Looks like it was fun... next time I'm hoping I will have money and a lift kit in Jetcar.

how was the reception from here?

image was 4000 pixels x 3800 pixels (plus) or 34 x 20 somthing inches so I removed it

Rear left?? That's the one I killed, and I reckon it was due to a dud shock in the strut assembly.

I'm going to be looking at making a new strut that's stronger, just need some money for materials, a welder and some time

Jules - THAT'S ONE FRIGGIN' BIG IMAGE MATE!!!

ive heard of pipe clamps being used to improve the strength of the shock base.

is this civic spring conversion really worth the hassle and lack of trust?

didn't you see the Red Toyota surf that was parked next to the camping site just before i left that had the front all smashed and a hanging door from a roll i assume?

cheers all, that was great.

i am definitely not going with the EA again, the stupid thing only just made it home, kept missing under load

was fine driving it the next day again though

however, i do have the solution...

i ended up with a little black hand shovel thing, who does that belong to??

Robbie

That'll be Guy's, I borrowed it & it went walkabout a bit later, I figured he picked it up.

you need a program like photoshop (expensive or "free" ) or a GNU free one like Gimp

In photoshop it is a simple as going to the image tab, selecting image size, then resizing the image.

Ive not used gimp since it was 1.4. it is now 2.6 and quite a bit has changed but if you played around a bit, you could work it out.

or watch this

I use the classic view of Imageshack, and when uploading I either use "multiple image upload" or the Imageshack upload program (free download). On both of these functions there's a tab to resize the image to 800x800 or for a 12 inch monitor.

Works a treat for me. And if you can change your image file size to ~900kb it will help it upload quicker than a 3mg file

Alex, I reckon the honda springs in the rear are worth it, what's happening is that we're now weeding out the bugs, or the old dodgy parts. Mine's been fine after I changed the shock - it then went on to take more of a pounding in the next 3 days after than the old shock got in Robe...
