldnt take too much to wind them out!!

I just love that the fact that FuzzyOrange slates the guy for his antics, but it was ok todo the stunt he pulled a few weeks back. :roll:
Fookin cable ties to hold it on ?????????? wtf is he dumb they wont stop a car !! from snapping them ...
This bit made me lauph
"my springs fell out yesterday so i thought id better find a way of holding my springs in, i drilled 4 holes in each cup, and put as many cable ties as i could in each hole and around the spring to hold them in!"
wot a toilet !!

sure thats all the rage over here in northern ireland.
infact the police have actuaslly started stopping cars and checking them,...
there were cars impounded n stuff.
what ballbag cuts springs............especially the type in the back of novas/cavaliers etc etc
i've seen/heard of them in with cable ties....or tieing wire etc etc.
is it any wonder that folk with modified cars get a bad name from teh general punblic when you have to read about things like that in the local paper and on the internet.

Its one thing taking out a coil, but leaving 'a coil' is something else.
The kid is a ball bag & tbh the next time I see him. I'm gonna approach him & ask him why I shouldnt tell the law. See if he can convince me. (he wont)
Thats quite appauling, these people shouldn't even think of working on cars if they don't know what they're doing!
springs are £40 you tight git
P.S craig, whats going on with your project!?

Ive known a few people do that,1 lad had 1 whole spring for the front chopped in half and same at the back,it was daft, going over a little stone was like driving over a breeze block!
