    One more thought..... could be a Marrzzda lol,

    Ive got my bets on VE Commie (Although not that JDM) or Mazda 6 or The new version of the GTX that has just been released, both of which are made in Yellow and Mazda got a car of the year award for the Mazda 3 didnt they???

    Suzuki Swift?? That wouldn't be an Andrew car?!?!

    Im not selling as such but if the price is right you can buy mine, heaps of mods already, just needs the motor done, I had plans for a stroked 2.5 - 2.8 supercharger setup.... will be doing a new thread in rides section soon so just keep an eye out...

    Righty Ho, well its only been happening since my run in with the cop car, every now and then if i accellerate heavily in 1st gear (from standing start) I can feel a faint shudder/knocking vibrating through my seat, it doesnt do it in any other gear although there is a slight knocking sound but no vibration if I am in a high gear at low revs but the car has done this since i got it and never thought any thing of it, everything under the car looks in order (had a look when I got my WOF last week)

    Also ive only noticed it since the accident but the left side of my car sits approx 1 cm lower than the right side, it handles well and I dont get any vibration or wheel shudder at all. All the panels line up and structurally (sp) it looks sweet, yet ive measured from various points and as said above the ride height is uneven. Shocks and springs should be fine as I only got new ones a year or so ago... Should I be looking at dodgy panel work?

    One other thing that came into mind was the fact that my car originally had no side repeaters and the fender that replaced the damaged one had a side repeater on it but the hole was welded up. Could there be a difference in the guards even though the replacement was off a pre f/l?

    Any help would be good, cheers guys

    hey its just my personal opinion so dont go shooting me for it, as he said about co-driving with his mate all the cars that beat them were RWD/4WD, doesn't that say something???

    Also i stated that i was a noob to FWD and having only really driven RWD and 4WD cars i guess i dont know much about FWD handling characteristics, but i guess yes they do have good handling for FWD but sh*t in comparison to 4WD and RWD. Just my 2 cents

    "but their handling lets them down,"

    Pardon?

    I test drove one a lil while back, went into a round about and went right around it at about the same speed i would in my E30, put it this way, it didn' t turn. When it got about 3/4's of the way around it, i accelerated to leave the round about as i would in my E30, it just went straight... my E30 would never do that... just my opinion but yea RWD FTW

    The only thing they can ping you for, for being to low is if the CHASSIS is less than 100mm off the ground, your kit could be 1cm off the ground and they cnt do sh*t unless your chassis is less than 100 mm, they can only go by STRUCTURAL points, exhaust, motor, diff, kit etc cannot be taken into account when measuring the legality of a car.

    I have had endless cops try to pink/green sticker me but you just gotta not be a pussy and show them whats up. If you know your car is legal then tell them, tell them to pull the ruler out their ass and get on their f**king knees and measure that sh*t. Get all the people outta your car before they do this though...

    IN my opinion cops will do anything to get lowered cars off the road, show them whats up and stick up for yourself, argue with the pricks till they let you off, thats what i do.... and ive never had a sticker. FTP B)

    Then again in saying that, i would do the same and rip any piece of crap car off the road IF it had choppies or was illegally modded. If you do it properly there is no problem. If its done illegally be prepared to pay. But in your case you should not have had any trouble (if 100mm chassis clearance is met)
