Just took a drive
Well, It started out with me being really pissed off and needing to just get out and go somewhere. I got in my car (the 240) and went towards what we call Paint Hill, It is a really twisty, curvy type mountain, well.not a mountain, but a hill..its a pretty good distance. If you where going the posted speed limits, 35 and 45 it takes somewhere around 30-45 minutes. I was goin up this hill at speeds ranging from 40 to 75 and 80.I did get a pretty good 90mph shot on a straight though!. (I know, it was stupid but hey, what can ya do right? I was mad and I didnt care). Well, anyways, i got to the end of the "loop" and realized that I desperately need suspention and weel/tire upgrades. The power of the stock KA isnt all that bad, but I was majorly understeering EVERY corner, and it was really starting to bug me. So, my next investments for my car will be intake, exhaust maybe headers, and possibly cams. But most of all I NEED SUSPENTION. I am only 17 years old and kind of have a very limited income. Concidering that situation what suspention setups would some of you reccomend? Anyways, thanks for the suggestions, hopefully I will be able to afford someting soon. Mav P.S.The 240 is the greatest car I have ever driven!! Well, not counting my grandparents 2003 M45....Peace

I say don't let your emotions get the better of you. You end up risking your life, and more importantly, the lives of others.
But unfortunately, this is one of those things you usually have to experience for yourself before you lose that immortal driver mentality. Just don't say I didn't warn you. And good luck.

Nah, this isnt an often thing..i drove that hill yesterday and i was like..hell..wonder what its like fast.. I am over the whole "immortal driver mentality" Just out havin a little fun...i was mad but thats not the whole reason I was driving like that..i was all there and did nothing i wouldnt normally do. Noone was out and i was also bored. Its really not too bad of I drive.. curves arent too hard...obviously small enough to take at 40-60. I had never drivin my car like that before and wanted to test it out..thats all, Mav...
