Yep, sheds 
Garlic Tech, I like it. Better than Beret Tech IIRC.
Lol. Even now it still sits like a boat.
Look
Much better.
Is that as low as the coilies go?

Some oil on the discs is good for stopping squeaks
At the front no, ive not set them up as i want them yet, waiting for better weather, still no heat in the road so i have to be careful in bends still. I want the front rasing a bit too actually.
The rears will go lower, but ive jacked it up and adjusted the thing that you twist to make it go up and down, both as high and as low as it will go and there doesnt seem to be much difference.
Jase, i wouldnt mind a set of DS2500's but its a case of finding out which brake pads the GT uses. Judging by the appauling brake fade the car has i would be willing to bet theyre standard.
Its a shame you have such a piece of s**t to learn to drive in, the MK2 was a far more fun to drive car than this s**t wagon. Oh and as for the squeaking, its normal for a renault. If your rear wheels fall off, its normal. if your gearbox is s**t slow like mine then its normal

Which engine did you drive?
Jase when youve been driving 4 years or more and youve driven a few different cars im sure youll look back and RAGE when you realise how bad this car is. The engine is pointless, i would imagine replacing it with a tree trunk would be more beneficial, and my god how BAD is the clutch and gearbox, notchy, slow, aquard biting point, light and slow clutch. The hatred goes on. I am a very unhappy person when driving the GT. Unfortunately i have to go fill it up AGAIN and then drive it 15 miles to my girlfriends.

The clutch is easy to balance and it isn't an awkward biting point at all, that's just your driving tbh. I've driven quite a few cars actually, my dads work is based on a large airfield and as a summer job last year I helped out and it often involved driving across it to his warehouse to get stuff in vans, his Alfa 2.4 diesel. I even drove my mums old Audi TT up there too. (but that was more for the experience than doing anything useful) I know this isn't the same as driving them on the road but it gives me a reference point if that makes sense. I've driven a 4wd turbo, a diesel with a shed load of torque, a gutless van, a powerful van etc.
I know its not the best engine in the world, but it never fails to put a smile on my face this car. I keep thinking about changing it for something else but then I get on a lush road and it just has me hooked!
Its not bad to insure, the engine is fun in a VTEC rev it way, the compromise between comfort and handling is great, the interior has amazing seats. So comfortable, they hug you in, the first thing people say when they sit in the front is "wow, did you put these seats in? they are lush!" etc.
And as jenic said, its not exactly s**t for a first car. I love it, as do most people tbh. May not blow the world away with its power but it does what it does well. Its a little warm hatch.
