Softening the ride.

Well, I put the fronts to 32 and rear to 37 today.
It certainly seems to be a bit smoother, still rattles a few things but it doesn't cause my ashtray to rattle loose anymore.
Steering is perhaps a touch softer, but it was quite sharp before so it's still nice.
Immediately evident when I reversed in to the garage tonight though.

The lower pressures will cause you to scrub the edges off the tyres. I have Pirelli ATR as well and use 38 all round.

I rolled out of a B** J*** with new Michelin Latitude Cross pumped to 40psi all round and the ride was ****ing awful. After contacting Michelin I was told "run them at placard", which I have done for the last 25,000km. I get even wear across the tread, and no evidence of scrubbing at the edges.

You really are having a bad spell at the moment! Hope your Dad understands still

Ha de ha de ****ing ha

I'll have you know I've only ever reversed into one thing before, and all that did was crack the plastic number plate frame.
Left $20 with a note in the door.
Dad is still being cool, I mean he owned two landies, introduced me to the joys of Monty Python, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, etc etc etc so he must be pretty

And a reversing camera is on the cards, with a new slide out screen head unit.
I'm sure dad will appreciate it

For any interested....
When Phantom met Belle...

The large ding in the guard is from the tow ball, but hopefully it can be fixed...

It must be contagious. I backed into a tree while parallel parking in the city the other day. The back corner has been pushed in and sideways. Even managed to dent the roof.

UH OH!!

I may have started something the other night

running late taking the girl into karate, jumped in the Disco , into reverse, right hand down, back, and just as Gen said,MUMS CAR!! Bump!!

Lucky Lucky!! the passenger tyre on lock just bumped the drivers side bumper of the Cruze and popped a clip! Didnt even scratch it

just pushed the plastic back on its clips and all good

Well people will sneak up and park behind!!
Now all I have to do is live it down........................
