Excellent info folks, il look into it!
Thanks for the number too, and the chuckle Marcus 😀

Ha bummer on both counts, it’s a skanky old saxo and too far away. Cheers though

Pretty sure no power steering to start with (or it’s failed already!)

Looking to swap the springs/dampers up front….can I just wack on some a bit longer than stock to raise the front?

£80 depending on what you are after, send him a message.

tightywighty….ah I see! haha none of that on them 😆

I like those woodsman, where are you based if you don’t mind me asking, have a car to paint too!

Wiggles, I did think that too but the clear coat top layer seems really thick. I reckon they are pretty resistant to scratching.

They are on a Yeti ASR5-c

Price depends on what you want but from £80 for lowers.

orange peel

is that a secret pro technique? 😀

I won’t show you what they look like now…was mucky up on the moors!

So next silly question,

Can I raise the clearance a couple inches by just buying springs/dampers slightly longer than stock? I’m guessing a couple inches isn’t going to make much difference to the angles on the uni/shaft joints etc…

If yes, can anyone point me at some please?

having just finalise entry/exit dates for visas there isn’t much room to be broken down for days on end.

making up a sump guard template for a local smithy this week, and will be taking the cat off in favour of a through pipe after some good advice

Because like all bullies, we only pick on people significantly weaker than ourselves

Thank **** Bush ‘N’ Blair aren’t still in the driving seat. WW3.

Bos all day long, though curios why you don’t want rockshox again?
Fox are made of cheese….cheap cheese

My conversion was done by the previous owner (a fisherman 😀 )
It’s a very hack and slash job but works perfectly, no flash lube and no need for it according to the LPG guy in plymouth

Do it i would say, I drive a dual fuel kangoo van…its a good feeling filling up at half the price and not really being able to tell the difference in performance (it is only a 1.2 though 😉 )

great shout thanks

the open countries start at 225mm wide…way too wide for us, stock is 155!
The company are manufacturors and have nothing else in their range sadly, but awesome to have a set for the highways anyway.

for my first daft question, we have been kindly offered free tyres….
however for obvious reason they don’t have anything all terrain that would fit such a small car, would we gain anything from running ‘winter’ tyres of highways?

Thanks for the replies,

>>>Fixed link here<<<

Sui, I am writing you a mail now, thanks

I probably should have mentioned the car is a 2000 plate petrol saxo with 100K clocked(!)

signed up, always put it off thinking it was ball ache paperwork 😉 easy peasy

I looked at this calculator
and 175’s just feel a bit ‘wrong’ somehow like I am on a circus bike.

I’d go to 180mm but not sure if you can even notice the +5mm? thats half a centimetre!

lol….amazing

thanks edric, anything longer anyone?

xperia z1 here in a ‘ballistic’ case, brilliant, would buy another in a heartbeat

drive it to Mongolia!!!

that’s what we are doing with our old Saxo 😉

120mm on a 29er feels about the same as 140mm on a 26er yes?

Yum! If only the bright green were reduced too, may have been a winner!

not pink 😉

googling Solaris….

oi!….it’s on Android too 😉

damn….got excited that there might be another jumble!

used chrome and clicked view exif

Thank you very helpful il try that

how do you get info from photographs?

100% definitely worth it in my opinion.

10 or so quick stops and you can feel each one getting stronger

loving my Z1, lasts atleast 2 days of use.

if you cant be bothered opening the charging port get a cheap magnetic dock from ebay which connects with the small exposed contacts

never thought how useful a waterproof phone would be!

nice lights btw 😉

Currently at £6 million….what the hell!

thread herehome build a pop bottle thingy…

haha true molgrips but you can actually just set them to be which ever side you like

I have a couple of Osprey packs and would highly recommend them, very good build quality
