Turns out it still had the og shocks in the struts.       pulled  one of them apart.  found they have a  stopper on shaft to limit extension travel.    chopped that off and welded it back on 40mm lower.  did some super janky shaft re-polish.  they were leaky anyway so whats a bit more.   also "machined"   the little spacer plate on compression side of shocks. to effectively make  bleed holes on compression side smaller.   so  will have who knows how much more compression dampening,  along with 40mm more droop for those hectic  jumps. 

I want to add a second shock on the rear that only starts working at  last 1/3 or so travel.  so its like some kinda amazing redneck hillbilly   bypass shock  

Looks like player two has entered the game with space x on launching gc to the moon.....

Cool when can we book it in? I assume working brakes won’t be necessary ?

I think your cert plate is invalid bro? They don’t seem to include your fully hectik lift kit? Any body lift more than 50mm needs to be certed aye

Fuuuuuuu your mate baz rebuild that one co?

Cut the springs? If it’s double wishbone you’ll be able to cut a heap of coils and still be captive

@cletus this will past cert aye?

Let the mayhem commence 

Is there any Toyota strut that will bolt into a ke20 and raise the ride height but still allow me to retain factory brakes/hubs ?

Wipe some epiphos on the bare steel. Seems to keep surface rust off quite well on bare metal cars while we work on them

Found these in the bush near Raglan a few years back.

Dattos returning to nature...

Did you grab the plate? Be so keen on the plate surround 

Maybe we got lucky then I flew down from whangarei and dragged my one out so he probably thought I was the fruit loop haha

Does anyone have photos of the Mk1 golf that was inside?

Finally found my pictures from this place. 

I also tried to get the Honda but he wasn't keen at all but he's moved the bike off the back since I was there. 

 

Ranfurly guy?

if so me n my mate bought some cheap early rare Mk1 golfs off him. Was easy to deal with but they were outside cars so may not be as attached to those cars

If the loop is open won’t it put it into defect though? #ampacjunklyfe

^ There looks to be a jz base map that comes with pc link.  with stepper set up in it.   some of the stuff they have in base maps its way off., some is good.  maybe worth a go.

are you trying to run it in closed loop?     try open loop if so

Time for a roll cage now you're doing sweet jumps?

Extend over the deck like a baja for extra  chassis rigidity 

Lol safety defeats the purpose of paddock hooning

Strap gc to the back and then jump over the bmw?

1 day pffffffffffffft gummmmmmon

Who would have thought all the cars at your house and Ol gc is the reliable one ha

I have tried paint stripper and it didn’t really do anything. Seems wet sanding is the only way

Yea cutting paste didn’t work ether.

have tried thinners , crc , brakekleen etc

fine sandpaper seems best so far

Yea that still didn’t work. Have just started wet sanding it off and it’s working pretty good just slow

So I’ve bought a car that some one has just spray painted mat black over the original paint. The pressure washer can only get the loose stuff off but not the bulk. Thinners doesn’t seem to remove it ether, is there a product that will remove the spray paint but not damage the original paint to much?

cheers

They seem to be shaped differently around the ignition
