lupolove Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 I've recently got a 1.7 sdi that i wana playing with a little, but i dont know anything about where to even start. The handling on it is absolutely terrible, would having either larger or smaller wheels and lowering it help at all? i love it, but the handling is damn annoying style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> anyone got any ideas to help?

lupolu Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 get better suspension for it i.e coilovers to make it stiffer. might wanna also think about strut brace although it tightens up the chassis i would have fort it would improve the handling too. lalthough im sure someone will correct me on that! also anti roll bars to think about. hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plug Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Mate, all you need is.1/ Coliover's2/GOOD tyres (no budget crap)3/Relativly Small wheels 14"-15"And there you go, one lupo with go-kart handling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

db Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Don't bother with front strut braces either, upper ones will do nothing and lower ones will just give you more understeer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willcrook Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 literally just replacement suspension and good tyres will sort your handling outtake the spare wheel out too for the feck of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
