S2000? + Car Loan Questions

[warps]

If it was that close to the road, then it either had totally shagged stock suspension, or very badly modified suspension. Unfortunately the Civics and CRX's attract wankers and ricers who love to do these sorts of dodgy mods, so there are some real death traps out there. Trust me - stock R spec civics and CRX's handle fairly well. With light (sensible) mods they can be very sweet handlers. If your mate's was darting all over the road then I suspect it's been very badly modified, or it has something seriously wrong with it.

Also, I thought that any engine swaps / mods made cars illegal for p platers, so if he's running an Integra engine in a CRX I think he'll find it's not p-plate legal (even though it's not super quick)

Yeah it's definitely not P plate legal, it's been mod plated for the engine.

When I drove it I wasn't taking it easy (but in saying that I wasn't driving like a tool, just having a crack to see the acceleration), but on a bit of a bumpy downhill section it spat me onto the other side of the road, I wasn't even under power, just cruising.... It's low as anything as I said, and I'm not sure if it's bushes or dodgy shocks, but any small bump it makes loud banging noises, lol. As I said, it's a defect mobile.

It goes pretty damn fast for what it is, though. I didn't look at the taco but when I was giving it a hiding it must have revved to 9k like the s2k is supposed to. It seemed faster when I was in the passenger seat, but I guess that's always the way.
