hi all
ihoping that some one out there can help
i want to raze up the rear end about 5 inches , so is there any way that this can be done . i have tryed to look around and find any thing to do this it was a lot easer in the 80 ( not into all the boy racer stuff of today go back to the 80s )
then i need to make a v shape joint for the exhaust before the fuel tank to have twin pipes both cerry boms will it be better to use a mrina exhaust and manifold as need a bigger bore .
any help will be grate or any indears on doing the car up like it used to be done in the 80s to make them noticed not like today thay need a big ice and big wheels and all the plastic around the bottom bring back the 80s

Hello MM16,
it's very easy to raise the rear by extending the rear spring shackles but the car will be very unstable. You will also need to extend the shock absorber linkage.
My advice is simple, don't do it. By the way what is the reference to frozen water?

Hello Andrew,

"It's COOL",

You could go the hydraulics route. Rayvern hydraulics could sort out the required parts to give you the heady ride height you need. Try Custom Chrome in Nuneaton Warks , they will build systems for you and also do universal exhaust parts off the shelf. I believe they do adjustable cherrybombs. i.e in noise levels no height.
