Good luck on the tyres ,but the body lift as far as l'm aware all you need to do is fill in a form at Transport dept and pay 60 bucks or something like that unless it's changed because when we were fitting them we were sending the customer to DT and had no knockbacks!!!2in only though !!

What i am saying is that the effect of static balancing is the same as holding a pushbike wheel while it's spinning.(NJ is correct in what he is saying about the gyroscope effect) You could also get a similar effect with dynamic if not performed correctly there is a reason wheel weights are on ...

wheel balance
Ryano what are on a static balance is for straight line a dynamic balance is what you want if you don't want the steering wheel to shake out of your hands when you try to go around corners,remember the old pushy wheel when you hold it by the axle and spin it it's nice and smooth when you hold ...

Dude if you cant undo a shock in 2 minutes and measure a bush (allowing for the case that you might not have arms)you should pay someone to do the job for you as it's not safe for you to do!!!!

tyre deflation
What works on 1 vehicle may not work on another you wil have to use the trial & error system using others input as a guide, usually between 18 to 25 psi is enough but there may be times when less is better but you do risk tyre damage and leaking beads.As for tubes if you have tubless rims get the ...

Remember an engine is basically an air pump,so what comes in must go out as efficiently as possible.Most motors are set with longevity in mind rather than power and with some extra tuning can gain large increases of horsepower.The old 20l Escort/Cortina was one that comes to mind as the inlet valve ...
