Default My previous cars if anyone cares!

Started many moons ago with my Corsa 1.0 12v, the power!



Onwards and bought this car off my mate at college, seems really chavvy now but was a lot of fun! And a hell of a step up from 55bhp.



Bought a 206 GTi as I got a really good deal, lovely interior on these. Loved it actually but unfortunately it had the cut out problem



I started working for Renault and decided on an upgrade to a 182FF, with the Recaros I might add, awesome seats! Things were damn expensive on it though, and then I lost my job so that went...



Next I decided on something cheap to get me buy and fix up whilst I was jobless, picked this up for only £800. Sold it today as it goes...



And, still got my R5 but it's going soon. Bought it as a project as always loved them! But it's just way too much of a project for me. Handling's great on this thing though with Gaz coilovers!

Although I didn't do any of the modifications myself... improves to air-flow and handling is hardly what I'd call bazzed up

Improving the handling? Where? On track?

Anything that slammed will handle like a plank of wood on skates. Get it on a bumpy back road, and a standard car would leave you for dead.

Can never understand why people do this. I had a 106GTI years ago, that just had the best handling ever. People who slammed them and stuck bigger wheels on, just ruined what was a great car.

On smooth roads, attacking a round about, yeah, a slammed car might have more grip, due to less roll, but otherwise, it's ruined.
