September 28, 200817 yr comment_277734 Saw this for myself today and must say it looks heaps better lowered that lil bit more. Now for some balls to go with the brakes and suspension! Cheers Matt. Report
September 28, 200817 yr Author comment_277751 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, 200817 yr by Bowler Report
October 12, 200817 yr Author comment_280959 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... Report

October 16, 200817 yr Author comment_282060 Its good to hear your car is'nt a fuel slut anymore He he, My ford is the biggest slut going round. 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 Report
October 20, 200817 yr comment_282916 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, 200817 yr by Paul Report

I was quite impressed with the handling, I must say. 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...

October 20, 200817 yr Author comment_283162 I really like this, it's making me consider a sedan, i've always been set on the hatches, but daym.. 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...
