Whats a decimal place amongst friends…

Hey not being critical, at the end of the day it’s your car!  And there is a def difference from oz to NZ, and actually even state to state in Oz.  Here in SA, it is no part of the car can be lower than 100mm.  On mine, the critical area was the bottom of the headers clearance ro the ground.  Thank goodness for adjustable coil overs

It does seem a lot.  Just trying to imagine that, so it would basically make the bottom of the front K member that much lower assuming the body of the car is at the same height right?  That would make it pretty bloody low, less than 100mm which is legal min-height here in Oz I am guessing?

Emergency stop switches have arrived, hopefully, on the weekend get a chance to look at which is best and mounting it.

Hey Gary would be no different to putting spacers between chassis and x member and we went though that a page or two ago

Yep, prob me just overthinking it again…

Just catching up on these.  The programmer and frog one is gold!!

Lol, thanks guys.  I went and had a look at the scene if the crime. It’s actually quite unbelievable how close I came to disaster.  I would.like to think it was my skill but the honest truth is it was a huge amount of luck.  I thought about buying a lottery ticket but then thought I think I just won it!  Def have to sort it out though so there is zero chance of it ever happening again.  Emergency shut off and positive stop on the linkages.

Dropped the wheels at the rim place today, both are still dead true, so just scratched up a little.  Bit of a tlc and a re-powder coat and away we go.  So glad I got out of it so cheaply (and safely)

Just an idea if I could cut 20mm out of the height of x member where the sump sits reinforce it so it still looks factory then lower the rack plus 20mm spacers on the chassis.

IJ is probably better to answer this, but I would think if you lower the rack 20mm, you would need to also lower the ball joint mounts out at the wheel hubs to keep the steering geometry correct.  Can’t see an engineer liking that though…

My 911 had them .But of course it was the lazy old mans tiptronic, so no heel and toe required…

Actually thinking about it I welded and gusseted mine and the engineer had no issue with it.  Man that starter would get hot down there!  It’s busy enough on that side without it.

Nice. Yea when I had the Kombi blasted was told there was pretty much only one place to take it to that wouldn’t wreck it.
