ooh that poor headgasket :lol: iv had it to the redline in fith with standard shocks, springs and about 60% of the original bushes :shock: :lol: felt fine all the way baby 8)

corners? now corners are a different story :lol: the rear end feels more solid on the road than the front but it think thats down to me more than the car :? :lol: iv thrown it round a few corners with lots of room for me to lose it just to see what' d happen and the old girls always just gripped and dragged me round 8) not tried it in the wet though cos im a nancy
iv got solid mounts, bumpsteer kit and a few new bushes on the front, the rears are standard still
