    That's a big load.

    That low, with all the extra weight, were drive shafts hitting frame?

    waan't too bad, i thought it handled it really well. . i went the long way round to get the smooth roads, and took it slow. plus my ride height is due largely to the small wheels and tyres so frame hasnt been an issue yet. no marks on the drive shafts or anything.

    it's amazing how much stuff you can transport with a hatch and a roof rack!



    what do you guys think of the oil cooler? i get some pretty mixed opinions. some pretty heated ones at that. which surprised me a bit. after all this car is just a bit of fun.. been thinking about taking it off lately

    It's your car! Do whatever you want with it If you like it, leave it on there, otherwise take it off.

    It's not the way I'd choose to mount an oil cooler and you probably didn't install it for the same reason I installed mine but it's your choice.

    Don't worry about what other people think, most of them don't think at all!
