greedy53 - July 13th, 2008 at 07:39 PM

true it will only make me fat i'll stick to water only


kyznet - July 14th, 2008 at 04:08 PM

That's a great find. I think food is over-rated. Spend the $$ on the SC instead. :)

and it's been lowered 6 inches at the back and 4 at the front may go down a bit more yet but i gotta say it rides really nice at this hight
the wheels are of a toyota and were a straight fit using mag nuts went to canberra cruised at 100-110 all the way and no vibrations and i had the whole lot allined and camber set no worries so don't tell me about the wheels i know and been using them for 10 years
I must say the 1800 motor is a great thing pulls like a tractor and with the 1800 box cruises all day at 110
love it not bad on fuel i used $60.00 on fuel to camberra and back plus all the cruising around canberra


rocknrob - October 2nd, 2008 at 06:38 AM

is the front lowered with an adjustable beam? how far off the bump rubbers are you? Its a wonder I didn't see you in Canberra I was there last week in my red kombi...not many pre 2000 cars there:smilegrin:


kroozzn63 - October 2nd, 2008 at 01:06 PM

great stuff steve well done.
And thanks for your help with my low light Cheers Brendon


greedy53 - October 2nd, 2008 at 04:40 PM

i seen your red devel i was 30 feet away from you as to lowering the front is down 4 inches no ajustable just removed 3 bars from the top rail they were broken anyway and i removed the bump stops this is my second lowlite and the last one went for years no worries it really does ride nice on standard shocks


rocknrob - October 2nd, 2008 at 06:00 PM

Geez why didn't i think of that? Ya wanna lower ya car ya just take half the springs out:crazy: Good one I'll give it a go:tu:


greedy53 - October 2nd, 2008 at 06:45 PM

its been done for years before some smart alic started to use a ajustable beam
now keep this to your self the buggers removed some torson bars and then used camber ajusters that you can still buy who da thought


Klaus - October 20th, 2008 at 08:37 PM

nice s/c , didn't have the golf i sold you for long . As long as its on the road and not in my yard. Also scored myself a sc just a little older than yours.

One word......... DODGY:td:


Klaus - October 22nd, 2008 at 01:46 PM

I bought a set of bay gates and treasure chest door from wreckers for cheap and wanted them off the grass so i bought a sc to store them on , seems like perfect logic.


greedy53 - October 30th, 2008 at 10:51 AM
