March 3, 200521 yr :lol: ..sorry i never have a reason to post here, so what the heck. its just for S&G's
March 3, 200521 yr WOW with clearance like that you could really show up the guys with the lift kits. I bet you wouldn't even hit on smooth gravel roads... I hope Zap and Qman see this....I wouldn't want you scaring them on the trail.... :lol: Seriously though...darn that low...if I ever make it out that way give me a ride... Matt
March 3, 200521 yr Out of curiousity, how does your car handle? My car handles like a turd on wheels.
March 3, 200521 yr Out of curiousity, how does your car handle? My car handles like a turd on wheels. Brads car is a polished turd on wheels EDIT: Damn Brad, that is low.. Mine measured out at 6.5 under the rear diff.
March 3, 200521 yr eh, my rotory RX's diff looks lower and I really can't get under the car with a tape measue to measue, but I'll try
March 3, 200521 yr Are that inches? One inch is 2,54cm, so it has ~ 10 cm ground clearance. In austria, a car must have 8cm to get a license. L
March 3, 200521 yr heeeeyyyy my Brat had about that on the rear diff clearance....:D:D It didn't even have any expensive coilovers in it or nothing... like literally NOTHING:D
March 3, 200521 yr Are that inches? One inch is 2,54cm, so it has ~ 10 cm ground clearance. In austria, a car must have 8cm to get a license. L In pennsylvania, you have to be able to rull a pop can under the car, without it hitting anywhere.
March 4, 200521 yr At least they dont say "Coke" Ack.. everything is a Coke here.. except for the few that call it a soda.. I say Pop and everyone looks at me like I'm from another planet.
March 6, 200521 yr Although it doesn't amount to a hill of beans or aluminum cans I have been getting vehicles inspected in PA for 35 years, I have never heard of this "rule". But it doesn't surprise me, as we also have a complicated to some trigonometry formula for the length a mud flap must be. BTW an al U min E Um can is just shy of 5 in (4.875) or 12.4 cm
March 6, 200521 yr The reason you never heard of this Skip is because it DOES NOT EXIST. The know-it-all a few posts above is misinformed about suspensions and urban folklore... inspection code 175.80 sub part 8 paragraph (iii) states that the bumpers (main part of them) must be 16-20 inches above the road. It states nothing aobut ride height whatsoever peroid. As for mud flaps... 22.5 degrees measured from the road surface.. 175.78 section (i) If people want to start quoting PA inspection laws...get a book first and then get an inspection license... like I did. Why the heck are we talking about PA laws for a car that is on the otherside of the US.... Dude your car is low (and cool I might add) just don't bring it to PA...the cops won't get you but the potholes might eat you alive.... Matt
March 6, 200521 yr Thanks for clearing that up Matt. I suspected so but did not have the facts as you obviously do. Concerning the regulation for mud flaps you quote. I believe the illustration I saw in the regulation update showed the angle as measured from the rear tire One leg of the angle being the road surface. The other leg of the angle being a line drawn from the tire contact point on the ground to the bottom of the flap. The inspection station must have a fairly large protractor or use the trig e.g. Measure the distance on the road surface from the tire to a point directly below the mudflap (D) The distance from the road surface to the mudflap (H) to be legal is given by H = D Tan(22.5 degrees) = D x 0.41 Is this correct?.
March 7, 200521 yr He he, my lifted brat has 12 inches with the big tires on it.... not sure with the hakki's
March 7, 200521 yr ummmm 16-20 inches for the bumpers??? which part of the bumpre cause legacy's have less than that from the bottom of the bumper unless it has been raised that is lol
March 7, 200521 yr Yawn..... Thats a stock Datsun 280Z 2+2 parked in front of my car... Why does angelfire suck so bad? Nevermind, I cannot make it work..
