Re: Jimbobs graphite 323
Droll time!
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.

Re: Jimbobs graphite 323

Its a bit of a dream for me to be doing this.
i love it
Gave the underside another coat today and fitted my windscreen wipers



I managed to get the fuel filler pipe in after a bit of twisting and turning

Re: Jimbobs graphite 323
Brrrr too much WN stuff to my taste though. Wondering how all the rubber parts will perform after fitting!

Re: Jimbobs graphite 323
Most of the bushes will be poly and i have some solid topmounts i want to try.
as i drive the car i will be trying all different setups regarding bushes and materials so i will
have a few options to hand when i want them. Ive seen various reports on dodgy rubber and
chrome from w+n. Ive only had one problem with the chrome trim around the front windscreen
so far everything else looks to be of good quality and has fitted well
I know you have pretty much blacklisted w+n but i have to speak as i find, and they have been nothing but
helpful so far. We will see what the response is to my duff windscreen strip
