Neil showed me that ages ago, what happened to it? I had hoped to see it when we brought my mates five down (black and gold one). Which will be back with you soon as well

give ray @ rayvern hydraulics a call , he can make anything you need for either hydraulic/air suspension , im 100% certain he could knock you up a system to suit , i know on my mates beetle he mounted a 12" ram in the centre of the car which lifted the whole thing off the deck and allowed us to spin it round , maybe a bit exreme but you can see where im coming from .

im with tony,,, its just not worth it on a road car! and even on most race cars its not worth it

Tony Ryan

this isn't completely true actually , Airjacks are generally used as the cars are so low that conventional jacking equipment wont go under the car , you'll find that the years in BTCC that Mandatory pitstops were implemented meant that they all had 4 jacks , 1 on each corner , this was to assist in changing wheels by side and front to rear (98-2000).Since then only 3 are needed , 2 at the front to raise the heaviest area of the car and 1 at the rear centrally mounted .
like so many things that people see on racecars , they look like a great idea but are totally impractical to use on a roadcar .
As for twin extension jacks , the jacks dont double extend , we use an alloy support with a sliding gate (called an elephants foot ,lol), you jack the car up 1st level ,slide in the foot , drop the car, slide the gate over and then re-extend the jacks to raise the car again .



ps , your mate bolaji , get him to call me , ive not seen him or the car for a few years

Mate I'm really sorry, I thought I worded it pretty decent and clear, but apparently not. What I meant was looked shagged, as in physical appearence, hence why I mentioned about if look's didn't mean much to him then buy some of your used set's.

I have full confidence in you that all your product's are listed as accuratly as possible, and I've definitely no doubt about you as you're a genuine guy from what I've read.

Sorry for upsetting you.

A bit harsh there mate

I have bought parts form Tony at Touring car spares and everything was better than described , and a very very nice bloke to deal with who also gives very very good FREE advice ,

Its hard to sell used goods and make them look like new , but as long as they work correctly thats all you can ask for ,,if you want stuff to look new then buy new

Dont panic , im too sensitive about these things really !

it does show that words on a public forum have wide ranging implications tho .

Back in your box Paul , lol .Thanks mate .
