Jeroen, if you're reading this- is it possible to have this thread moved to the custom section? It doesn't really make sense being in here when that exists...

Posted a video - another drive. Anyone who has lowered the front of their car able to suggest causes of the noise when turning left on an off-camber corner?

You must fit bumper. Even if it is rusty and bended.
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.

I know, I know - I've got to make some sort of bracket for it to bolt to! The bumper is painted the same colour as the body so it's not rusted (nor bent) - it's just that the radiator goes where the normal brackets for the front of the bumper run to the chassis rail. I think I will get away with making a bracket that mounts to the support that the fan is attached to but it's a bit harder to do now that the front bar is fitted up (and I can't be bothered removing that!)
