    As they say on Best Motoring: "Oh, under under under!!!"
    Your probably right and maybe that's what went down... Click here to enlarge

    Maybe the types understeer is to blame then ???

    about 1500km apparently (read it on another forum)...no idea what caused it tho.


    as for understeer, depends what you have the diff set on Click here to enlarge i can switch it mid corner and the thing literally dives for the inside of the corner..its actually a bit scary sometimes, it grips when you really, really dont think it will and can catch you out. tell you one thing, I am finding it VERY hard to find the cars limits on the road.

    Glad to see i dont need to educate anyone here about white Click here to enlarge
