Evan G Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 mate how many leafs you running in the rear? its almost spine crunching! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLO-030 Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 KE30 leaves, reversed eyes, set for a 3/4" drop overall, extra leaf and a half rebound leaf on top ( half traction leaf/ anti-tramp leaf) Exactly the same setup as what's going into the back of the wagon.

greenmac80 Posted September 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 mate how many leafs you running in the rear? its almost spine crunching! yeah what ryan said. half rebound and 1 extra leaf than standard. its stiff but not really that bad... well to me the missus doesn't like it but i do. confy seats help a bit. so i've jst been fro another smash in the hills and the car is much more tail happy rather than understeery makes it a lot more fun it grip a heck of a lot better so the corner speeds are much better. to help with the oversteery part and to get more grip i'm looking into a pair of 25mm bolt on spacers to bring the track out at the back. once i have some money behind me i'll be getting these wheels i have now widened out to an 8" at the back and 7" up front. has developed a fual leak from the metal line into the carby. will be fixing that this arvo.

greenmac80 Posted October 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Ok so last friday my hg went. Missin and overheating like crazy. Shit time for it as i was moving house all week. So i kept driving it all week. So shit got worse but had no choice. Anyway i dropped a spare head off and got it all machined and what not. So this arvo i changed the head over. Took 3 hrs. Won't know till tomorrow if its all good waiting for the goo's to dry. Fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenmac80 Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 not much to update on this thing just enjoying it out in the hills a lot. do have plans to have some 14x 8.5" rims for the back with new tread before x mas. also end of december its coming off the road for 3 months.. and stictly 3 months that how long i'm allowed to have a spare car to drive. in this time the 4e fe will be going in. and the car is getting a full respray including rust cut and panelling this time. with flared front fenders. unsure if i'm gonna flare the rear. will decide when i get to it. may even shave the rear vents as i now have a lot more expeience in panel work than i did in my last attempt. i have a boot lid laying about that has had the lock shaved so that will be going on. Door locks will be disappearing too. changing the colour as well stay tuned for the colour... thats all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenmac80 Posted November 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 ok so i know the name of the paint now. its called 'voodoo' will look horn and i have a trick idea up my sleeve that'll make it really stand out. so i've started on panel work now while i'm still driving it. looking a bit ghetto but it'll do. i fitted up a pair of guards i had flared from my 55. and they looked good, one red and one black, i purchased a pair of kesev front gaurds from HAZZARD (good dude) i was going to use them for the rear but i decided to redo the flare job on my front fenders so out came the grinder and the welder. so my front fenders are now flared 40mm each side. and they look great! i have to do some panelling on em but they're looking tough.! well i'm still in need of 2 more kesev guards to flare the rear. i also purchased a new front door from 'oh ke' (cheers dude) so i only have one more door to find rust free. after some measurements.. i found that i can get my corona wheels modified to fit a 15" band. so with the flared guards i'll be going for a 15x10" rear wheel. and with the fronts i'll be going with a 15x7" wheel. lotsa grip! 5 inches or so of dish in the rear too. anyway i'll get some pics up on the weekend when i have some more decent pics and some finished products to show.!
