    No, you can jack it up as high as it can go after removing the engine mount bolts, but it is a prick of a job. I have to do this to my partners VN. Not looking forward to it.

    feb 13th this year. i was up in echuca with a heap of mates for the southern 80. we were just going back to our campsite from echua after having breaky and looking at all the boats on display. was around 11am. we stopped on the murray valley freeway waiting for a car to turn right down one of the side rds. just as that car did. we were hit up the back by said woman at 100k's. she didn't even brake. car burst into flames on impact. all 5 of us got out of the via the front passenger door(was the only door that would open). i was sitting in the back passenger seat and that had collapsed down onto my leg with the force of my mate sitting there and broke my right femur clean in 2. everyone got out of the car with only to major injuries. me with my broken leg and my friend who got 3rd degree burns to her right hip and 2nd degree burns to her sholder and arm.

    according to the woman in the other car. we were driving to slow for her even though we were stopped waiting for a car infront of us.
