Guest Poo Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Whole-e-crap, this is looking good. Those before and after pics up there ^ show what an awesome job you've done. That front lip is bad ass. Top job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sparkle Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 This looks good Michael. How low is it off the ground at lowest point at the moment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Raizer Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Might help with the squatting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kyteler Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Jam them in around the shock, you reckon? It's coil-over. Just needs stiffer springs, a common problem in 30's, it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kyteler Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Sparkle. I got curious and went to see how far down it was after it settled. Front chassis rail is 105mm, Engine Crossmember is 110mm. Rear subframe at lowest point is 115mm. So it's pretty much at it's lowest point right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rookie Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 So you can lower it some more? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sparkle Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Perfecto then man, good height for hooning, and shouldn't be an overall cunt errryday (/IM A WUSS) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kyteler Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 So you can lower it some more? I could do. But working out the precise amount to trim for 5 and 15mm isn't high on my priority list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest UTERUS Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 When my soarer was a daily, it was 75mm to the front crossmember which was lowest structural point. Lowest bit was the exhaust, at like 40mm. It was sweet man. Triangle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kyteler Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 You had better suspension. I'm a square, or a rectangle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Born Loser Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Looking bloody sharp dude! I remember very well not so long ago seeing this car in a very bad state! cant wait to see it again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kyteler Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Yeah man, it's come a long way since that day on a trailer outside your place. Hell, it can drive for starters! I think you'll like it, it's no VB110 but you'll like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Born Loser Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Ill like it! I dont have much like for VB110. Im sick of pushing mine outside to clean all the dust off it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest coldturkey Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I must say I am a fan of what you are achieving with this. It does need to go a little lower though... Bite the bullet and go through the cert process? or have you got a long term plan along those lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kyteler Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Nah. I'd only bother certing it if I went L28T or some such. It's not supposed to be a massive project car just another part of the collection. I'll re-visit it after the 110 and 21 are finished or well on their way.

Guest Orion Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 You win by default. I clearly can't match this level of epicness, gonna concede defeat and bring my RX-7 to Nats instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest projectr30 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 i think its at a good/practical ride height and look's f***ing sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kyteler Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 i think its at a good/practical ride height and look's f***ing sweet. Cheers man, I do too. As for you, Ed. There's no way you'd do that, the fuel bill would be horrific. Hahah. Which reminds me, on the open road she gets close to 10 litres per 100km not the 15odd for city driving.

Guest stagefumer11 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 looks damn awesome dude Rear end squat is hard to get rid of due to the rear end design. Even mega high rate springs they still squat.. great for making your mates heads hit the rear window on 1st to 2nd shift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
