anastasios Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 hmm i think it needs to be lower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowler Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 (edited) hmm i think it needs to be lower Given i do close to 35K in this a year, i prefer a lil bit of comfort over ball dragging. plus, go too low, and the thing will kill me in the wet - when i skid straight on into another cyclone fence :yes: Matt - Power = work in progress...meaning I'm broke, hehe Edited September 28, 2008 by Bowler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowler Posted October 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Okay, time for an update. Finally got around to painting the strut brace they other week, so now it looks a classy gloss black. Secondly, its at the doctors this week, to get its head checked (I would do it myself, but lack of time + lack of garage means I've got no chance). if it just needs re-shimming, I'll have it back on monday. If it needs more terminal work, soo hoping to have it back for the cruise. If not, I might have to either catch a lift, or suck up to mum to let me use her car...

Ford 68 Litres fuel - 460kms Corolla 42 Litres - 500kms she was almost that bad before - it turns out the issue was the exhaust valves on cyl 3 weren't opening at all, so byt the end of it, it was a 3 cyl. and it was using close to 11L/100....it was pretty bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) If it wasn't for Matt's pano break down I probably wouldn't have ended up having a passenger run in this thing yesterday. I was quite impressed with the handling, I must say. Good work :yes: Edited October 20, 2008 by Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good work :yes: cheers mate, apart from a numb brake pedal that one time, it felt great yesterday - really adjustable...Am quite happy with how it goes at the moment, if only for a bit more guts...

Keep up the good work bro. Cheers mate - They're worth it - especially if u nee a place to crash :yes: but even the load area - although you can't store the higher objects, you can carry more, and it's quieter (also probably a bit stiffer, due to the brace across the rear parcel tray... On a completely unrelated topic - where in melbourne can you get a silver top halfcut? There's a place in Sunshine, but no s/t's at the moment... Any help would be greatly appriciated...
