g.l Silver Donating Members 26 Member For: 6y 9m 18d Location: Carnarvon Posted 14/09/19 02:26 PM Share Posted 14/09/19 02:26 PM Swapped out the Lovells sports low for super low on the rear. Brought back memories of the XE when the springs fallout when jacking up (at least with the BF I can still open & close the doors on the jack). As I do on a casual Saturday afternoon a few beers help the install and as I can't take it for a fang to settle or see improvement (I have a long driveway), Ride height hasn't changed yet and given how tough these little springs are I can't see a further inch in drop and thinking the rear swaybar has to go now. Time will tell I suppose. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80918-what-did-you-do-to-your-car-today/page/981/#findComment-1688412 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am working through my pre-Snowies to do list! 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80918-what-did-you-do-to-your-car-today/page/981/#findComment-1688436 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyatt Donating Members 70 Member For: 5y 9m 4d Gender: Male Location: Cairns Posted 25/09/19 02:40 AM Share Posted 25/09/19 02:40 AM (edited) Built some ramps over the past week using scrap scrounged from various sources. Excuse the dodgy paint job. Nice to get under and take a look and get familiar with whats down there. Also checked for any leaks after Atomic oil pump gears fitted.

I have to put some pavers down when I use my ramps, as the front bar hits the ramps before the wheels do.

Wyatt Donating Members 70 Member For: 5y 9m 4d Gender: Male Location: Cairns Posted 25/09/19 11:29 AM Share Posted 25/09/19 11:29 AM I'm in a low lying area in FNQ and the threat of inundation is real during wet season, so all important bits upfront will be +400mm higher than what they otherwise would be. Just gotta make sure I don't get lazy when big rain is forecast.
