On the way back from Sydney I accidentally dropped my jerry can onto my rear guard and left a dent the size of a 50c coin. Using this as a chance to get all my dents removed, which is happening today :)
Hopefully I can get my front bar resprayed some time in the coming months and get hamish to work his magic.

Where are you going for dent removal?

It actually feels quite terrible atm. It's just that the power and torque makes you forget how loose the car feels. So I am hoping that it will make a major difference

I reckon you'll notice quite a difference going urethane bushes all round Owen. Just make sure you grease every single one of them extensively or you will get the dreaded squeaks when going around corners. The car will just feel tighter all round.

Not really. I really like the way Justin, Bruce and Brandon's car feels. Even Brandon's car which has 0 grip feels tighter than mine. I guess that's the difference between a car that's done 40,000kms vs 140,000kms.

The steering is responsive..but not sharp like my evo or even my golf. Doesn't feel planted, wiggles around under braking and under power. I'm constantly fighting the car because it just feels loose and I can't put my foot down early enough purely because I'm afraid to.

If these ball joints and bushes don't make an improvement I will have no choice but to turn it into a drag car lol :lol:
