    Re: c1j top speed?

    Think i'd agree with brigsy, my 5 feels very stable, any play whatsoever in suspension, steering, wheel bearings is going to make any car scary at anything over 60. ever feel like its following tracks in the road and not moving the steering wheel? Then you have a fault somewhere. It should really feel tighter than any modern car.( stability wise on a standard car i cant comment tho sorry)

    Re: c1j top speed?

    Seem to have ruffled a few feathers there
    My cars pretty straight and true
    Perhaps scary not the right term
    It feels faster than it actually gong due to the size of the car
    Which always puts a smile on my face After five years of ownership

    Re: c1j top speed?

    So i hear its possible to access 5th through the gearbox sidecase, is it possible to take 5th from 1.9 d kangoo box or similar and put into a gt box while in sitchue?? i know this would mess the ratio up ect but i rarely use 5th whilst racing on my private road at my private traffic lights,, just want a nice economical/kroozing gear.

    Mine feels like the most stable one I've had. No wobbles, steering feels good, etc. The red 5 I had before this (the one I brought to ND '09) felt pretty unstable at higher speeds.. think that was down to the crap tyres more than anything!
