mines only 2" off the front bumper so it catches everywhere if going at speed even on normal roads without bumps but if u go diaganol across them then its fine


the real problem is backing it up the drive...2 of my cars catch on it cos its a hill btm drive:(  iv noticed 2 new craks on the bumper since it got taxd that wernt there b4 so best thing is pump up ur tyre pressure so u got more clearance lol:cool

Yep its one problem with these cars, i have to reverse at a diagonal angle to get the car onto the drive!!!!

Which is why the cars always parked at an angle on the drive!!!:(

Deffo change the japanese rubber.

I had some japanese rubber on my NA MR2 a few years back.

Never heard of the make of tyre, but went cheap on myself and kept putting it off.

Two weeks later, in torrential rain around October time on a country road the car just pendulums out on a slight corner at about 50mph. Even when I corrected it, the car settled centre for only a moment, then swung out again.

I finally slid to a rest with a tree trunk inches off the front, and another a metre from the rear...I had slid between the two trees!

£4,000 later - and some new Goodyear F1\'s, car was fine. When I later upgraded to a MR2 Turbo pushing out 300bhp - F1\'s still kept it planted in the wet.
