Title: Progress shots Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on June 25, 2004, 10:35:52 AM Not much, but at least it is some progress, I have started up my own site in the "free" 10 megs of space that my ISP gives.

Title: Re: Progress shots Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on June 25, 2004, 12:03:24 PM What's got me buggered at the moment is the rear ride height. The springs are supposed to be 2" lower than standard and I have a couple of 2 inch "pinus radiata" lowering blocks to try to get the ride height I want but the rear is still too high. I figure the wheels being 14" and 65 series tyres would be almost the same as the original 13" with the 80 odd series.

have u used the LED's yet? I was thinking of using some too, but afraid they may be too bright? do u need to wire them into a PCB or anything? Cheers Ed PS I like the dragways better. maybe you can set the spring eyes as high as possible to achieve the desired height (just guessing).

Title: Re: Progress shots Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on July 03, 2004, 08:12:06 PM Sorry Ed, missed your post.
I haven't tried the LEDs yet, I hope to be getting a sparky around in the next few weeks. As to the springs, I am glad I erred on the side of caution and had the eyes reversed so that going much lower isn't a problem.

Title: Re: Progress shots Post by: Ed on July 06, 2004, 03:35:38 AM thanks Stinky,
Harko, LED's just for idiot lights on the dash etc, rather than using bulbs. I thought it may be anadvantage not to have to change bulbs etc, and they are also physically smaller. Cheers Ed Title: Re: Progress shots Post by: HARKO on July 06, 2004, 07:17:44 AM Nah ED I spelt it correctly.
It would look extremely individual with lead lighting ,Not LED lights - bad joke i know but ive got a million of em hehe |
