My Brand New FTO...I think..!

[gfalls]

Got the ARB bushes and drop links done today. Picked up the car an hour ago, and I think they gave me the wrong car. It looks like my car, has the same number plates, but, bleedin'ell it don't drive like my car. Why oh why didn't I get it done sooner? The steering now feels so much more positive, and it corners like its on rails.

The mechanic said the drop links were in a terrible condition. I asked what would have caused it. Irish roads, apparently..

Anyway, I'm now like a kid with a new toy. I love my FTO even more now..!

€312 all in.. Good???

Good stuff, I was in the same boat last week.
I got my exhaust (nearly) sorted and new tyres, huge difference....

Sounds like a good deal.. Is that for all ARB and droplinks front and rear?

I did the rear ones myself. But its the front ones that make the real difference.. I have all the parts but no time so far

They just did the front ones. The back was OK.... But WHAT a difference..I'm still smiling, wife thinks I've gone mad (or got another woman hidden away..!)

Yeah the front ones are the hardest to get to thats why I'm shying away from doing the front ones cos I know its going to take some time!
My wife constantly fears I will leave her fo another car
