he didnt....he sold it to his stepmum....lol

the most indestructable cars evr made.....

That's phat. I love how you can lower dattos so much that the wheels sit IN the guards, I wish you could do that with Corollas.

 

I remember ages ago when Craig and I were still building our cars, and Craig showed me photos of his Datto, it had like the wheels sitting in the guards and all that, it looked SO COOL.

 

And then I put the suspension in the car, and even when I took the springs out and put the car on the bumpstops, it still wouldn't go anywhere near as low... So lame... And that was with shortened struts and everything!

Corolla on bumpstops:

 

Datto on like, "highest" setting... With FWD offset rims!!!

 

If the rims actually fit under the guards, he'd be able to drop it another... 3 inches??? And *still* not be on the bumpstops!

Haha, the bumpstops are small enough as they are :D

PHAT datto :D

 

 

 

 

And it handles too! :D

That's phat. I love how you can lower dattos so much that the wheels sit IN the guards

minitruckers call this "tuck", and is something to strive for

 

i've read about dudes who've sold utes just because they couldn't get them to tuck

that's called a body drop

no strut towers or springs, they have double wishbones and torsions bars in front

 

then dudes cut the rails out at the back and weld those bit notches in. usually when you bag a truck, you swap it to 4 link as well. some really endeavouring people even swap to IRS with bags

That is soo, soooo very cool :D

 

Dammit, Corollas were never designed to be "tucked" :D

 

The closest I've gotten to "tuck" is this cool photo by Haikal, Queensland Challenge 2005:

 

 

I mustave been like 1mm from the bumpstops :D

box the rear above the diff, change to 4 link and bag it. moving the fuel tank is no big deal

 

get new coilovers made and cut the inner guards out, make new tubs from just sheet metal bent in a curve

 

i reckon you could get a corolla to rail easy enough

If you had some bigger wheels on it...it would "tuck"

Cautions? What's that? :D

Oh, haha, now I know what you're talking about. No, that photo was actually at the 2nd one (ie, the slippy 3L into 3R, 100, STOP - or something along those lines) :D

jamie you might know this already but get your self some 4wd front guards for you lux.... then tuck is no problem...... umm if only yours was an 84 model i would send you my spare guards LOL there bright yellow.... YA YA
