Today I fitted some new shocks as the others I got were going to cost $900 parts and labour to fix.. so I purchased a full set of Old Man Emu 4 inch shocks and the difference is brilliant.
The car handles so well and it makes me realise how bad it was before and on the last day of the Licola trip the old shocks were rooted, had some scary moments on those tight winding roads.
Also at the moment the car is running perfect and I think its funny that I have this engine almost ready to go in and it is the best its been just about since I have owned the car...!!!
Cant wait to test the shocks on the tracks..

When is the motor going in?
So are you running 4“ springs and shocks or 2“springs with 4“ shocks? Or what?
I have 4 inch shocks in nearly a 3inch lift... I want to go a full 3 inch lift and am looking at options for springs that will handle the load a carry..
The drive home from AB's last night on those roads was perfect.
As for the engine I am trying to work all that out as the place is still a mess from everything that has gone on here for the last 4 months and I do not want to then pull an engine out and have no where to put it.
I need to get my hands on an engine stand so I can do some work to the engine before it goes in and I still need to get the gearbox out of the donor car... I am starting to think I will get everything sorted right and not rush it while the chemweld is holding out.
Stay tuned.
Oh no!, they are famous last words!!
Will it hold till October?
Hello from Under Down Under!
Its actually Cargo treatment so his car will go lol
I had it in my vl for 3 years before i turboed it and it held up allright even tho i used to race, breakies and 3rd gear power skids in the wet ( only need 5kw in the wet lol ) and not to mention inertia drifting around corners by throwing the T bar from D to 1st to start the drift with a compression lock up ( saves the hand break )
