Hey rat dudes and dudettes. I'm new to the forum and aircooled in general, after mucking around in a water cooled for 9 yrs. Boris the rat is on it's way though, buying all sorts of bits from ebay.

Thanks guys and look forward to talkin'with fellow ratters.

As I said, I'm new so unsure of what I should be paying.
Thanks Dave


boristherat - March 16th, 2006 at 08:18 PM

Thankyou so much Dave.
I will give you a call when I am ready, most likely as we come into winter.
I am not the most mechanically sound person, so may need you to do the whole job if ok.

Thanks again and speak soon.
Darren

That one is this one.... http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=52697

The resemblance is uncanny. Dumping will happen before the Spring. Probably won't be quite as low, I've got a shit driveway.


boristherat - August 14th, 2006 at 12:44 AM

Yes.....it has happened at last thanks to the much appreciated efforts of a local dubber.
The stance is exactly as I had envisioned. 4" narrow and a bit lower at the rear.
Thanks again to the king....Aaron.


wacked1 - August 14th, 2006 at 11:11 AM

very sweet indeed that 4" narrowed beam is awsome
cheers

looks tres sweet boris nice work.rob.


65busser - August 15th, 2006 at 11:22 PM

Dat's da shite. Love it! How's it drive with the narrowed beam? Can you notice any difference?


boristherat - August 15th, 2006 at 11:53 PM

Oh yeah, it's a bumpy ride, but not as bad as i thought it might be.
I would probably struggle if it was an everyday driver, but as a lo n slo cruiser it is wonderful. It makes me smile all the time behind the wheel....and thats what it is all about. Thankyou everyone for your comments.


boristherat - December 24th, 2006 at 11:36 PM

Just a couple of new shots of Boris recently.
