I’m confused. I have a coil over slammed 2012.5 clubby on SV 20’s A 2014 SS slammed on coil over with 20’s No rolling with no rubbing. Have never rolled guards on a ve or vf. Unless these people are going 22’s you do not need to roll guards
Great vid. The blue tongues are lovely to have around. Keep the joint clean and will eat baby snakes. Issue is the adult snakes will eat them but they are good at avoiding em. Also means the area is healthy where you are.
Thanks mate, appreciate the comment, guard rolling is anywhere from $150-550 but on average usually around $250-350 ( to do properly that is, i dont rush cars out the door like other shops )
@@RCSMediaDivision if it was cheap then yeah i can see it being worth it!! but ive driven a few LS cars and my mantic twin plates in my xr6 ute and they are just to good and easy to drive! But also with the lunch control and 20/275s on the rear i can set it to 3000rpm and 4psi launch or 5000rpm and as much boost as its will build (around 10-14 depending on summer or winter) and drop the clutch in 2nd to smoke out the street and the clutch will NEVER be my issue.. Now the cars been of the road again for a few months its going to see 15s on a 275/295 street radial with a 4 port mac valve and no tune for it this summer :(
@@mifo2000 Thats good info to have mate, i would of thought the drivability would be different for sure. they do say for most people its best to keep the clutch as the weak point in the driveline. first thing to go to save destroying other things.
the twin plates are to good. not like the hilux where u can take off in 3rd but very easy to dive, sit in traffic on the monash fwy for hours trying to get back to the west side after an accident in the tunnel
@@mifo2000 Yer right, so really much of the same really as single. i guess its really the button clutches and what not that get hard? i remember one of my cars was on or off and was stiff as. in a VN Aero. was good for skids but nothing other then that really haha
@@RCSMediaDivision Yeah for sure, I didn't mind the tunes, just didn't fit my head space right now ha ha. Have only had 1 day off in two weeks & am working at least the next 7 days straight. Thats when my head needs Metal or Rock ha ha! I run a business too. Free time is a premium! at least I got to tinker with my VL a bit tonight. Cheers!
@@brushitoff503 Yer i hear you mate, it never ends. the worse iv done is around 4 months with no days off. that was a lot. i was a big grumpy bum then haha. iv learnt now that i atleast need a morning off and a night off once a week to keep ontop of my mental health.
Thanks Remi, you did an awesome job on my car. Clutch is fantastic and as always you get that one bolt that snaps lol. I have ordered sump gasket and some other bits and pieces I will msg ya during the week, But love the video great work. And to everyone watching seriously if you have any work you need to get done, Remi is that bloke you want working on your car.
Really appreciate that comment mate, means a lot to me. if you have time chuck me a google review ( remis chop shop ) that would be VERY VERY appreciated. Look forward to working on it again soon =)
I just fitted EL xr falcon shark fin mags to my mazda 3 they were way too wide but I rolled the guards out to the max and then I worked my magic car corners way better and looks trick I’ll have to do a video of the finished car soon I’ve pushed the quarters and guards a lot further than you have here and I wasn’t worried about damaging the paint as I’m a panel by trade easy job
Yer id go a little lower in the rear atleast. have it more like my lux... but he uses this for gardening jobs so loads the back up a fair bit. would have to go airbags like me otherwise.
I had another car the other day, i pulled the inner guard liner and a bucket worth of dirt fell off onto the ground. Only issue with working on 4x4s they are typically dirty underneath and i try run a clean shop so it annoys me haha
Hey Mate, You have a few options. You can cut off the factory mount and weld on a bolt so its very similar to a ute diff, you can just swap out to a ute diff if its easier for you too ( i have done this before) but if your keeping the factory setup you will need to do something. if you get a coilover shock or similar they have a swivel eyelet mount at the bottom. This car already had those in it so it had enough movement to allow for the relocation.
Hey Mate, I was working on this Saturday at my shop. it went out the door sat night. i was at the shop Sunday arvo ( slept in sun morning as worked 20 hours at the shop sat ) but was working on a Discovery 4 in the arvo. i think one of my neighbors has a ZR2 maybe you seen that
Went and ordered some monroe shocks, forgot the listing I went back to was for lowered shocks. I got std springs so I've been tossing it up. Any quirks with shock travel or in general to worry about? Anyways awesome video mate! Only just caught on so I still got a few other videos to get through yet!
Appreciate the comment mate, So youll be running lowered shocks with standard springs? the only issue you will run into will be the shock with bottom out but upwards. so it might drive a bit rough. your best to get STD shocks to pair with your STD springs if up can swap them?
@RCSMediaDivision well that's just it, now that I got the set, and it was a pretty good deal, I was thinking of going lowered springs then. Was just tossing up other options and was wondering if I went rear bags if there was going to be some travel issue? Sorry for being long winded 😅.
@@rapidraposa7327 na your right mate, happy to chat. if you do bags you want lowered shocks for sure so thats a good thing to have. we run a coilover shock when we do bag kits so we can set the height to how you will drive the car. but lowered shocks would be good to have. i guess the issue is if you lower the rear youd have to then lower the front too.
Yes I’ve bought last week and had delivered a midrise tufflift. MR35. I think The crew in there is excellent and they don’t call it tufflift for no reason I’ve had another brand of scissor lift before and they are built light compared to tufflift. Tufflift really is super strong - they just work simple as that
