Friend with a s2k has a giant ass wing on the back. Going over 100 you can feel the ass end of the car being pulled down.
Yea fixing to have to do some suspension work on her...lowered her a few months ago and now my rear end is moving back and forth during hard turning. Buying a panhard bar next week to keep them tires centered :) When I hard corner left all is golden...but when cornering right my traction control goes into hyperactive mode and slows the car down.
Yeah.Quote:

Same with my friend's E36. He has one of those big ass GT Evo wings. You can feel it push the back end down at about 80mphQuote:

You should probably do the front and rear swaybars too if you haven't already.Quote:

Soon will be getting it remapped and of course uprating the flywheel and clutch. Tempted to put a hybrid turbo on it and of course uprate the fuel pump, injectors etc along with a miltek catback exhaust.
This picture isn't of my particular Golf, but it is the same model however this one in the pic is a GTI. This is the kind of shit we drive in Scotland and of course its fucking manual.

Its all good until your front suspension starts creaking because of the shit bushings. :PQuote:

It's my daily driver and my "guinea pig" for repairs. I'm new to cars in general (one year as a parts technician at a Volvo dealership), and just realizing how expensive it is as a hobby! So far I've replaced front pads and rotors, a cam seal/valve cover gasket, and timing belt myself.
Mods:
K&N Short Ram Intake
Kenwood Deck
Alpine Speakers
350w Alpine Amp
2 10" Subwoofers
Saving/searching for an EVO VIII if I can find one in Canada, but they are all modded to shit and usually by people who don't know what they are doing. May just get an EVO X for the peace of mind.
Damn rich kids on rz, thank god for uber

Couldn't pass up the deal....Ford is running 0% financing for 72 months on most of their new cars till Sept. 8th. So she got a brand new car and is paying only $20 more a month than I am for my used car.....which kind of irritated me LOLQuote:

Those are pretty much the most expensive parts anyway.
And so much more that has killed my wallet.
My old car was basically falling apart. The guy who wrote it off did me a favour. Id rather have a car where I don't have to do anything to it lol.Quote:

Went to the drag strip last weekend. Here's some video of my single run that night. Track was slick, both me and my buddy had traction issues on launch, luckily I got traction before he did and won :D
I'm in the lane closest to the camera.

Spoiler:
Too young to drive. I cri.
I bought a little 1.3 Ford Fiesta the other day for my first car, Car cost me £590 and to insure it for my first year when I get my full license it will cost £2000 ... :(
What a rip off.. Is that full insurance though cause for that car anything but property+body damage is a waste.Quote:

Though different countries I am in the low ages range too with an oldish car and it was $1000/year cheaper for bodily injury liability and property damage liability which is around the value of your car. Worth checking.
its not a rip off at all. Hes what, 17 or 18, male, had a licence for less than a month, got a fiesta....Quote:

You would have to be a risky driver, not understand road rules or be very unlucky for your car to be totaled not just scratched/dented before 1 year is up..
It's a Fiesta. You could ram it into a wall at 60 and it would probably still drive.Quote:

Also, how much is the government tax based on your country to purchase an imported car?
In America, You keep high insurance for 3 years, before it goes down.
That was my experience when I first got my license.
In England it is a number of factors. If I was to be insured on the same car at 17, my insurance would be cheaper because im female (a stupid ass rule imo), same car, at my current age, will be cheaper, same car with my no claims bonus, cheaper.Quote:

Were in England and insurance seems to work on a whole different level here.
Edit, they also make it all up.
I did a comparison for my insurance. 2 weeks ago, it was £580, last week it was £545.
@ChewBecca Do they offer gap insurance there? IE: Youre paying on a car note, it gets wrecked. The insurance company states the car is worth less than what you owe. So you end up paying on a car that is wrecked. Gap insurance covers the difference.
If you pay in full you get a refund for the remaining months. If you pay monthly then you have to pay a cancellation fee. There may be add one to protect against paying this fee, but I always pay in full to save money.Quote:

How'ever, i'm currently learning driving so i don't have a car yet ;)
That's called 3rd party cover. Basically if you have a crash, it will cover the other person but not yourself. It's common over here too in the UK, a lot of traders policies (like my own) do this as well.Quote:
