The Carina Journey

Recommended Posts

Well I've made some more adjustments to the Carinas suspension, but can't lowered it much more until I roll the arches a little bit. I've taken about 1 1/2" out of the stock ride height, and the way the car drives now is !Removed! brilliantly. Here's a few photos I took on my phone, which kid of don't do the ride height justice.

..... Hmm.. Stainless??

Dunno if the price reflects having to replace 'ordinary steel' c/o every 3yr

Oddly KW were one of the company's that didn't even bother to reply to my interests in buying a set up.

Hi Paul,

I'm with Nick ( @saxo265 ) on this one.....I think you've been watching "Sin City Motors" and are doing the "Baseball bat between the tyre and the arch and roll the car forwards and backwards" technique to roll the arches.  I think that it will look great and just the look that you are going for.....Top marks for bravery, my friend as it scares the bejeezus out of me! 😮

Good luck, Paul, you're doing a great job and I have to say that I'm loving your videos and this is one of my favourite threads on the site.

Best of luck with all that you do and keep up the good work:clapping: 

All the best! :cheers:

I took my Carina out for a drive this morning, I ended up at Shell Bay in Dorset. It was really windy, but worth a walk around. My rear tyres are still touching a little bit over big bumps, and I still want to lower it a little lol.

Well I've been out of action for two weeks due to an inverted sprain on my right ankle, but today I was well enough to put together another video for you all.
