Default Stanced suspension.

At a Knockhill meeting the other week there some nice classics, but this Fiesta does nothing for me, I’d be worried about cornering faster than walking pace in case it rips the rubber from the rims, it apartly is only a worthy mention on an mot!

Thoughts?

If you mean the crackle tunes yeah, they are shit. I am all for do your own thing, but also do not like all modified cars being looked at in even more bad ways because a bunch of morons drive around flooring it and letting off to make their crackle tunes pop as loud as possible. Not to mention it is annoying as hell to be around.

As for stanced, yep, its their car and their interests. Some actually think their cars handle well and will argue that, which is funny But I know most of them just like to hard park and stare at their cars, which is fine by me. Different strokes for different folks. Just never buy one of their cars unless you want a LOT more work than you planned to undo what they did. Buddy of mine found that out on a 350z he bought specifically for autocross. He figured "well I am going to replace the suspension, wheels, etc anyways so no big deal" ... lol .... nope. Subframe was damaged. Getting that out was hell because all the subframe bolts were scraped down from dragging and all had to be cut out. Drive shaft had to be replaced which was not cheap at all, again because it had drug on so much stuff it was about to break. Ended up being a major project just to un-f*** the car so he could build it back into an autocross car.
