QUOTE (2FAS74U @ Mar 3 2011, 08:35 PM)  "Sorry guys that didn't buy a work ute that was good enough for your standards. Least it's legal and drives without overheating ha" isnt a pod filter illegal? Troll?...If not, no it isn't illegal, he's in QLD only has to be secured (bracketed), in NSW has to be shielded (in a box). Now listen up, this is for you Turbo183. Most people wouldn't have had a problem with your work ute if you'd come on here and just acted like an enthusiast, not talked your car up for being hell powerful or acting like a fuckwit talking about skids and fully sick single leggers because you don't have an lsd. You started off ok, good post asking for tasteful mods and opinions, even agreed with others that AU's are pretty ugly. But as the thread went on and skid talk increased your reputation quickly dropped. All that was just so you know why you copped hate. You want serious opinions act seriously, even better jump on a dedicated forum, lurk around and read (don't post because based on these post you'll be banned very quickly) Now if your serious about lowering your ute (at the back) go for some aftermarket heavy duty leaf springs. They will stiffen the ride up at the back and lower the car at the same time. Then if you want to go lower you can use a lowering block, but 2.5" is a huge lowering block. I'd get the leafs then see where it sits/how much lower you want and put a lowering block in accordingly. Want it to handle a little better upgrade the shocks, that will be one of the biggest components that decreases body roll.  3rd March 2011 - 03:04 AM

QUOTE (2FAS74U @ Mar 3 2011, 09:43 PM) thats why i thought it was illegal, im from the shit state of NSW... apoligies Ah ok. I only asked because so many people ask the god damn pod question, I thought you may have been trolling, no worries, all good mate.

I'll use my ute as an example and compare the 2 sets of leafs for mine. The stock leaf springs had 7 'leafs' in which 5 were always used and the other 2 came into play as the load in the tub increased. Hence the bounciness of it stock as the other 2 were only used when the back had something in it. The heavy duty ones I put in mine (aftermarket obviously) had 7 'leafs' that were always used/bearing the load, they were also wider and thicker, this would be due to all 7 being used (and flatter to make it lower) the width and thickness was to account for weight to ensure they don't drop to much, which they don't. QUOTE (Joey92 @ Mar 3 2011, 10:45 PM) This, isnt flat 6 subaru style? Ugliest falcon ever made... To my knowledge the flat boxer engine you're talking about on Subaru's is a 4 cylinder (the primary engine on rx/wrx/forester, one with the big thump...you get the point). Flat 6's are used a lot by Porsche, i'm not sure if any other companies/cars run a flat 6. 3rd March 2011 - 06:19 AM
