that's quite worrying i thought only vr6's sumps were the lowest thing at the front of the car?

how do you people get over speedbumps?

i use to hit them with speed, until i split a fuel line the other week, now i do the carefully

theres an art to getting over really bad ones. not too slow or you will get stuck but not too fast or you rip things off! and angle is everything! lol

lol well im not down to 120mm, but not too much left on the threads. when you say angle, is it better to go for it from an angle rather than straight on? occasionally catch this mega bump in soham

yea i took my assister springs out the front too so that dropped it another 20mm , yea if you go over the diagnal its finee

someone on edition said taking the helpers out might be dangerous? that's quite brave of you

bummer. ill try going over diagonal, but 1 of the bumps (1 each way) is higher than the other as i always scrape over there, but only sometimes over the other.. hmm..

are we talking bumps which cover the whole width of the road, or the kind which sit in the center with gaps either side?

im thinking about modding the 1 in soham :cyclops:

any bump at all! the more angle you take the more wheels will be on the bump at the same time (in theory)

only because they are all pussys on there:P

hmm im going to have to try this me thinks, will give it a go with the angle and come back at you..

was thinking of putting something on the other side of the bump to keep the height for as long as possible. not sure if people would like a nice chunk of concrete put on it though, also not sure if cars would stay away from it long enough for the concrete to set while im stealthily slapping it down like a ninja

also, sorry for another thread hijack, as it were, but do you have any problems with the angles of the other suspension parts? since slamming mine do to 2cm left on threads it seems the excess pressure has left the arms etc hating it and giving horrific noises

my arms and drive shafts are at a stupid angle but i have no noises my drives shafts did hit the chassis legs alot but they have now notched and the only noise i get now is my subframe hitting teh floor , but joe said on his mk3 the arms made some noises he just had to grind a small bit away is that right joe?

was this an itchy/grindy/springy sound by any chance joe?

thats the noise! its the wishbones hitting the subframe. all ive done is ground a little bit off the wissbones so they clear.

that's what it is is it? damn... lol been pulling my hair out.. probably why it didn't make the noise at an acceptable height lol..

if the car lasts this long - would you fancy coming for a spin at the next meet or whatever to see if we're talking about the same noise?

when there are bumps on each side of the road i just drive down the middle, so both wheels are on a bump

that's what I'd normally do too, but the one i have to go over every day has a bollard-type thing in the middle of the road

cheers joe
