It is a savage car! In most of the those pictures its got 4 inch lowering blocks on the back, thats why in certain pictures it has different wheels on the back as its sooo low

I think he's changed them now so its got three inch blocks on the back, so could run the 7x13 minilights all round

I've been out in it a couple of times, only 1700 i've been in, but it dont half shift compared to my 1400. Looks 10x more awesome in the flesh though

I think he's got 5 deep dish minilights as well, and 4 have good tread 195/45/13's on, rare tyres, i should know

Got sh*t loads of potential if you've got the dollar

Yeah i've seen the pictures on facebook

Looks nice and tidy
Welding the sleeves on doesnt do the job

Although the ride height is still adjustable, you still run into the same problem as cut/very low springs - The damper isnt shortened and sits in the same place, so the footvalve destroys itself on hard bumps. I've got a good idea how to use standard dampers but still reach the required lows
