hey guys... hehehe
went into a driveway today, steep bastard, anyway on the way in heard a loud BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!, maybe the exhust hitting or fuel tank harness
on the way out of the drive through i got stuck..... one of the rear tyres got lifted off the ground and my good old single spinner diff wouldnt give power to the other wheel...
i was stuck there for 15 mins before i got some people to help lift the rear end of my car off the ground enough so the wheel could touch the ground...now thats the height of embarrasing
it was a killer of a drive way, it was like

ROFL!(Wets Pants)
Man, remember if you're cars lowered, choose your driveways carefully....Im sure you don't want that to hapen again. Hahahaha. Ive noticed that on my car (not lowered...yet...) that the zorst neer the cat is low, maybe thats where you hit?
dude.... i went into this drive way sideways, one wheel at a time, actually ran into the hedge ont he way out trying to get more of a angle, didnt help
nothing i could have done to get out without this happening.. lol
then again my car is around 60mm-70mm from the exhust to the ground![]()
Maybe try parking on the street next time? lol.
stuff like that used to happen all the time in my vp, luckily i had a towbar fitting (no actual tow bar) and it used to cop all the damamge and not other important things.
you still have to think twice about how your going to tackle certain situations, id stay away from that driveway if i were you, lol.
I used to have the same problem before I got my kit when I had my old springs in. I got grounded in a driveway as well and had to get mates to lift the back of the car while i tried to reverse out...
It used to be a bitch. I got sick of scraping my tow bar an having to get my exhaust re-tightened.
Its not worth the hassle imo, get higher springs before you ruin your kit.
my colectors on my exaust sit about 50mm of the ground with super lows i cant even take on your average speed hump let alone an angled drive way.
i was parking it on the nature strip near work 1 day after i got my exaust done and got stuck had to get the truck jack and drag it off.not cool i was pissed.

LOL funny stuff aye, if i were to continue modifying my car id throw air bags in
my vh did the same thing n the side of mine is 200mm off the ground the exhaust is bout 50m/60m but the towbar bracket and the bottom of my zaust tip caught i was stuck so i had to hoof it a bit coz i was reversing out onto a main rd then dropped it did a u turn and i went bout 2cm into the bitumen. wasnt happy but luckely it was only the towbar bracket if i go over a speed bump to fast it bottoms out on the diff and if i have one other person in it sometimes it bottoms out on the diff
i also riped the dump pipe rubbers of my hz

i got a heaps steep drive way, so i lowered my car to the driveway. so with a big load and i full tank it just touches if i go straight in or i just clear if im on an angle.![]()
mmmmm. . . there's something classy about bottoming out on things . . . I don't care how many places I won't be able to go, I'm getting Whiteline's 'The Works' super-low pack
It'll be awesome
Hmm, I hope mine is ok.... I got some front superlows and shortened shocks on the way, and now i need to buy rears and adj panhard rod. How hard is it putting the fronts? Will i need a spring compressor?
you sure will need a spring compressor, and maybe a rattle gunOriginally Posted by Mack
How To: Change Springs/Shock
all you need to know
front springs are a pain in the ass
lol dude, that's bad but also funny, you're lower then low and thats awesome!
I thought the rears were the pain in the ass...dammit.
LOL Rears are easyyyy to change, i used 2 jacks, one to jack the car up and another to raise /drop the diff when ever i wanted... its a matter of undo 1 bolt on the shocker each sdie and let the diff drop then rip the old springs out and then bung in the new one and raise the diff and bot it back up. took me 15 mins if that to drop the rear from supers to ultra's paid $95 for the ultra's and sold the supers for $70
i know its bad hahaha imagine me sitting there going **** **** **** **** **** i just sprayed this shit !!!!
That couldn't be as embarrassing as getting a none lowered car stuck with the rears in the air.
