Yeah I had a trial fit but thats as far as I got, it would have needed a lot of work to fit and then I wouldnt have a rear bar.

As for airbags ,Id love to but Im pretty sure that there illegal up here
Its got pump up shocks in the back and Ill have it as low as it can go

Its illegal, doesn't mean you can't do it.

I've got a whole bunch of mates with bagged minitrucks, and i know Mark from Voodoo Tattoo has a bagged Caddy, Mez's EK is bagged.. ect ect.

Theres heaps of bagged cars in QLD. I'm thinking of bagging the ass end of my EK.

Just make sure you run spats or cruiser skirts, and don't lay rail around cops or drive too often, too low. I doubt they'd ever suspect it.

I think theres a couple of ways around it, kind of..

My mates with bagged trucks told me to make it a bolt in bolt out kinda deal, so if i got caught and told to go to QLD Transport for an inspection i can simply unbolt it all, put the stock stuff in and get it checked.. then put it back in afterwards.

I had the thought of if the bag mounts were welded to the diff, instead of bolted.. just get two EK or whatever diffs your going to use.. one with bag mounts and the other standard.

Haha, yeah.. Myself and two others. One has an EH wagon, other has an EH wagon with a 4 or 5" chop, back door welded up and turned into a panel.

Rest of em have minitrucks or jap cars. Can't win em all.

And we wonder why the RTA come up with these knee jerk reaction rules
like the 50mm one.

Im going to extent the lower edge of the bonnet by 10ish mm, Ive already tried 40mm lower with rounded edges and it looked hideous,troble is when you do something like this you dont know how its going to look until you see it in the flesh.
I just ordered some headlights with leds in them,the bottom leds will be indicators(yellow) the top parkers(white)hope the authorities dont mind,heres what they look like(white ones)
