...killed by a rear ender while stationary. The kid driving his daddies Pug205 hadn't bothered to demist his front screen before heading off to school. It was a sunny November morning...bang!

Final spec:

Courtney Blistien suspension package (Courtney specked springs and valves shocks)

Astra GTE front callipers with TarOX grooved discs and EBC greenstuff pads

TarOX grooved rear drums

14" MO's in 49ET offset dressed in 185/50R14 Yoko A520's

Stainless steel exhaust system (quieter than the standard two box system).

Bee-sting aerial, body coloured bumpers and wing-mirrors.

Handling was suburb, stuck to the road like glue, but not very progressive, it would grip, grip and grip some more, then let go completely. I don't know if this was a function of the Yoko's or the Courtney premium suspension package...probably a combination of both! I have now learnt you have more fun with a bit of progression...helped by RWD.
