Haven't posted for a while, so I thought I'd stick my car up as I think there are some other f-body owners on here.

I bought it about 4 months ago, it's a 5L TPI with WS6.

It's that low to the ground that every speed-bump or dip in the road has to be negotiated. I'm hoping the police never get a chance to look at the thing too closely, because not everything was converted to australian compliance. It's still LHD, which is legal here, but other things like the orange drive lights and seatbelts should have been converted.

There aren't many of these down here really. There's a fair number of corvettes, and a few Camaro's, but not many Firebirds/Trans Am's.

Actually, there is a small lever behind the main wipers/indicators/CC/hi-beam stalk that I can't seem to figure out what it does? If anyone knows, it'd be appreciated.

Odds are... if you open your glovebox... there's probably a owner's manual in there that'll explain that right up for you.

on my pontiac, that's what lets you raise and lower the steering wheel

That's what it sounds like to me.

I never got the point of getting a car so low that you constantly have to be careful what you drive over.

Most people go slow over speedbumps to avoid doing anything to their suspension anyway.
nope.

I speed up for them. That's why they're called speed bumps.

It opens my garage door. Will you leave it the hell alone, please?








Actually, I'm guessing it's the steering wheel adjustment stick. Move the lever, and I bet the steering wheel will move up and down.

That reminds me of the Nationwide insurance commercial where the guy is trying to find out what the light switch does.

Cos far too many people think dumped cars look the ****.

Actually lower suspension is usually stiffer suspension which coupled with a lower centre of gravity should improve the cornering characteristics of the car, but I think most people do it for the looks thing.

Car doesn't have a glovebox and I don't have a manual :/

It doesn't seem to adjust the steering wheel, pushed it forward and wiggled the wheel around but no luck.

The ride height is a bit annoying at times, but between the sway-bars, springs and CoG it corners like it's on rails. I'm pretty sure it came from the factory at this height due to the WS6 suspension.

That's not a dump-truck, this is a dump-truck:

I almost thought this thread was going to be about you being a transvestite.

Did you just quote yourself quoting someone else replying to a quote of another reply?
