jonyb4 :would be great if you managed to do that before combe, you'd be thankful when you hit a bend
Really? I found standard zs suspension is fine on a track, a bit tail happy but plenty of fun

Re: My First Car! (UPDATED)
isi? dont know if id have the guts to
yet again the nearest thing to standard zs suspension ive experienced enough of was either a standard Si or my mates old puma
apart from that they've all been lowered so dont remember how they acted on normal ride height, i know they were bouncy

Re: My First Car! (UPDATED)
you've got nothing to worry about with the standard suspension, mine took corners really well, even the really windy bends on the lanes near me were no match for them

Re: My First Car! (UPDATED)
Standard suspension is fine. Obviously for looks then lower it, but for handling matched to performance its exactly as it should be.

Re: My First Car! (UPDATED)
Yeah I Read An Article In A Magazine That MK5 ZS's Are EXCELLENT At Handling And I Do Throw Mine Around Roundabouts A Few Times When It's Quiet, And It Does Feel Really Good And Yes The Back End Creeps Out Abit Too And Can Manage To Handle It Well...

I Sprayed Up A Trumpet To Fit Through My Lower Grille Onto The Air Filter Tube For More Air In The Engine, The Lower Grille Has Been Brushed With A Metal Wire Brush To Get The Old Black Spray Off So That It Matches With The Smaller Silver Upper Grille, Pictures Of It Fitted Will Be Put Up 2moro!

I Snapped A Photo Today Of The Trumpet Which Was Fitted Yesturday, I Need To Do Something To Hide The Mesh Which Has Been Cut Behind The Trumpet, But Will Do That In My Spare Time, Also Rub Down And Respray The Trumpet Because Trying To Fit It Just Scratched The Orange Paint, But At Least I Know Now It Fits Properly So Will Respray Later On!

I really like that orange stripe on your upper grill. Don't think I've seen it anywhere else and actually works very well
Of course, everything else is great too
