  1. I like it. (waits to get beaten like the wimpy kid at the play ground). I'm quite surprised that the front end can get away with looking like that though, cos just thinking about impact requirements etc.

  2. Snitch is good. And you get GPS too. Kill switches wont stop thieves towing it away.  Best bet is to have a combo of everything. GPS for tracking your car from pros, and kill switches from stopping lil Jonny joyriders.

  3. So finally after about 3 weekends of not getting the time required to work on my own car, we finally got the car lowered and the wheels on in the Crown. 

     

    Went up to Pick a Part with one of the rear springs as a measuring guide to see what would work for the rear. Scouring the truck and van lines meant that the springs either were too short, or not wide enough. Finally scored a piece of gold in the form of rear springs from an AU coon. Perfect fit.

     

    Jammed it in, didn't even need "modification" and it was bang on 100mm and captive! Rolled the car out, and a bunch of big boned mates jumped in the back for a test drive. 

     

    Rode smooth as silk, but it needs a bit of rebalancing as there is a bit of a shake at 100k. And cos the car is underwheeled and undertired, speedo is out by about 10k. But it looks perfect and is exactly the look I was hoping for. We then waxed and cleaned the whole car, and I got to be OCD and cleaned up all the chrome bits and started polishing the wheels. 

     

    This picture was when the back was full of wheels and tools, so the rear is lower, but when all the crud was removed, it sits bang on even! So stoked :)

    Then popped home, did some more cleaning and whacked on some tire shine just to complete the car and yay, it doesn't look like a sack anymore!
