MichaelJFox Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Yeah man's shes a tidy wee car. Patina'd paint though, but solid as. I'll focus on getting her a cert before I spend any other money on wheels etc. It'll cost me enough to keep buying rear tires haha. Getting her raised a little (20mm) on Thursday just to save these shocks till I get shorter ones. As I've got about 30mm clearance in the rear, been told it's too low by a few people. But we'll see what the cert man says haha. As Snoozin said she was on TM, but I got her through NZVWNUTZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Speed Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 raising (and lowering) is a piece of piss with these... However the key to making tyres last is longer or extended spring plates... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJFox Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 That corrects the toe-in rather than the camber ammirite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borgweiser Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 You know what I'm gunna say, but without sounding like a suck nut you sir win the prize.. Please don't go sanding any panels etc, Cali Look FTW May I suggest more power? Would be happy to help in building up another 1885 screamer for this with dual bugpack and 40 DRLA's Fuck yeah, makes me want another, know of a chopped oval just crying out for a split conversion and mega drop and smooth black with peppermint and white interior (car wank) Send me a Mercedes and I'll send you an injected 1600 twin port wrapped in a fastback body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJFox Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 ^ Shit, good point. How's the motor in that? Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borgweiser Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 That corrects the toe-in rather than the camber ammirite? Yes but that prevents scrub, go for adjustable spring plates as well if not already on. Can shorten shafts app to prevent masses of neg camber, as cool as it looks tyre wear is a bitch plus fast driving sucks a fat one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borgweiser Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 ^ Shit, good point. How's the motor in that? Haha. mint, on second thought hate to see another hoodride die for the cause. What motor is she running at the moment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJFox Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I'm gonna stick with it as is for a while, I'm okay with buying tires. All kinds of driving sucks haha its floaty as hell all over the place, but I fucken' love every second of it. The original all mighty 1200cc lump. With a 1500cc gearbox for a longer ratio 4th.

Borgweiser Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Fuck that, Hitler motor of shame, in saying that I have new 1200 barrels and pistons here for you if you want. No one else does.. 1600 twin port would transform and it is the only base to start from TBH.. You sir need an anti roll bar for the rear to cure wobbling, find the VW Beetle performance handbook by Keith Seume. Will be your new bible, as it was mine.

10Speed Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 dodgy handling probably means you need to fit some castor shims at the front... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Speed Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 btw the 40 horse engine sucks... you need 2387 with 120hp looking forward to building one for mine soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelJFox Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 dodgy handling probably means you need to fit some castor shims at the front... Maybe I should look into this. It's just quite "floaty", easily manageable, but a bit of a wake up if your not used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Would have liked to have gone, but had other plans sadly. Car's looking perfect. You wanna bring it to Ardmore show thingy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJFox Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Sadly no can do bro. Work all weekends, only had this one off due to girlfriend's 21st. Would've been sweet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
