    4" of ground clearance isn't enough? I have 2" between my subframe and the ground :o

      Took out my stereo and glovebox out of the 626 today to have a look at the heater controls, the heater servo wasn't connected to anything, and there were some broken levers that were hanging there, as well as a smashed in piece of the vent system where one of the flappers is. I'm wondering now if I should just swap the engine into my P5 like I originally planned. Everything is well sorted on it.

              Yep 4" should be enough, when everything fit under the hood the oil pan was less then 3" off the ground. I didn't want to rip the pan off road racing. Now I have 4" between the pan and the ground, but the turbo and throttle body need hehem power buldges to cover them.

                Took my new stiva over to my friends so I could use his lift to do the inner tie rods. Noticed I really need to do a tie rod flip. I've got it so low they're almost hitting the body. Also tried to replace the leaky wheel cylinder but they got me the wrong one.

                      oooh just when I was moving all my stuff from London to my parents (3.5hrs roughly) I was just driving it nice and easily but I guess the roads were just too rough for the girl and next thing you know the car starts pulling left HARD when I would brake...I thought it was a sticky caliper...turns out I wasn't so lucky lol.



                      I had about 700lbs in the trailer, and about 400lbs in the car...so nothing it couldn't handle (we tow our PWCs with it sometimes)

                                got a sharknose lip and stitched it back together, finished putting the bolts in for my motor/transmission.
