Now, go out and buy the bloody car.

I had a Seat Arosa 1.4TDI for a couple of years and it was great on I'd sorted the suspension (Arosas and Lupos have really crap handling in standard form) Mine went to TSR in Bridgewater for a set of Koni adjustable shocks and was like a little go kart after You can get a TDI for around £2000 and there a fun grunty little car and really solid. Alternatively you can find new Panda's for well under 3 grand now and with some tasteful mods they're a lot of fun

I know safety devices dont make cages for cinqs, but im sure OMP and Sparco will do simmilar.

a head on with a car like hit liam is a load of something like 4 ton

work the equation out!!

3.5w + 150kg (when w= the cars weight) wont be that far off 4tons

I'd much rather have an inpact in my car with the cage in rather than out

maybe i under estimated the 4 ton, some where on the net it tell you exactly how much force there is in a 2 ton car traveling at 80 mph

im pretty sure where as rally cars and such like might not have a head on with another car .. the cages they use WILL be tested far beyond these limits .. its what FIA does after all.

and anyway look at stats for surviving a head on or side impact .. the gods have to be looking down on you i dont care what car your in.

I've yet to see a cage that's significantly dented. But I think the picture tells a story.

With a cage and normal seat belts that's a fatal
Without a cage and with a full harness that's a fatal

Thanks, Im not going to go higher than a 1.4. I think ill be getting a 1.2. And thanks for the info about suspension/handling. hmm but TDI's are a deisel arent they? and i think ill still with the petrol for now.

Nah, pandas are too big for me. I like little 3doors

I know safety devices dont make cages for cinqs, but im sure OMP and Sparco will do simmilar.

Tah for the link brookyi had a quick look.






And Im pretty sure that theres always going to be worry about any car having an impact. no car is industructable.. and its one of those things people have very different opinions on.

They fold up like a paper cup...

I was looking at getting a sporting, but I'm happy doing 35Mph up hills as long as my puppy gets me home.
