[samboRT]

thanks people, ye dead happy wtih it....had a few good tusles with some bigger cars... focus, 206 etc... very fun! :)

only thing is... how bad do these cars handle standard! lol... like driving a boat hehe...

Even the lower models im aware are very good handling wise...

In my valvers case i never really understood how good it was till i got in the wet, and i run 17s on standard ride height and suspension. And couldnt believe how well it grips. But i am going to williams wheels as soon as i can afford to wrap them in rubber :)

[northy]

[Gav]

and ur right tho, 1.4rt's r alot nippier than any other 1.4 ive been in :D

yeah, did that photoshop myself pal... i do graphics everyday and do a biut of freelance work too so pretty good with it :)

glad you all like it.

yeah, i mean it grips extremely well... but it roll's alot, saying that, im standard ride height/damping and also on steelies at the min hehe... maybe some wider turbines are going to the trick, oh and thinking of getting the Apex -60mm suspension kit.... anyone had any experience with this? :o

thanks

[dan290888]

Love the interior! will be mint if you do it like that shop!

[unrealneo]

thanks

Excellent suspension IMO.

Be prepared for the hard ride tho. :wink:

Had it on my old RT which I've just sold.

[samboRT]

did you get any rubb'idge on the arches, with people in the back etc...

thinking about getting the -60mm springs first as i can afford them, then next week or so pick up some uprated shockers, like AVO or FK, would like to have a sort of hybrid suspension :D

[dan290888]

i have got 55mm springs on mine.

Rubs on full lock

doesnt rub with two (not huge!) people in the back!

[samboRT]

cool cool, what profile tyre do you run?

[dan290888]

im runnig 50s atm but theyre just what came with the wheels

[clowo16v]

Looks to be in great condition. Once its lowered and wider wheels the handling should be fine, enough to out handle most other hatches anyway.
