well done sterling. its such a good feeling finally getting your build registered.

this is my old one. lowered 2 inches at the rear and 1.5 at the front. was a pretty good height

front looks about the same, maybe a bit higher, rear is definately lower on yours. im scared to drop it too low for po-lice...

its 1.5 at the back, and at a guess probably about the same at the front.

heres the pics!


[:x)]

haha well i never got pulled over in mine and it was my daily. but i am also in SA not VIC..................


that height looks nice. in mine if i had anyone in the back seat the rear tyres would rub on the guards. but mt rear tyres were wider by the looks of it

yeah these tyres are just 175's

Its a great feeling when they hand over those plates, well done.

Next purchase going by the photos - Storm cover.

ah yeah already got a few of them. unfortunately this will be my daily! so yeah she will be putting up with some abuse over the next few years. just gotta see how she can put up with it!

If the springs at the front were new, they will drop a little more as you get a few km's on them and they settle a little.

When I first lowered mine it was on 1600 struts and the tyres were well inside the guards and I got pulled over all the time but they never once said anything about the height. It was always just for coppers to tell me a story about an escort they/a mate used to own haha.

haha thats funny as.

well after a sh*load of fiddling, and learning (i love learning), i got the throttle setup completed, so the bracketry will hit the idle speed screw, and still open all four butterflies fully.

and after some more playing i got the carbs to enjoy life a bit more!

love the sound and power improvement. still need an exhaust though.

battery died last night (so my starter solenoid stuck on, always does when battery is dead) and in a panic i reefed on the bonnet release handle, snapping it in half [8~2]) but owell, still a little bit to use until i replace it
