std car

[luke]

i love it-there are no rattles and bangs when going over potholes etc and at speed its so much quieter its unreal. i may just keep this one standard...
we'll have to see though :/

I honestly thought mine was arguably "better" once returned to close to standard!

Standard is the way forward, just replace all perishable items ie; bushes with standard parts and you're away

Quite, basically change the wear parts and jobs a good'un!

Thought id pipe up! :wink:

Pips (my Puma) is completely standard, only the perishables replaced. They look great as is. Simples.

I agree with you that the Puma still can be quiet, even 10yrs on. Indeed I quote my boyfriend from the other day in Asda carpark where I cruised alongside as he put the trolley away...made him jump :grin:

"I love the fact this car is superbly quiet"

ye i think i will get this one on the road then start replacing all the bushes etc

Thats the one and only thing i miss. Fitting a full miltek sytem has made it really noisey especially on the motorways. I can remember doing 90 when it was standard and thinking wow i can hear myself breathe! Not the case anymore and i miss that.

Quite. The mani and systems aren't all they are cracked up to be.
