Here you go pal...





And this is what it sat like on the lowest setting... about 70mm



Blimey the car looked different then lol.

Slammed_Posi_Vtr 8th December 2008 23:04

How low can you have it keeping the arch lining in matey?

CHIP 8th December 2008 23:12

Well the i cut the lining because i thought the 'coilovers' were going to go lower than 70mm (which they didnt)... but to be fair if they didnt rub at 70mm it certainly would have at 80mm i reckon. It would have been very close lol.

CHIP 24th January 2009 23:55

Last of the lowness...
 
Well people, kind of an end of an era for my car i guess lol. Next Saturday i should be raising it (and fixing the axle). Going to be about 80mm on the back after, so not like it is now. Which im kinda excited and kinda abit down about lol.
So anyway, me and my mate decided to go take some pics before it was raised... hope you like.









And possibly my personal favourite, due to the colour:

CHIP 24th January 2009 23:57

And yes, i look a goon on that pic haha

LEE_VTR1 25th January 2009 00:26

mauritius blue always looks good when light shines on it like in the last picture dude.

shame about the raising but its a good thing i guess.
dont surpose youve got the tools for your raceland coilovers have you?
i could do with a set to adjust my lockrings.

Afraid not dude. I sent the whole kit back and got my money back (eventually). Sorry.

As for the colour, yea your right. My mate once got a picture in daylight (lost it now) and my car was green, blue and purple. Looked awesome lol.

Thats partially the reason it's being raised. I can get over them, just have to be careful. But they're now building them outside work, so i'll have to tackle them everyday :(

-Richard- 25th January 2009 00:56

what you got at the front?

It uses the Wolfrace wheels as it's summer shoes. But im thinking of going for something with abit more dish and a tad stretch next year. As for S rims, i'd never do it. I just see too many of them lol.

It now sits higher on the back end. I've measured it and before it was 120mm. Now 90mm. Pics to follow.

But cheers dude. Always nice to read stuff like that lol.

louis_23 4th February 2009 14:34

Centre of the hub to the top of the arch dude. It kinda depends on the wear of the torsion bar i think. But it'll be rouhgly 80/90mm. You can't set the bar in mm increments (sp?). It's just where the splines are.

CHIP 7th February 2009 14:28

Got some pictures of the car raised at last, just given it a quick wash as the roads are crap :n:
Here they are:










What's people's opinions?
