my VY11 SS Crewy

[maginoodle]

Hi, this is my crewy. Its a daily driver.

Its mostly stock. The only mods are
Cat back zorst. Phreddied dash and Tuff tonneaus hard lid.

Plans for the future include
Lowering- rear first probably 2 inches, should cost no more than $100. then then the front.
Wheels- i need some crome. staying with 17's to keep the ride nice.


Ps- yeah i know i probably should have washed it. But there is a drought on.

pics didnt work will try to post them again

[maginoodle]

Hi i will try this. I did a search todat to find out why i couldnt upload and discovered photobucket so i will try this.








Hope it works.
Cheers Shane

"nice car.. i am looking to purchase one, are they are good car to drive"- lovely to drive. its a 4 speed auto i just sit the cruise on the limit and sit back relax. i get 9-100 on the highway.
no plans for a charger but never say never.

when i looked into buying a crewy i remember reading that when u lower them u need to be careful that the axle doesnt come into contact with the fuel tank. i saw on a web site that someone installed a custom fuel tank just to have it lowered.? it kinda put me off them but i have seen a few lowered since then. Have u or anyone heard about this problem?

[nicko]

just had a dig then;

QUOTE CAPA WEBSITE;

Crewman Fuel Tank, Now Available 22nd April, 2004
Have you ever wanted to lower your Crewman, Cross8 or Adventra? Be aware that lowering the rear axle will bring the tailshaft in contact with the fuel tank, being plastic it doesn't take long to wear through. Our new aluminium fuel tank sits higher off the ground than the factory unit, allowing you to lower your car by more than 3 inches.

Recommended Retail is $1085.00 inc. GST.

thanks for that m5vt2. Hadnt heard of that prob before, but i had better look into it before i do it. I have 3 sets of blocks for the rear to choose from, 1 1/2, 2 and 3 inch.

ive just started to do my crewman up full exhaust air intake and maf tune made 209 rwkw, now trying to find out what else i can get done to make her a bit quicker with out spending to much, u can lower ure crewman as i did i lowered it 2 inches in the rear sits alot better now pretty much even with the front u cant go any more then 2 inches though as it hits on the tail shaft sumthing along those lines anyways

Love ya work m8.

It's quite true about lowering of a Crewman however you can get them alot lower than is being suggested, I had mine lowered all around by Pedders and am only running 17's currently so when I put the 19" on will come down further.
Link to my car, look towards the end of the post Black vz ss crewman
