Yes - It's something they are trying to get going on a Friday night.

It will be minimal entry fee and like a motorkhana / gymkhana.

They are in talks with the council to try and get land.
Those dates were just guessed and it definitely won't be starting when it says. So keep an eye out.

What BZG said.

Orientation makes no difference unless they are not seated properly.

You could argue (and I have) regarding keeper springs but I don't think this is an issue for you.

Prado is a car with big suspension and more space.

Cruiser is a truck.

Dads 80 series has done 550k and nothing has gone wrong at all.
They pulled the turbo to bits thinking it must need something by now - it was like new.

Cut the springs.

If you have inactive coils cut them out half at a time.
Don't cut from the other end as that will reduce the spring constant much more than taking out the inactive coils.

They should still be captive. If not next wof get the shocks shortened.

Keen to cut the top off the ...

Go to local mechanic for wofs.

If he complains take them off.

Pretty sure Champs are welded from the factory.

The bolts are for aesthetics.

In saying this you can cut them open but unless you want a 10j wheel you will need to buy wheels that are wider anyway so you may as well just run them.

Any old Japanese wheels are worth too much now.

Its got nothing to do with suspension, media, police, roads or anything else.

I could drive round in a high power FR car with the hardest coilovers you can buy, on space savers, in the wet for a year and not spin out.

I got a whole AW11 exhaust here that will bolt to your car. Has two cobies.

Sounds choice. Thinks it's got a 4" tip on it haha but I would cut that off if I were to use it again.

Can get some picture if you want.

Can deliver it in Auckland next week too if you're keen.

Why are you spending all that on racing suspension?

Get some harder springs and nice shocks. Will drive nice and be better in the hills.
