Yea right, interesting, almost like you need a pair one above the other, anyhow all good.  Btw whats the downwards blue triangle on the back door, assuming front one is elec shut off?

Looks awesome that height and with the lower profile tires.

Toyota did a good job with the SC400 coupes, suspension seems to be falling rate+ rising rate bags = very linear! “Battery inside” is the solid blue triangle.

Yeah I think it doesn’t look bad, downside is the AWD running gear adds 50mm down below so you can’t run it slammed unless it’s a very smooth track!

Your parts are on their way!

Today p.s

Just been out doing the last bit of suspension adjustment, driver weight compensation, locked it all up and refitted the shock covers, stick a fork in it it’s “done”.

Yep just waiting for the Machine shop to reopen and finish it up, also have the AWD Monaro I built coming back for a Trans build and a refresh/reseal on a VY SS Wagon so plenty to keep me busy in the new year  :XD:

Today End!

Had a thought overnight about the reinforced control arms hitting the front discs… the rears use a very different offset but unlike the front it has backing plates, checked this morning and yep there were witness marks that could be a problem on full compression if they pushed the backing plates into the Discs… DOH..

Bit of a re profile was in order so now it has adequate clearance!

Bin full of Swarf after making the Pivot ball mounts for the shocks!

(bin was empty when I started)

Gotta be happy with that. Did a bit of a shed rearrange myself today to fit the splitty. Got a few things i reckon i might try and shift on. So when is the LE back from the engine guys?

Yep always good to turn surplus parts into $$$ I was going to build the Tray into a Tipper but it wasn’t ever going to happen…

The Machine shop is back on the 4th January so shortly after that I hope, they got the Stroker a few days before they shut down so doubt anything has been done.

Yea for me its as much about freeing up some room.  Cool, you get to play with some nice gear.

Extra room is always a good thing, I freed up a LOT this time last year when I chucked a mate and all of his crap out, gonna be busy here the next couple of months so it’s good to get the Lexcen suspension sorted.
