What have you done to your Elgrand today?

[LeStempy]

Don't go any more than 15mm.

Don't go any more than 15mm.

Before I go any further, if I fit a 10 to 15mm spacer, will the bolts have enough thread to latch still or did you use new bolts?

Oh and appreciate all the advice guys

 

[LeStempy]

You will need new bolts.

Today I popped up to Tojo Motors and bought the panel that fits above the heater controls. The toggle had gone iffy and Steve at Tojo provided me with another panel, which I fitted in the car park (works a treat). I can't recommend Tojo highly enough and Steve is a top bloke.

Steve did my front cats, swirl flaps, pcv valve a while back. Genuine guy and knew his stuff.

Busy cleaning and prepping for the next modification..

My main concern is if they're actually longer, otherwise I've pissed 60 quid away

They came with these ball endings, hopefully they're the longer variant required.

Yeah it's not made a massive difference though, I don't know what I was expecting, just a lot more than what I got. Cheers for the pictures, at least I can be confident I ended up with the correct parts.

3d printing some 13mm spacers now for the top brackets as per master @Stempyuno advice. Hopefully these will get me up to where I need it.

Today, on a particularly quiet stretch of motorway, I finally proved that my Bravery Corporation ECU doesn't have a speed limiter as the needle went round as far as it would go! Which also proves my point about white ones being fastest. Felt completely stable with the new suspension so didn't chicken out.

I can't quite believe you've openly posted this on the forum

 

[LeStempy]

My speedo only goes up to 70, it's blank after that.

Printed at a 0.60mm layer height, fattttt.

Should last through winter with PLA, but will reprint in petg before summer. Now to find bolts, test fit and pray it gives me the height I need.

Today I drove my Elgrand to the local brewery where I purchased some seasonal cask ale laced with spiced rum. On the way I was nearly wiped out by a 97 year old granny in a Daewoo Matiz who was under the impression that her indicators also activated an invisible force field allowing her to cut across two lanes of traffic without looking to see if there were any other vehicles in said lanes. How are these people still allowed on the road?

She will have been colour blind and under the impression she could take you mate "short days blur things a little"

She was obviously deaf too as she totally ignored a blast of the air horns to raise awareness of my presence..
