ive got a little annoyed at some of the comments on this thread regarded the top mounts not sure why lol surely if olly runs his top mounts upside down then its up to him! surely people can see from what hes done with his nova that he fully understands how things work and is fully aware his top mounts arent of the usual orientation! and the risks involved in running them as they are, the top mounts still function, surely that circlip if it were going to 'snap' bend etc
would have done so by now, just my opinion:thumb:
i think this is pretty imformative thread as i can see hes trying/doing something people say cant be done!
which is run his car very low (lower c.o.g) and keeping the geometry pretty much as he had it before it was lowered 3" and still get it to handle and be able to run slicks and big sidewalled tyres (reason imho why so much modifying/ re engineering is involved clearance)
nearly there olly 90 % of the work is done
CorsaKid-Yes, my reply was a joke ;) lol lol
Nail head job done and well put!Quote:

count just my opinion :thumb:
It might be just your opinion but IMO you are spot on were as others are further from the mark....
Glad you got the pad dude, didnt send any paper as you said you had some, you've been buzy again, but have done perfect what i was talking about to move the coilover away from the tyre. Good work.
i guess thats aimed at me, well, just as you have had your opinion, can i not have mine?:wtf:Quote:

my point is, why take the risk when there is no need to?
anyways, olly has made his opinion clear, and i did say that its up to him as its his car, and if he's happy with them like that then thats cool
maybe, just maybe, you should stop thinking i'm attacking olly and springing to his defence needlessly, its a discussion on a forum, thats all...:thumb:
anyways, sorry to put that sort of thing in your thread olly, good luck with your mods, although for all the work involved i think i would have just lowered the engine in the car and gained a lower c.o.g that way:thumb:
If I can borrow James' uber-awesome Snap-On file so I can do a dead neat job, then I might open out that little bit more to take the knuckle pointing upwards.
As we've established, I no longer use my topmounts for castor adjustment now, so there isn't a need to get full rotation on them anymore.
Actually, turning them the other way up, will lower the car by the height of the knuckle as it'd now be protruding into the bay, rather than below the turret.
Ever since Span' mentioned lowering the engine, it kinda got me thinking about it, but then I think i'd struggle with the manifold on the floor lol
Course you can borrow it! So when are we lowering the engine then?
