It's been brass monkey territory on the Central Coast for the last few days, still nowhere near as cold as Canberra or Taswegia though

Still when you have 40 degrees and 95% humidity, we will be a little more comfortable

Yeah camping in summer is a 5 star affair up here! As is anything outdoors!

"Summer" over here in Europe. Not a p38 in sight in Frankfurt . We pick up a Merc SLK today for the week (it was the same price as a Hyundai i30). 25c and clear skies, well at least for now .

Gary

That's the go!

Bugger! Europcar didn't have the SLK waiting for us but they did have the BMW convertible diesel. I've been impressed so far. At 200 kph fue consumption is only 5.5 l/100 k! As well as being quiet it is also very responsive to the right foot.

If only we could do these speeds on Australia!

Gary

Yeah... Plenty of Auzzie roads are in good enough condition for that ;-)

Not bad for a diesel mate!

Here's the kit minus the extended brake lines. Ready to bolt in.

The kit includes:
Spacers (2 rear ones are at an angle to compensate for diff rotation - not necessary for the front as they do not rotate as much)
Spacer pins (the 4 steel objects which have been machined flat to replicate the locating bung on the piston of an air spring)
Spacer pin retaining clips (if you've ever worked in the mining game you'll know what these puppies are!)
Terrafirma TF144 shocks (all of them)
Mini turnbuckles (6mm thread)

Will be late August (once i'm back from the cape) or early September that I fit it up... I want to have 1 month to play around with the height sensors and make sure i've got it all right before i'll put my seal of approval behind it. I have some very hard tracks that i'll take it for a play once fitted.

Cheers

Brilliant - looks great. Can't wait to see how you go. Would love to see some dimmensions/designs to try and replicate myself - subject to copyright and intullectual property restrictions of course!! The spacers look do'able DIY wise, but the pins would need a lathe/milling machine- yeah?
