Nudawading ( Whitehorse Road ) Repco - opposite Bunnings.

They had a pile of them in the middle. $99 down from I think 170 or 190.

Big-ish blue one. Heavy bastard.

Can't remember the brand but i think it was labeled something like Hydraulic Garage Jack.

min height 140 ( still not low enough

) max was 5 hundred something mm I think ?

Rupewrecht · 15-12-2008, 10:15 AM

Ah, not low enough. Doh! Cheers tho.

Dogo · 15-12-2008, 10:26 AM

well then while you're there you could buy these

linky

or use 2 thick blocks of hardwood like i do.

Rupewrecht · 15-12-2008, 10:41 AM

Yeah, i usuallly just scissor jack up one side and then get the trolley jack underneath, but i really want one of these as it solves the problem completely...but it's $300 lol

Lowered height 70mm, raised height 290mm.

i brought a 110mm-220mm 1000kg jack from a part retailer for $19.95. only thin i could find lower than 130mm and under $250.

hehe i just drive up on a set of pavers and then i can get my jack under the car

my stepdad has a low profile one, it fits perfectly when car is on flat ground

lowest height is under 100mm i think?!?

I took the intake snorkle off my Yamaha powered monsta on Saturday. It was quite ghey (infact worse than stock) until yesterday afternoon and this morning, when it just burst into life! Getting headers and maybe CAI on Friday. The car needs lowering quite badly too.

chicaboo · 15-12-2008, 12:19 PM

Giggles! I wondered why the rear left is noticebly higher than the rest of the car.

hks_kansei · 15-12-2008, 12:26 PM

Dogo · 15-12-2008, 02:45 PM

Oh yeah, Dynamat's great stuff, but would've cost me five times as much for the same amount. Being a uni student, I can deal with mess for savings like that, considering it's on the inside of the door and not gonna be seen by anyone.

(Btw Dynamat Extreme is butyl based, it's better than tar because it won't melt in the long term).

Dogo · 15-12-2008, 05:14 PM

fair enough

yep, the Mondeo.

finally getting my Eibach Pro-Kit installed (i've had the springs since Feb)

according to the poms lowering Mondeos, it should be about a 50mm drop for my model.
Eibach say a 30mm drop.

but since mine is a late model Mondeo they had a 20mm higher stock height.

basically, I can expect that my tyre will be about level with the guard.
