Hey guys,
Beefa got his hydrolastic suspension pumped up today thanks to skssgn (Simon). Its like he's a whole new car :D
The scary thing was when we evacuated the system, a little bit came out of the left side, but noting came out of the right side :shock:
Driving him home tonight, it was like a new car, didnt feel the bumps (well as bad!) and he was easier to get out of.
Thanks heaps Simon!
:twisted: :twisted:

Cool! 8) Well done!!

I must say I am not a fan of hydrospastic :x I had no experience with it untill I got pops, and it has not impressed me a whole lot since having it.

One example is hardly anything to go by Anton! Esp since it isn't the hydro that's at fault but the trailing arm that is stuck! :lol:

I'm pretty sure he hasn't, pops is pretty bog stock..probably stock shocks from the showroom floor!

don't let the doc hear me say this..but hydro ain't all bad :shock: I wouldn't mind it..
