Big hammer and solid hits to the knuckle does the job.

Something different. Wired my climate control up last night.

Now i just need an ambient temp sensor, a/c compressor, heater hoses, and gas. haha

But it works. Will post the instructions I followed in the how to section. with a few modifications.

Alright. Took the Nolathane rear upper control arms out of another VN i have. Slightly used, But didn’t cost anything. and chucked some stockers into that. If the Nolathane crumbles ill switch to another brand.

Will do the same with the lower rear arms, which are also Nolathane, Then plan to cut another pair of lower control arms i have to box…[Read more]

Thanks! Next event is early november. Got a few things to do before then. Like. Lower the rear more. Somehow. Sway bars, including twin rear. Hydro with dual calipers.
The steering arm on the knuckles has been shortened. And vs rack ends + tie rods fitted. So the stops are whats stopping steering travel. The guy that modified the knuckles…[Read more]

Right. Have internet again. And a shed!

Heres a few pics. of the last day.

Apparently, I was supposed to cut the lock stops off of my control arms. which i didnt do. so will do that soon and see what extra lock i get.

They did. Not a whole heap of adjustment left though. And not practical in a daily. But thats not what it is.

Mounting a swaybar and new rear suspension is next.

I have a fair few photos of the day now. Just need to wait for internet at my new house. Then ill put some up.

Currently dont have my laptop. So no pics.

Suspension upgrade was a success. Handles a whole lot better now. Still some bits to work on though.

Drove to the 2nd driftkhana event. Thrashed around for 6 hours. Developed what i believe to be lifter tick. Comes an goes. Destroyed 6 pairs of average tyres. Popped at least 3 tyres. Then drove…[Read more]

Got it to an acceptable height. Had more adjustment than i thought. cant go much higher. seems good for now.

Will replace them with commo ones eventually. When i can afford.

Also replaced my rear upper control arms. Old nolathane doesn’t like clutch dumps.

Now for a wheel alignment. Pics…

I’ve seen multiple threads etc to suggest they fit. It may be that mine aren’t as long as other brands.

Ill sort something out. may go with vt coil overs. and adjustable top mounts.

What does everyone suggest? Thanks

I’m kicking myself for believing what i read on the internet. massive waste of money. looks cool though. doesn’t drive without scrubbing.
