well if they have to meet emissions targets...go for it!

At the end of the day, you have to have it's big brother to get one which is a smart idea. Makes it easy to say 'I drive an AM' and I think the resale will actually be pretty good because everyone that can't afford a proper AM will look for these on the 2nd hand market.

Just please don't make it look ugly which it does so far. Turbo it.

I really don't think it looks that bad. You need to remember this is a car built for fuel economy, safety and being aimed at the low cost small car market. Compared to other cars in the market it will be competitive against such as the Echo, Getz, Fiesta etc i think it outclasses them in terms of looks.

Although I don't particularly agree with the fact that in order to buy one, you need to already own an aston martin. I think thats a bad move

i guess there's a market for it...like any business they are taking the opportunity to make a $$$$$.

Speaking of opportunities to make $$$$, have you guys started filming home videos yet? I'll be happy to direct...

      Squeaky bushes

      Maybe but doubt it, when I jacked it up it was creaking in the j arm again. The inners are all good, I inspected them. Remember that also it did fix the problem but temporarily.

      Could be the other bushes. The inners.

      Once you lose the adjustable bushes, you have almost no adjustment at the front for anything that matters. You can only wind so master caster at the front, and ~7° is fine. You won't have choice of front camber. If you only have rear camber arms (ie, do not also have adjustable upper tension arms), you shouldn't change their length very much, because you will introduce bump steer. And, you will struggle to find a workshop that will be capable of doing all the adjustment work necessary to simultaneously achieve a decent rear camber number, get the toe right, and minimise bump steer. I would guess there's probably 8 hours of work there. So, stockish rear camber is fine. Although, keep in mind, that stock camber, by number value, does not mean stock arm length when the car is lowered. You will need to lengthen the RUCA to get back to stockish values and that will require the tension arm to be lengthened a little also. Without any other guidance, any change made to the RUCA should have the 2/3 of the same change made on the tension arm. But that is only a rough rule of thumb and the relationship might not remain linear across a wide range of adjustments. And it might not also be as close to minimum bump steer as you could achieve if you did the bump steer measurement and adjustment properly.
