i know :,) my dad is not for buying me any though :/ so i have to wait till i pass my test and can buy myself some coilies. he thinks if i lower it i will crash and die! theres been loads of people crashing around my area and there cars have all been lowered. i have tried to explain to my dad that if there car wasnt lowered they properly would have crashed a few corners back aha, but once i pass and he doesnt have to come in the car anymore i will be getting it down!

get an espace splitter! be abit different to everyone else, but i do warn you! when you come to lowering the car, be careful cos the espaces splitters will make your car look low from the front as it is now! haha

so after replacing driveshaft and cv joint its still clicking, replaced discs and pads aswell, just done front springs and rear shocks, and now we just discovered that the steering rack is nakerd :@ turning right is hard and turning left is easy! had nothing but problems with this car so far, got a noisey arse wheel baring which makes the loudest humming noise i have ever heard in my life! covers the sound of my exhaust, and the clicking i had before i replaced driveshaft is still here and getting worse :S coming from the same side :S we are seriously considering of getting rid of the thing
