What issues does everyone have with....

SPEEDBUMPS!!!

im not overly bad considering the car all the way down, but there a right pain considering i cant get to my house without going over some (matt knows what i mean)

and i cant get to kazs house without going over any either, i even have to go a different way to kazs house to avoid some

the only problem i get are

mudflaps are pretty close to the ground so they take some abuse
exhaust middle box hits 90% of the time
and if i dont take it right or go even a tad to fast my wishbones hit the speedbump, i think its them anyway lol

things can only get worse


what problems do you lot have?

just curious really

Speedbumps arent to bad a problem, Just take them really slowly. - The stupid rumble strips piss me off though ! You know the ones that are before a 30 zone dropping down from a 60. Usually the bumps get worse as you go along and it makes my driveshaft knock on the front chassis leg

Getting off my drive is a bit of a pain too. Garage is about 4 foot below the road so theres a bugger of a hump where my drive meets the road Had to remove the centre box from my exhaust to get the car low enough !

sills and centre box & cat (before the were removed), i can beach the subframe on the sump slitters round here.

dented my sump on one the other day also lump of ice ripped my splitter off, but mainly my fault 4 being low

them bastard single lane speedys, specially in the snow when you cant see em, got summit rattling under the bora after hitting one awkwardly the other week. Cats eyes were a fuckkkkr in the mk1 cost me a sump

Spiltters changed more tha your mums underwear.

Speed bumps in Ireland are SAVAGE compared to here, got the sill stuck on one going into a shopping centre. Wishbones have taken some abuse, mid section always cops it as well.

did u fly over yo northern ireland chris or ferry and drive

Drive and ferry mate, was there for two weeks over christmas, couldn't do without my car for that long mate.

my car isnt to bad on speedbumps, apart from the jolts and the plastic yellow and black ones (like bricks) in the college car park and i usually smack the sils nd other stuff on them if i go more than 1mph

and once in london i tried to straddle one so i didnt feel a bump and i hit pretty much everything from the front to the back on it single track roads normally catch my splitter out... im on my third number plate :S

which ferry mate might of seen ya about and not noticed ya

Which ever is cheapest at the time, took Irish Ferries this year. Stenna last time.

I don't really at the moment

Could put some fatties in my car and pretend to be low, test it out..

at least your coilovers are a decent make, i feel all the bumps lol

I just try to get thrown across the road HAAAAA

thats such a awwsome clip lol was laughing for like a week when i first saw it ... not really sure why but it tickled me

usualy if i take it slow i dont have a problem, but any passengers or a bump the wrong shape and my splitter, middle section and exhausts take a pounding

and will be alot worse when i lower it a bit more and add a cupra r splitter

Gotta be crawling over otherwise it'll catch. It'll still catch on a few with it crawling. If there's more than me in the car it'll catch no matter what. Going through the middle's the only way.

The splitter, sub frame, exhaust and rear splitter have taken their few knocks, clatters and bangs!

even at 1mph i scrape lol but luky splitters made of flexi plastic


plus i hitmy sump if i stradle one of those silly single speedbumps, nd my sumps higher thn the subframes lool

at least you can see the speedbumps now, when it snowed then became camoflauge and i kept having to slam on because i couldnt see them

i Think me and matt (vpolo) know what speed bumps are

Remember that pub in cerrigydrudion, what was it - front bumper - downpipe - subframe - center box- PETROL TANK - then rear box haha

oh yeah i remember that day proper scraping
