Hello all from s12 owner & Forum Newbi

[PukkaSilvia]

17 years. Thats a long time to own a car. I would say fitting lowered and uprated springs is a great improvment in handling. 35-40MM shouldnt cause any problems and wouldnt be any lower than most modern day cars.

Its obviously a mk1 pre-facelift, is it a 1.8 or 2ltr?

Yes, 17 yrs is a long time now that you mention it, however there is one who has beaten me hands down on time of ownership: Paul of Silviagod as had one of his for 20yrs from new.
I ve had quite a few cars over the years, form a suzuki SC100,a humble escort auto(which was a real slug), & even a Lotus esprit. but seamed to have stuck to this old gal. she's done me very well over the years, never let me down.
Yes, she's a mk1 pre facelift 1.8 turbo.(hope photo come through ok)
