Czerial had his mini moved months back... they pushed in both back and front panels... four nice dents around the car...

What you do is let all the hydro fluid out of the hydro system if you have it so there is no room to fit fingers under the wheel arch... :wink: works for me.

This is my worst fear - especially after having Sportspack arches fitted....

If anybody does it to my cars, I will stab them. No excuses.

You use a hydro pump... home made or otherwise. 8)
:idea: Put a pump onboard, plumbed in like the rally cars had...

Retro fit an A/C compressor as a compressed air supply. Plumb it in and wire up some elect/pnuematic solinoids. In cab height control 8)

Even cooler, set it up with an ECU that lowers the car as speed increases :D

Sorry, won't work- you won't get 300psi needed, out of that. Hydro bags are not like a normal air bag- more like a rubber cone with a bladder inside it. :wink:

h0nk: Im no lawyer but considering the litigation laws these days you never know. For instance if someone breaks and enters your house then hurts himself inside (ie trips over a rug or something equally stupid) you can actually be up for damages - quite completely ridiculous but thats the way it goes - so maybe if you put razor wire on your car you may be placing an undisclosed hazard to the public.. or the jocks at your school :)


yeh I knew about that law, wasn't sure if it was only for property though.
