yoeddynz Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 sooo cool. I love the fact you can sit on the wheel while you adjust the carb etc. my ex girlfriend owned a herald- we drove it from Blenheim to Queenstown in middle of winter with snowboards sticking out so convertible roof had to stay down. Fuckin cold. Dressed like eskimos. Slept halfway down in some farmers barn. Car used one litre of oil per hundred k's. Great little cars.

trumpet Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 you planning on keeping it mostly original??? i dont think i'm gonna change anything major really, engine swap at somestage but I have a dolomite 1500 lined up that should bolt straight in. just tried a wheel and tire on earlier and the offset is a bit high. i doubt it would even fit under the back. looked staunch as a mofo but its a no go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB8-TypeR Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Offset too low* High sucks in, low sticks out. Lower it, more camber will make them fit, or narrower tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I've read some comments that you have to be careful when dealing with lowering the swing axle rears otherwise you end up upside down in a ditch, as lowering without uprating the spring supposedly increases the tendency for these things to tuck the wheels in under decel/cornering. Super cool wagon though. A Vitesse from Retro Rides forum... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I understood it is that lowering helps to fix the problem of 'tucking and jacking', since lowering would give it negative camber. Which would mean you have to have alot more body roll or whatever in order to make the outside wheel get positive camber, or tuck in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
