Body kits look good. Bit worried about "speed humps" on our roads. Do you have them in Finland ?.

Oh yes. Seems like they're everywhere now. As I recall the ones in London were pretty humane in terms of driving over them at the speed of that zone. Here you have to be really careful not to drive too fast over one, because they are apparently meant to slow you down to snail pace.

They are a pain in the arse. You can imagine what ambulance drivers think of them, and, more importantly, their passengers.

I was in Kenya in early June and they have also chosen the bigger is better route for speed humps, only they put them on main roads with no sign to say they are there and with such bright sun you can't differentiate between shiny tarmac and shiny speed bump, especially with heat haze when the temp is in the hig 30s and the sun is directly overhead. We hit one travelling at a reasonable pace (around 60mph) and smashed both front shock absorbers, in a Toyota Land Cruiser. I was only glad we all had our seat belts on. Bloody good fun.

Although it sometimes feels OK to go over any speed hump fast (20 - 30 mph), it is actually doing a lot of damage. The exhaust system gets shaken about and the bearings and mounts on the suspension and shocks quicky get worn out.

It really is best to go over any hump dead slow, unless you don't mind paying for new suspension etc a few years down the line when the damage that has been done become apparent.

Pimp me up baby! Whilst the front of the car looks good, there are now at least 7 distinct horizontal lines on the cluttered rear. Mmmm.

pikkumies · 28th July 2006, 09:55

Aye, i agree.. front is aggressive. I also dont like the fact that the plastic skirts are painted to body color, costs a shitload! The rear spoiler is absolutely horrible

pikkumies · 28th July 2006, 10:03

Yep, that's the same body kit that is on the TYPE-R.

Well..

better wait for the type-r then

. If it's not horribly pricy

I assume that the bodykits arrive without paint if you order them? Has anyone ever had a full body kit painted? How much does it cost?
