Here They Are..... PICS!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, stiffer suspension, eibach anti roll bars, stretched tyres etc, does make it more skittish in the wet - didnt feel like there was any prob until all of a sudden it just let go!!

Not sure if its made me nervous about drivin - not driven again yet - it probably will have.

Coulda been so much worse, countin myself very lucky.

 

not lowered, but hard suspension ain't as good in the wet as there's no give.

wide wheels means the water can't clear from under thr tyres as quickly as thinner tyres. thinner tyres tend to "cut" thru standing water, whereas wide tyres tend to skate over surface of water

 

bloody hell!!!!!!! how lucky was you andy!!!!!!

 

Bit random to bring this thread back

Over a year ago now, christ.

Fair number of parts of that car is still bein used though

 

bootlid?

 

Yeah,as bean tins on the supermarket shelves.....

 

why didn't you just t-cut it out, i'm sure it would have been fine!!

FWIW, I rolled a Ka at about 50 or 60. It looked about the same as that. MK2s aren't super strong.

 

Those images are disturbing as ever.

 

Is the driver's side rear quarter panel still for sale? Mine's a bit scuffed.

 

Could sell you a MK2 with a newish quarter panel on it, if you're interested TSC? Will chuck in a spot weld drill bit.

 

i was gonna say, bitta t-cut would do the job, but some one beat me.

you're so lucky to get out of that one, must of bin a hell of a bang. engine still turn, or have you cracked that too?

 

also just wondered, in the bush, the round thing - that your headlight?

 

jesus, blast from the past! this happened back in 2004!!!

 

Sorry Trev, I need a rear quarter formed to exactly that shape......
