Hks Wagon Suspension...

[SuperRetard]

Fitted that HKS kit off eBay this arvo... the most difficult thing was the instruction sheet. All japanese except for odd measurements.

First time fitting, we decided it said 36mm of preload... we couldn't get the jack out.

Second time, we decided it must be the 50mm measurement... couldn't get a hand in between the tyre and the liners...

Third time, we tried the 76mm... and I've driven home in a go-kart! Nearly span it twice (it's wet) 'cos she's soooo soooooo grippy, right 'til the point the tyres say "no more!"

Got 4 new tyres on order, lower profile for more room in the arches. My liner is <I thought I could get past the swearing filter - what a sad muppet I am eh?>ed on both front wings, and my mission for the weekend is to find somebody to roll my arches!

SLAMMED! :D

[SuperRetard]

Crappy moby pictures will have to do for now... but you get the idea!!! :D

Cheers

[eternity575]

yeah...looks super cool!

but.. what about road bumps..

wont they make any damage?

[jaxx]

brilliant :D

[SuperRetard]

arch rolling... any suggestions for the East Midlands, North Lincs, South Yorks?

[jaxx]

i know a lad local to me who does it or did do.....

[SuperRetard]

got a number for him?

[jaxx]

not on me but ill sort it out

[SuperRetard]

Might be ambitious, but I'm trying to sort this by the end of the day... I'm on one.... NEEEEEEED to get it done. Got a set of 4 ContiSports (195/45/15) for £156 (trade :) ) But the liners and need to move and the arches need mo' room...

[SuperRetard]

Just phoned a few body shops, the most amusing being DJs just down the road...

"Hi, I've got a Yaris, do you do arch modifications?"

"No mate we only do proper cars"

Click brrrrrrrr...

:censor:

[SuperRetard]

At this rate, I'm gonna be doing it myself!!

what is the world coming to!

[starletsy]

have you tried Central motors in Grantham mate?

[SuperRetard]

Hmmm no.... Had a quote for a full-on custom widebody kit tho'! But I don't have £1200, and it's a permanent mod to a £6000 car...

The next big expendiure is £1300 on that Greddy Turbo from hopupracing.com

[SuperRetard]

Anyway, just spent 3 hours (!) adjusting the front shocks up another 20mm, which combined with the 195/45 tyres SHOULD give a little more room...

[SuperRetard]

Ok, have adjusted it several times and settled on 93mm of spring preload on the front and 53 the back, with the following results...

Could be lower, but my arches won't take much more!!!

[Chuck04]

looks sweet mate, very nice indeed, man i need to get mine lowered

[Ryan1985]

Very nice mate looking good!

Cheers

[knightrider]
