how does it drive? gears, and on the highway. was there a power loss or much of a noticable difference?

[Saam]

mine still went 110 on the highway with 30's and standard motor and transfer, you do notice it, it is not so much bad but different..

[paulv]

Is that chrome grill/headlight surround standard, or something that you have purchased aftermarket.

Mine has a boring black plastic one...

thanks sam, what abou taking off as in getting to 60,basically dirving around town, slower? and corners?

[Shaunoszuk]

Yeah as Sam said, it is a noticeable difference but it will reach and sit on 110 along a straight flat stretch provided the headwind isnt too strong. Any head wind and 5th gear is almost useless and hills hurt a bit too.

As for around town, it seems to be fine, a little bit harder to get off the mark and you find your into it a bit harder to get it moving but all in all it doesnt phase me.

By the way mine is the stock 1.3 without any gearing or performance mods.

i like driving on my 30's better in regards to corners and what not, feels much more stable, you just have to remember your speedo is out or you feel like it takes ages to get up to speed. Otherwise it never bothered me either

[Shaunoszuk]

yeah it doesnt bother me, corners seem the same, as long as the pressure in the tyres is high enough.

I had a gps with me the other day and it seemed about 10% out. So when i am doing 90 on my speedo, its more like 99 or 100.

As somone on the other thread has already said, the LE came with the chrome grill, i was just lucky to find one in my area for the right price.
