Ok - let me put it another way, to the people who have braces fitted to there motors - have any of you tried pushing your car to its limits? If so do you feel an sense of give? other then the sound of tyre squeel?

£30 at the most to having your tracking sorted, works out £35 down here to have you setup with toe//tracking/camber! Sort it out before you land yourself in a wheel chair. im i fine one to speak tho - this sort of thing happend on my escort once - i check my tyres every other week! neighbours...

Thats mental! Glad it was just the car that went up and nothing else - as someone said on here, what would have happend if you had kids belted in the back and ran into the post office for 2mins or something before it kicked up? :o shocking

Its a gray area m8 - no one seems to know. Ive got a brace at home wating to be fitted, but im in 2 minds to fit it due to some worrying stories i keep hearing.

whats the benefit in having a S/S manifold then?

Eh? How does that work?

sounds like a call for Mr coilover ;)

Having driven another clio today with a 4pot hi-spec brake conversion - i finally realised just how crap my brakes are. (clearly this would naturally be the case coming out of a car with a decent brake setup - however something isnt right) Im currently running a set of Tarox G88s up front...
