ArosaMike Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Awesome skills. Reminds me of a mate at Uni who is like that. Him and his Dad have a machine shop at home and he's currently in the process of making an Austin Seven special for hillclimbing. Whilst the rest of us get iPods and stuff for Christmas, he gets TiG welders and panel beating hammers/rollers. You name it, he can do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1 Lupo Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I was going to say, my cousin lowered all three of his by draining about 80% of the hydraulic fluid from the dampers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Green Giant Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 is that kind of the same as cutting springs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDGM Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Not really, all it does is take the pressure out of the hydragas units which would be like replacing the springs you have now with those out of a biro.I lowered my Metro Turbo by cutting the actuator rods down a bit (there's a formula for doing it like cut 1cm off for a 3cm drop) and upped the fluid pressure by 40%. I also made the rear units independant from each other. It was a hard ride on 175/50 13s! Body roll was "non-existant" though, ARBs front & rear as standard.Happy Days.
