Did you tell her to say that?

Remember the golden lowering rule.
When it bottoms out on level ground, it is low enough.

I taught her well.

To the people questioning Adam's preference for the 8v head over the 16: Maybe he just wants to give his car a certain character - it's often the case that a "higher-spec" part or model actually spoils the balance of a car or ruins it's character. Case in point: The V12 E-Type Jag, which IMO is nowhere near as nice as a Series 1.

Some say that the Golf GTi and FWD Audi TT (new-shape) are "better" cars to drive than the AWD R32 / Quattro TT.

The only thing I have to say is that the obsession with "lowering it" is a little unhealthy (even if most of the comments posted on UCP are only as a joke), and the car wont drive anywhere near as well as one that's been set-up properly. I could understand if this were to be a "trailer queen" show car, because none of this would matter, but I wouldn't want a daily driver to be this compromised for the sake of lowering it and having a joke.

While you may have a point I don't think you picked the right example. 8v to 16v you only have 8 valves more. However Series 3.8/4.2 E-Type to Series III V12 E-type, changes quite a lot more...

Furthermore his car is already modified.

I just meant that he might prefer the character of the 8-valve.

[Waugh-terfall]

or maybe that the 8v is a stronger engine?

[fisetdavid26]

You're all wrong, it's not a question of character or a question of preferences... he's just being cheap.

Thank god someone is sane in this thread.

Actually it's out of sheer laziness and cost. I'd have to swap over too much stuff and basically build a totally hybrid engine to run a 16v. And I don't want to go boosted, so there's not as much of a point.

I'd sacrifice ride quality for looks any day.

Dammit man, I was just trying to save you from the rampant abuse!

There really is no hope now!

Then why not remove the suspension altogether?

Seriously...NO.

8v's can perform to. I've got a 16v, people could say to me: why dont go 20v ?


I worship people who can make the switch and go for looks

[Waugh-terfall]

i just realised, even I'm 16v and I'm DOHC, and I'm electronically fuel injected <3 my car
