Yesterday we were headed to the farmers market at the Bundal races to stock up on fresh fruit and veg ect.

Tried to get into the first drive way and went in really slowly because of the shape of the driveway. Half way in one of my back wheels came off the ground and I lost all traction. dam coilovers! I then had to get in and push the car back off the driveway and find somewhere else to park. I had to convince my gf to get into the drivers seat of the car i wont let her drive. There was alot of traffic and a good 25-30 cars banked up before I got moving.

I had a good old laugh about it but the bloke in a 4wd behind me was quite pissed off at me.

I dont think my gf will let me live this one down for a while.

o i hate coil overs for that.... i got stuck everywhere i went... as most parts around where i lived had speed bumps and steep driveways.. so i just learnt to adapt and walk longer :)

its fun when a 4wd has to wait though haa... but sucks when the roof line is under the bonnet and they cant see you :S

LOL, thats pretty funny. It's always fun pissin off people in 4WD's as well. They piss me off just being on the road hahaha.

its funny when im in my 4wd n u got a lowered sports in front of me n i got my head lites on at nite it really pisses them off lol :blink:

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
