How to lower your FB/EK in 2 minutes:

Post by J »

I am posting this because I know the race of restorer's is slowly dying out and becoming extinct, which generally means there will be a large influx of people on this forum asking about how they can lower their FB/EK (of course they wouldnt bother using the search button)

I hope this post will be made a "Sticky" as I have developed these methods so that the average anal dwelling monkey could figure it out.

Ok the first step:

You will need to source some Chlorine (pronounced /ˈklɔəriːn/ KLOR-een, from the Greek word 'χλωρóς' (khlôros, meaning 'pale green') which is often avaliable in your local pool shop, make sure you get a lot of it!

Second step:
The Chlorine will need to be deposited into a synthetic or semisynthetic organic amorphous solid bottle. aka Plastic, πλαστικός (plastikos) meaning fit for molding, and πλαστός (plastos) meaning molded.[2][3] It refers to their malleability, or plasticity during manufacture, that allows them to be cast, pressed, or extruded into a variety of shapes—such as films, fibers, plates, tubes, bottles, boxes, and much more.

Third step:
Slowly you will need to transfer the Chlorine in the organic amorphous solid bottles into the luggage compartment of your automobile, motor car, car or wheeled motor vehicle used for transporting passengers.

Be careful to now harm your intertransversarii muscle which facilitates movement between the individual vertebrae, and the multifidus spinae, which facilitates the movement of the spine as a whole. The easiest way to prevent injury is to use your quadriceps femoria.

Fourth step:
Once the Chlorinates organic amophous solid bottles are placed in the luggage compartment of your car, automobile, motor car or chariot you will need to arrange them accordingly. As shown in the two dimensional photograph below.

Fifth step:
Slowly close the boot lid of your motor car, car, automobile. Place one leg behind the other, repeat 2/3/4/5 times and direct your eyes towards the motor car, car, automobile and notice the significant difference in height.

I hope everyone can grasp the concept, it is a very easy task to perform and it makes a huge difference to the stance of your car.

you will probably want to remove them once you realise it doesnt go over bumps so well and the rear wheels scrape like a $*#@

Peace

Ahhh dude, used to have a mate that had the same concept in mind, except he was using engine blocks :shock:

Ummm also, a word of advice. In this day and age of terrorists and assholes, I dont think its really wise to be cruisin around with a boot load of full chlorine containers. If you get pulled up, you may get a visit from our friends at ASIO. Now that would be fun :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'd rather drive something made of metal, not plastic!

Lets hope your old man doesn't run into the back of you!

Chlorine burns hurt!

If I were you, I would be replacing those chlorine bottles with bottles of coolant, seeing as your car gets a bit hot.

Safer for you, and in the best interests of the car :)

Maybe if you had strategically placed all of those containers on top of the car prior to the storms (with the Mexican blanket to protect the paintwork of course) the damage to you ride due to hail would have been drastically reduced !!!

I found another way tonight.

Fill the car with passengers and put 4 adults in the back seat. :shock: :shock:

Car sits real low. 8) 8)

Unfortunately, mine made a strange noise when accelerating or turning.
And I did collect a bit of rubber from inside the rear guards.

But it was low, and I didn't have to load anything, they loads themselves. :D :D :D :D
