yeah, you do get the pogp stick effect over big bumps...but its not a big deal really. as long as your smooth its fine (which is the best way to drive anyway)...i have managed to get it hoping at 130mph round a corner before (most people wouldn't go round that corner at that speed...but i'm practicing for my racing next year and like to push myself!)...was fun!

lol
-
and if thats okay... tyre pressures (would have to be seriously off one side tho), or camber (a lot of places that do tracking don't check this).
-
well, i'm willing to come over...but only if there's def gonna be someone who can help me out. its sunday isn't it?
-
i still have the prob...but i need obd1 leads!!
-
so the new one fits right? or you were gonna take it back and swap it? either way you could sell the old one to a mkII owner who would have to chop some out the centre to fit it anyway.

okay...you've just bought a performance car...and now you want the biggest rims that will spoil the performance of the car!! (just my opinion...but i think most people on here will understand my viewpoint) as i understand it...(correct me if i'm wrong) 15"s = best for performance, 16"s = best compromise of looks/performance/big brake capability's, 17"s = look good but compromise performance and most will fit without arch mods (if they're no more than 7" wide), 18"s = best looks worst performance and need arch mods, any bigger = forget it unless you want to chop the car to bits.

does the abs actually work? (have you tried driving down a quite road and jumping on the brakes to see if they lock up?) think it's usually a wheels sensor ring thingy (technical name) that needs a clean up.

i think a lot of it is to do with driving style...some people go on about vr6's understeering but i never really noticed it..i like to drive a car 'on its nose' though. one thing worth checking is the condition of you rear swingarm bushes...mine are worn out and i get a nice snap of oversteer mid corner.

a '94 will have a coilpack. think only '92 models had dizzy's, as my '93 is coilpack.

shame it looks orange in this pic...its not really, just combination of a bright day and a cheapo camera (which doesn't work anymore!) it's lowered, obviously the bonrath grill and its now got highline wheels. -

i live in maidenhead, berks...J8/9 of M4. yeah, there is the dealership...but i ain't payin about £50 for them to plug a computer into my car (i simply can't afford it, but i wouldn't on principle...i'd rather get a friendly person to do it at a meet and buy them a few beers/maccy d's/etc..) main prob is that most people have obd2, and don't have the adapter.
-
i've got ec=xactly the same prob..been tryin to find out what it is for two months...and i have never had a conclusive answer. am desperatly tryin to get someone to lend me vag-com but no-ones in my area (i'm broke and can't afford to buy it). so far i've been told it could be... coil-pack, fuel pump, leads, cam sensor, and i'm sure theres another one!! i also get a strong fuel smell when i've just filled the car up (although this is recent). does yours sometimes have a good day when it doesn't so it?

i live in maidenhead in berkshire, about 30 miles west of london between slough (shithole) and reading (not as bad as slough, but not great!!). am often about in stoke-on-t as the girlie's at uni there!
