No problem. That's a shame, looks like it was a nice '2.

yea was putting a lot of work into her as well
Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Snap back oversteer
I wouldn't bother unless you're turning it into a pure track only machine. You shouldn't ever reach flipping limits on the roads because of hard driving
If you can do that /\ at 25 imagine what shape it would be in at 60mph which is very reasonable speed to be driving..
Thing that puts me off is that if I go with the cage apart from looking stupid when i get in and out is you have to go the whole bucket and harness route and i dont think harnesses are good in a head on style collisions..

Stock wheels as well would think they would be more controllable on the proper sized wheel and the tires look good..
Shame to see man... Every ones wrecked a car at some point though, never flipped but I completely totaled my m3 and that was a pricey car

What tyres did you have on the car?
Best thing you can do is slap a set of best you can afford, quality, grippy tyres.

oversteer, that sounds dangerous

Used to be scared of the limit but theres nothing sweeter than getting it right in the 2... Used to power it to get a bit of back end kick but i found heavy braking in to the turn gets the smoothest break away then its just poweeeer until you straighten out..
Definitely a second gear move though tried a big one in third and it caught traction half way through and spat me off in random direction if i had been on the road it would of been a serious wreckage..

I've got a set of T1Rs on the front with T1 sport on the rear (205 front 235 rear) on 17s, I can't imagine the welly I would have to give it to lose grip, they're superb!
