wat a day wait for it????????????? (SA)

ok bought the exhaust cat back system £230
deecat £100 4-2-1 branch manifold £200 plus £100 fitting
so thats a big chunk out my weekly wage? any way it gets fitted sound
pick up is better getting threw the gears faster but theres a bigger problem
for the last week iv been earing screaching coming from the one of the wheels so i took it to kwik fit bloke says yes its the bearings on the front passesnger side wheel he says dont worry it wont come off?

so last night i was on the way to monster truck show in birmingham and and my back drivers side wheel over takes me yea seriously and this is about 2hrs after my exhaust system got fitted and im so lucky to be alive has id been racing my m8s 172 cup all day and the only way i kill him is on roundabouts has my car takes them at 60mph cuz of suspension so your lucky im posting this right now!

any way at the the end of it all i had a ride in the aa van and found out iv crushed the back stubb axel and its being done right now!

wat should i do slap exhaust off or keep it has i think it a bad luck omen cuz my freind rit his car off the day after he ordered is exhaust!

oh wat a night! pics will be in my garage nxt week!

advise u hear any screaching coming from wheels access its clart or u could
end up in final destination like me!

Your mate either doesnt know how to drive his 172 cup or isnt pushing it that hard if a corsa beats it round roundabouts...

i think the best thing to do is not fdrive round roundabout at 60mph with a dodgy wheel bearing. And try somewhere else other than kwikfit as im sure front nearside bearing will have no connection to rear off side wheel.

LMAO, thats quality

a properly driven 172Cup will DESTROY a Corsa, unless its sitting on coilovers with a heavily modded chassis.
It sounds to me like you are a bit of an idiot, you have been told that a wheel bearing is knackered, yet you still rag the nuts off it? what do you expect?

How has your corsa been modded for bends??? you have put lowering springs on it??

whether your corsa has been modded for bends doesnt change the fact u knew your wheel bearing was f*ked...... plus you heard strange nosies from the car and you still took roundabouts @ 60?????? FFS i hope i never see you as i will twat you round the back of the head with a scaffolding pole......

I wonder about some people on the roads I really do.

Also do you know what happens when a wheel bearing goes??? chances are it will lock your wheel up.... so being passenger side hopefully you will end up in a ditch not hitting the car going the other way......

you m8 with the clio cup must think its great you keep trying to race him as he can keep destroying you.... hes prib slowing down on roundabouts for you to catch up LMAO

His clio is made to take corners very well from the factory, it doesn't need modding to be able to beat near enough any Corsa on the twisty stuff IMO

Clio cups are a different league in terms of handling, they leave my 106 gti behind on corners, let alone a corsa.

What suspensions mods have you done?

well iv watched top gear and even clarkson could not keep the back end from sliding out so watch that or better still drive one like i have then tell me wat u think! the back end on the clio cup can easily swing out unlike my corsa on 15s with gmax kit lowered by 4o mill!

if its driven right then yea but its a dangerous thing to do!

drive one then come back!
