Re: Got my 316 finally
how heavy is your cat? 

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: Got my 316 finally
Sorry for the disappearance guys. Funds have been low recently due to my new toy

Today i took the rear suspension out to give it a good clean and finally check the bottom of the car.... Found good things... And some bery bad things... Ill let the pictures do the talking.....



I went at it with a wire brush and some degreaser to get all the gunk off....


frame has alittle rust on it but nothing major.

Re: Got my 316 finally
Give the rear frame a good knocking over with a hammer to see if there are any holes. If not, you could send the entire frame to media blasting, then paint it. Bushes will be just as worn as the rest propably so this would be a thing i´d take a closer look at.
Re: Got my 316 finally
ok so. had a proper look, and its nowhere near as bad as i initially thought. as the summer arrives i will take it off... have it blasted and then paint the frame. however... to pass my MOT i am in need of a reverse light switch.... anyone got a spare?
