Minirotty

Looks nice that man! Get it bought lol

Carlos-Titx

Not long got rid of the jeep. I was tempted to buy it but had to be sensible.
Damn kids.

Minirotty

I fancied a change so I stuck the fish tanks back on...









Not 100% on my choice yet lol but I've also tinted them now, and still not 100% lol

Looks awesome as always mate

Carlos-Titx

Does look proper smart like.

Minirotty

Thanks lads, I am feeling the fish tank head lights atm so they'll be staying on a while as they feel very retro man

Carlos-Titx

How much did you lower it?
Guessing aftermarket parts are rare for these.

Minirotty

next to impossible to get aftermarket parts so have to make do lol

two coils from front nd one from rear, people gasp when I tell them but the coils on the Jag are equal width front top to bottom and dont pig tail so removing a coil doesn't make a difference to the shape nor to the seating of the springs, the front spring is nearly 2ft long standard as well and the rear over a foot too.

slammedorion

Best way to lower a car... I've never had a problem cutting springs

Minirotty

Yeh man lol I've trimmed the rear arches a little ans need to take some more off but thats only because the rears are 10" wide!

slammedorion

Grinding is great stress relief
Amazing how much pleasure a Ł2 quid grinding disc can bring...
Gotta respect a good slamming.

Minirotty

haha yeah man defo and Im looking forwardto chopping some more off

it also upsets the Jag purists lol

slammedorion

Upsets everyone... I've never lost a spring
Ride maybe harsh if you go really low but it's good fun

I've got coilovers on the Orion but I find them noisy tbh
Much prefer a uprated spring/ shock combo with a modified spring

Minirotty

Yeh man I remember your mint red onion? That was chopped wasnt it? That was bad ass!

I had a maroon onion in the 90's, was chopped and when I went to fast round a xorner the rear spring would pop out, lads used to jump out and lift it up and pop it back in lol

Stranger than that, my mate crashed it, a few month later I got a black one.

We used to go beach and scratch names in boot if cars... went to beach in black one, went to put bames in boot... only to find our names already thrre lol we started to pull roof lining only to find it was a cut and shut and the rear was my old maroon one

Minirotty

All done! Grinding therapy haha

slammedorion

Nicely done

Minirotty

Mate it was weird coming home from after sorting it and not hearing any scrubbing, not hearing it felt wrong

Minirotty

Jag had an wvening out for fish and chips with a couolenof friends in there classics and even with a good leathering doen the M42 she didn't scrub once!!!

Loving her again!

But lol after a play on way home fuel ran low! So pulled into services to top up and only put )20 v-power diesel in her! Never done it wrong before... phones a mate to come and syphen it out and I out Ł30 petrol in, she smoked a bit at first then pinked half way home lol should be ok after next tank of fuel.

Felt a right twat lol

Nightmare matey. So far(touch wood) ive never missed fuel a vehicle yet. A pump attendant at the local shell garage did though. He asked me what fuel i wanted and i said V power. So he put 20 quids worth of diesel v power in. I topped it up with 30 quid of petrol and the cossie was smoking back fireing the lot lol.

Just like usual then ha ha only joking. I emailed shell and got all my money back for the fuel.

Cool mini. I take it its had a roof chop??

gcfcos

I did it in my e36 diesel, ÂŁ40 worth of petrol lol. Phoned my mate And he towed me home and for helping me we transferred to the fuel to his car, that smoked a little bit but he was happy with free fuel. To be fair at the time I had 3 petrol cars, 2 motorbikes and a diesel car so easy mistake to make lol. I wonder how long before I put petrol in the rac van, now that would be embarrassing!!!!!!!!!

Minirotty

I'm glad it isn't just me then lol

I've put another Ł30 of V-Power in yesterday and she still pinking on load so I may have to shove some octain boost in to help sort it.

Coming on real well...I agree with the comments on the twin lights over the big singles...something about the twins that flow better with the lines of the car IMO

How bad were the arches scraping? Are you able to space the rears outs and maybe the front 5-10mm?

Minirotty

I love the twins, will not get rid but I'm in love with fish tanks atm they look awesome in person.

The arches have no space left for spacing with how low it is, the wheels tuck in a lot front and rear now.

Rear scrapped a lot and nothing at all now, spacing unneccessary.

Also rears are 10's and fronts are 9's so I was asking for trouble bolting such wide rims on lol

But I love her, winter wheels to sort now, have the XJR 17's I need to get painted up ready to fit.

Then mayne one day get you to sort stereo out lol

rooos

she's awesome as always man!
i love her even with the fishtanks on.
i think it's a good thing having the possibility to change the look once in a while.

keep us posted

Minirotty

Thanks mate, yeh I've kept the quads so can aleays put um back in when I fancy.

Wife washed um today haha!

Minirotty
