i admire u for wanting something different but what about
mot
How many hippos pass an MOT with
raised suspension, and the rear propshaft removed? Then tell me how removing the front driveshafts, and swapping springs is any different?
Yes, what of it? I fully declare all my mods. I doubt many others declare their removal of driveshafts, remaps, etc
passing an emissions test
it's an old diesel - as long as it doesn't smoke when the throttle is floored in neutral... it's a pass. It's not as delicate as a petrol for emissions
can't get my head round why u would wish to lower an off roader , doesn't make common sense , why not buy a suburu forester which is 4 wheel drive
1) it's a challenge
2) it's fun
3) the wife prefers the look of a freelander, over a Rover 75 :lol:
billions of research into the safety of there vehicles ..
at risk..
something goes wrong..
if u crash..
Again, bit hypocritical, thinking
slightly lowering a car, is going to make a car less safe than removing the plastic bumpers, fitting a massive steel winch bumper, shoving in massive fabricated spacers on top of the towers, "jungle wires" (or whatever they're called)... I could go on.
can't see it getting an mot or insurance
I raise the exact same point, again.
car engineers improve cars , not make them worse
Yes, I am. Just because it's not how
you would class it an improvement, doesn't make it not so.
Thank you, for your insight....
I've had PMs from other members who have been asking for information on this subject, but daren't ask openly due to the many shallow-minded individuals who are offended at the thought of someone who doesn't want to access their car via a rope ladder, and can't see beyond the known market.
PS: This was
fully declared, passed a few MOTs, and the local Police loved to chat with me when they saw me, as they knew I'd fully researched the law on everything I put on it.
Enjoy
