Rick i dont think Grom is exactly strapped for cash so a bit to pay tax would not really bother him.
Its more of a hobby to him, he pushes it further and further and its never finished. I would love the shell, if he was to ever break it i would pay top doller for it.
i remember reading it was lowered about 180mm, as he re fab'ed the inner rear arches etc! awsome car!

i'd say going off the pic's 100mm max
deffo well over 100mm. 60mm on 17's only just puts the alloy under the arch, in some pictures the alloy is well under the arch!
and it is possible as if you look at the pictures the inner arches are totaly re fab'ed and there is no exhaust to pass over the rear beam as its a side exit
going off this pic with 15's on - it's not that much lower than mine with with 80mm rear's, so i guess it is about 100 rear, and say 110-120 front, and it's nose dive's slightly

and mine with 80mm's on back

The fact is it can go low enough for the shell to touch the floor.Quote:

Understand ste that the above pic was when it was on 15's ~ the sils are currently clearing by the same amount, maybe less ON 17's. Think about it…
i see what you saying, i understand it could be lowered enough so it physically sit's on the floor, i was just going off how high it is in the pic's :)
That pic was taken when it "just" had a carb'ed xe in it & was on the road - think the idea from then on was to push it all as far as you can go.
No wonder the years rolled on :)
will it every be finished - that is the question..
would love to see it on a track day, it would be at home then
Taking the back lower than the above will reduce wheelbase by about 20MM just from the beam angle alone - The route Grom took to counter this was different to mine & we'll see how each holds up I guess :P
