Steering very... jumpy

Absolutely spot on

FWIW, the only reason Lisa's BB1 has been off the road for well over a year is because the 4ws rack is drokked, which coupled with the change in wheels/tyres and worn suspension bushes, makes it absolutely awful to drive.
Don't get me wrong, you can drive it 'safely' (it's not suddenly going to launch you off the road) but it is all over the place, squirming, wandering etc. needing constant minor corrections.

Yeah that's what mine does but with any sort of uneven country road, even motorway at half decent speeds you're more or less launched at stuff lol

Suppose I'll have to get this looked at
Just a pain to take apart the dash to plug in one bulb and probably have a complete system error lol

Guy I bought it off was 16 and had been doing burnouts daily ffs... Tells u everything

[mercutio]

probably something really simple also the 4ws disabled will highlight any other issues and make it feel like a real pig to drive

Just as an update to this:

Today I swapped back to my "throwing star" alloys as they have winter tyres on the back, most of the problems are away -.-

Still a little slippy round bends and tyres are like new but that's another issue lol. Doesn't feel like it's trying to kill me as much

With problems -
205/45/17

Without problems
195/50/16

Any ideas? Wheels were all balanced and checked with no buckles or cracks welds etc

Whats the offset and width of the 17"s. Low offset can change the scrub radius and cause alot of tramlining. Mine tramlines like a penis but i dont mind.

[MaccaIRL]

Off set I've no idea about
Width is around the same as stock so I'd say 7

When you were looking at the wheel studs though, you could see the hub nut poking through and actually came through the hole for the centre cap

Dunno if that made sense or not lol, bought them off a guy who had them on a civic type r (ep3)

WHeels nuts are different between stock and aftermarket. Its the seat design. stock wheel nuts would not work properly on my weds and vise versa.
Same on my van.

[MaccaIRL]

Yeah got the cone shaped nuts too lol

Even had spigot rings fitted to eliminate the wheels
