car dun did it

yes i finally did it. i did what every one is scared to do. i have nuespeed sport springs. and decided to see how far you can puss them. well dont take a 90 deegree turn going 60 its not going to happen. i know the worst of it turned out pretty good. destroyed the front bumper. and grill.
and also messed up the driver side quater panle . but its funny cuz i dint hit anyone the damage was done due to that god damn street sign.
but it was a reasonalbe risk. and i was wrapped with toyo proxy z4s. i wish i would have totaled it. i want the new neon lol [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG].
anyways nmow its a good reson to go get the octane kit i need and some z fenders huh. so give me opinions on a kit i sould get.

yeah, go for the kit, but no Z3's. And if you do get the Z3's, be carefull becase some of them dont have the upper body line and it dosent look too great becase it dosent match the door. Good luck. and thanks for the neuspeed info, I also have them

My car has Neuspeed Sport Springs, Koni Adjustable Shocks and NO rear sway bar. It handles VERY well. I have driving experience in a LOT of cars up to and including VR4s and Corvettes. They have the potential... Why exactly would you say they don't? I'm just wondering why you'd make that statement.

You are a total idiot. Ninety degree turn at 60 miles per hour? A reasonable risk and you wish you would have totalled it? You should have to ride a kids' bike with training wheels wherever you go.
