Whereas my new shape Sxi handles fucking brilliant, but when you loose it you end up like me with both left wheels pushed under the bodywork
Mine handle like a go-kart now on Apex 40mm drop and shocks also 205-40-17!

I've driven 1.0 12v's and 1.2 8v's and i'd rather have the 12v. Its more rev happy and refined. One thing i noticed about the 1.0 12v is that it has a large fly wheel, and when pulling away at junctions it feels a bit "rough"
