Good Idea!

Love it Trev ....

sorry trev to burst yor bubble but yor half a bumpstop suspension travel will soon be consumed by the kids and luggage

when you get a chance load it up and go for a drive just to check on tailshaft clearance, you don't want to find out when leaving for narranderra i've had them with plenty of clearance but when driving and with some load over bumps etc it'll rub, in the convertable i had the carpet catch fire from the tailshaft constantly rubbing

Maybe a set of coil over shocks might help this situation?? Even with two shock hangers in each side??
Just an old speedway blokes quick fix here...

Scotty.

or air shocks but run a seperate air line to each shock

No bubble bursting going on there RB , I will test it out and do the easiest thing to rectify the problem, take out the lowering blocks, cut them in half, re-drill the hole and stick them back in.

I have about the same clearance in my EK (fixed after the Forbs nats) and it gets loaded up (boot full and the fam) and it handles it no probs, thanks for the concern Mick , Trev .

Went for a spin and I get a slight rub doing a left hander so up it comes (a bit)

Looks cool Trev, a shame you have to lift it a bit...

Yeh it sucks but I still have to load it up for the trip to the Nats. I ended up taking out the 1.5 inch blocks altogether and it doesn't look too bad .

Update on the engine, it runs good but it had a gudgeonish sound so it's going to the place that machined it all for me and I am paying them to pull it out strip it down and reassemble it so it will be perfect, I have already had it out 3 time for various problems and I am sick of $*#@ around with it so I'm opening up my wallet to make the problems go away .
Taking it there Monday, booked in for a RWC on Thurs and rego on Fri, (hopefully ), Trev .

I hope it all works out Trev ad that you don't have to open your wallet toooo much.

Hey Trev, just checked out your thread. Geez the wagons looking very cool . Awesome job. It does look good low. Now a few questions for you.
1. HK/T/G rims?
2. The baby moons, do they just fit like a normal hub cap? I'm assuming if they fit HK rim they'd also fit HQ rim.
3. Rough price on the baby moons?

Cheers
Sam

What a pain in the ass Trev!! Good luck.

It ended up being noisy timing gears, wasn't expecting that kind of noise from them, but they will quieten down.
Glad I got it checked out for my own piece of mind
