Fair point i can understand where you're both coming from but this is just how i roll, i'll most likely get a 'decent' car with a Chris White approval stamp in a few years but while i'm young and still live with my rents.. why not, could learn from my mistakes or i could have a sweet car at the end of it, who knows eh. But i'm building it so that i can go low without breaking things, raising the engine, chassis notch, tie rod flip etc, eventually re-enforce the bottom of my car / sills.
You've cut notches in the legs that provide crash crumple zones and support the engine in the car. You've raised the engine out of where it's been designed to fit and deform in a crash, you've flipped the track rod ends so they may be acting outside their design parameters.
Not only are you a bloody danger to yourself, but also to others on the road. Your suspension will be incapable of sucking up any bumps, to maintain the wheel's contact with the road and thus grip, increasing your stopping distances and (as Chris has mentioned) the car's fitness for purpose.
Frankly I doubt your modifications are insurable, let alone insured.
You strike me as quite possibly one of the stupidest people modifying cars on this forum today.
It's not 'how you roll' it's a danger to the rest of us and I hope it finds you points and fines before too long, as given your age you'll be off the road and uninsurable for some time.
Even then I suspect you'd probably drive unlicensed and uninsured, because 'that's how you roll'.
'how you roll' is no excuse for the b*stardisation you are committing to this car.
It's a licensed, legislated-for mode of transport, not an iphone cover or some other BS lifestyle enhancing accessory, which is what you're treating it as.
Grow up. Cars are for adults, skateboards and BMXs are for children like you, who shouldn't be allowed a tonne of metal missile to drive into other road users with no idea of the consequences.
Example of "on paper one thing, in theory another".
I'm sure the car is fine. You just adjust your driving style to suit.
Before you start, I can assure you, I raised my car to standard height today. Went round a roundabout and the wheels lost grip under power and the car understeered.
When it was lowered I could have done it a whole lot faster and it would have gripped and it was at the bottom of the threads.
That's real life example for you. Plus the brakes are sharper.
