hello and welcome.

damn sunshine coast mazda are big rip offs.

see you at the next cruise.

Sodzy · 04-06-2009, 07:25 PM

welcome mate, sure you''l find plenty of info here to get that car doing 12's down the quarter mile.

first things first though..... that car is waaaayyy to high, is it for use on a farm or what?

go out and buy yourself some king springs, buy me some while your at it.

mussing · 04-06-2009, 07:35 PM

That's just a BA thing, they're not actually heaps high, they just have big spacious wheel arches to fill.

70NYD · 04-06-2009, 07:57 PM

welcome to AGT mate
the gap in the wheel arch is there cus the BA was designed as a 4WD

jks

Sodzy · 04-06-2009, 08:35 PM

4WD! I've seen a smaller gap on my uncles john deere...

Rix · 04-06-2009, 08:41 PM

Project.r.racing i'd agree with that lol, everyone keeps telling me to get it lowered but my driveway is terrible if i lowered it anymore i think my car would be scratched to smithereens

Sodzy · 04-06-2009, 08:49 PM

nah mate she'l be right! nothin that a bit of Bog wont fix..

Rix · 04-06-2009, 09:19 PM

Bog?

70NYD · 04-06-2009, 09:21 PM

u can always drive in on a angle, or put a plank down where the driveway meets the road. u can put a long wide plank and a long narrow plank on top of that both touching the driveway. make it eazy on ur self

dont let something so silly stop u from doing what you want (if thats what you want) i can get up most home driveway, but as for shops i park on the streets, cus you cant reverse out of a shop, and reversing off is easier than driving off (curve of the road in profile)

Rix · 04-06-2009, 09:25 PM

Lol atm i take it one wheel at a time:P i still remember i told my mate who was driving his brand new 08 Lancer es not to park in my driveway and he did, he has a scratched bumper to prove, lol:P i just turned around and said i told you so
