Cheers but nah its just fitted with coilovers front and a custom rear with ajustable shock and very very compressed rear spings. Wouldnt mind bags but wouldn't know where to start or if I could afford them. Be pretty cool tho.thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alternator was playing up and the clutch on alternator wasn't engaging properly as they get stuck and don't kick back so started to destroy the batterys and typical faults been thrown out. 3 weeks later re connect battery and its charged itself up turned it over and it's been good since but just waiting for scan tool to clear faults and will just drive it until alternator shits itself again as I haven't got a lazy 5 to 1k for new one. Beside that these are one hell of a car and with a air and fuel tune on duno they go pretty hard.thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems real low as its got heaps of guard over the rims etc but its got good flat thru clearance underneath the car maybe 60 to 100mm somewhere I'll have to measure it. No cert as of yet this is to be done shortly can't afford to get slapped for that. Rides very well tho. Has a typical low low bounce but very smooth and not ridged bouncey just feels like any other car really thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
