Xc sri....

ah cool, thanks guys. i'll keep fuse 50 in mind but i'm pretty happy to leave T/C on in mine as it usually doesn't bother me. starting to get old perhaps

princesspeachy yeah, if i floor it in the wet while doing a sharp turn there's wheel-spin. it's a FWD thing, the best tyres in the world won't help you much there! (and RWD will oversteer you into a pole ) however in a straight line T/C basically never goes on - could have something to do with the 17s and Dunlop Sportmaxx tyres

edit: oh i should add, the rear swaybar helps a lot in putting down power in corners as it keeps both front wheels evenly weighted and touching the ground. might be something that you could try

I usually have my fuse in too but if you ever want to put it on a dyno you'll need to take it out. I'm thinking about putting a button in but its a bit of stuffing around tbh.

Thinking about it, most of the time it does that I'm going around a bend or uphill as I live in a bit of a hilly area. So maybe thats it, but oh well. These things happen and I feel like a hoon!!

I'm planning on getting springs, shocks and a swaybar when I get my tax return. There's one particular bend near my house that I can go about 65-70 through (providing its not wet) but I can feel the wheels lifting LOL so I can only imagine how much that'd help. So exciiiiited to get my monies

Team,
I'm looking at getting back into an Barina - XC SRi to be exact...can any of you give me an info that I need to be aware off when checking them out.

or should I go for the SXi instead - yes I know less power!!!

thanks

I'll sell you mine if you want
it'll be up for sale next week.

thanks for your feedback people...looking forward to getting back into a opel.
the sri should have more power than the old sb 1.2l that i had

[Theo]

Ahh, you're not far from me either, I'm near Modbury.. if you get an SRi we'll have to have a mini-meet!!
