Only just started using it again after my brother ran in and shouted 'SOMEONES PUT YOUR CAR ON INSTAGRAM' haa! DannyParanoid

The joys of being non static suspension, if my front bumper doesnt quite touch the floor, if I lift the back a bit it does touch

I dont think there's one organised, im game for a small meet at some point though, i'll get my brother to come in his 6n2 as well!

Ah thats fair enough, they were about when we left, at about half 11 haa! I dont tend to go to bury much, been going a bit more recently haha!

Yes indeed you did! You weren't in that group of people with the golfs were you?

This may have been me, but i dont think i have a headlight out!

Suffolk people! Im sorta almost from suffolk, im from Wicken near soham but sometimes im about Suffolk way!

Took the roof rack off this weekend, it now looks like its lower, but isnt, undecided as to whether to keep it off or not now though!

So, photos! This is basically what my boot looks like on a standard day: And here's all the hydraulics stuff underneath: It all just about fits in, I won't be taking it out at any point in the future anyway so no worries there!

I dont think they will fit, when we did my brothers 6n2 they looked completely different from the Lupo ones, the rears are a combined shock/spring whereas the lupo ones are separate

I have thought about it, but i havent really been bothered by it, i dont think its worth the effort running a whole new cable from the alternator to the battery in the boot, i'll take some photos of the install in the spare wheel well later so people can see what it looks like in there!

Well, air was apparently slightly cheaper, but because bags are wider than hydraulic rams, depending on wheel widths you may not get the clearance, plus you don't have to wait for an air tank to fill up with these, just up and down as much as you want! I have to charge the battery once every coupld of weeks, but plug it in overnight and its done by the morning, all is well!

If I had more room for more pumps and batteries it'd be quicker and more bouncy, it sometimes pops the rear up, but only by 10mm tops, i'd strip the back out for another pump and more batteries but the whole idea of the hydro's was so i could use the back seats again! Its all good fun anyway, i love the noise it makes!

Well, videos!

Totally forgot about these haha! It doesnt bounce as such, but ill get a video in a minute while it's still light!

Haha thanks! I love it, the reactions people have are priceless! Just need a spare wheel to put on the roof rack incase I get a puncture!

Well they're on the car! Had mixed opinions so far but hey, I like them and they've definitely got the reaction haha!

Well here's a photo of the wheels not on the car, couldnt decide between the colours so thought hey, why not do all 4? I can always peel it off when I get bored!

So it took a lot longer than I thought to do the wheels but oh well, finished spraying them this afternoon and i'll put them back on tomorrow! Plasti dip is amazing stuff to work with, even for an idiot like me!

When mine got siezed up, i had the 2 C spanners and a hammer hitting one of them, also try giving the nuts a small tap with a hammer, not so hard you smash out the C spanner grooves, but apparently this can also free off the threads!

Mine's been squeaking for over a year now! Should maybe just get it changed but ohwell, when its wet it doesn't squeak, might only be a cable issue!

Www.tyrestretch.com has loads of photos of different tyre sizes on different size wheels, try looking on there

Mine didnt fit on the brake rollers, so they took it out for a drive and made sure the brakes worked and didnt pull to one side, joys of having friendly MOT testers!

Quick one here, i want to get my front bunper touching the floor, but on full drop my exhaust hits before anything else, if you've got your front bumper on the floor how have you done it?

Well not much happening here! Wheels are halfway being through refurbed, just gotta be polished and sprayed, then they'll get back on the car asap!
