Thread: D2's flexing

Nothing amazing about my flex here, but i just wanted to show off the new car

Anyone has drilled his bushes to improve articulation ? If yes, how ?

Ill post up pics once the new lifts in

Hey mate About the Sway bars?? how dose it go on road with out them I look at it the other day and thinking that the Ace will pick up the slack and keep it from rolling on turns...... this true

Taken on a 4WD test track at Werribee last August

personally i think it makes it better. It smoothes out alot of the bumps and just gives it a smoother ride. Its not a race car and is driven accordingly. Having said that i dont think it has changed the speed or ferocity that i approach corners (I am 21).

I havent towed anything over about 1.5ton since i took them out so that may be something else to consider but in an ACE equipped vehicle i can only assume you get the best of both worlds. In my case i want maximum off road performance and am will to sacrifice its on road manners.

Same lift with the swaybars in still,

Excuse my mates french

Posing flex shot.

Sounds pretty good My D2 is pretty much a off road car I hace a Hiace for work and the wife has a sport for the faimly so, the disco only gets used for trips dirt and snow.

Think I'll be taking them out next time i do work.....(don't tell the wife)

Here is my D2 flexing, its not the best but there never is a camera around when truly flexing. This shot was taken today at Wombat State Forest, car setup is ACE, SLS, 2" lift (HD dobinsons coils up front, waiting for barwork) and bilstein shocks.
