tandino 1 Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 She passed 8o) Bit of a laugh though as the entrance to the MOT bay was at the bottom of a slope with a slight hump going into the bay - couldnt get it in without removing the front spoiler ,Then the amusement really started on the lift - the lift jack (slides on rollers on the baseplate of the ramp) would'nt clear the sump of the VR - we had to move the lift jack to its most forward position to get the car on the ramp then slide it back along the underneath of the car whilst 4 of us pushed up against the front of the subframe to get the jack under the rear of the subframe to lift the car - quite amusing now but a pain in the arse at the time.When they checked the front brakes on the rollers the sump was 1/2" from bellying out I dont even think its that low - still loads of travel left of the FK's and i dont have any trouble with speed ramps - must be the 16"s & 195/45's that make it deceptive.Still got through so thats all that matters 8o) Pete.[ Edited ] Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Steve 0 Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 We have a similar problem with mine when we put it on the 4 poster where he works. Bear in mind, that mine is only dropped 30mm on standard 15's :-) Link to post Share on other sites
