Have ya had a ride of it yet?
I haven't touched my one basically since I got it
I think I have become a responsible adult,ten years ago I would have been fanging it around the streets with no helmet,now I am too worried about getting flogged by the cops :(

Haha Yeah I only just test-fitted it in the T2 today. I dont plan on riding it...got a bunch of younger Honda Club fans that can do all that. One day my daughter can fang it..she's only 2 currently tho. I'm slowly getting in touch with the Japanese City club guys, talking to one who's English is good via Facebook. Their 2015 meet is coming up.

My suspension is custom made using k-sport coilovers.it was made from parts from various cars along with modifying almost every aspect to get it to work.

Yeah & dont forget the time & expense of the hours on a Lathe fabricating a piece of steel bar to adapt the shock housing in, the rears are a real killer but fronts are straight forward so maybe just change the fronts to adjustables & use the Zoom springs for the rear as they go more than low enough & will save you the headache or money depending on if you do it yourself or not.

There's abit about lowering a T2 here : http://nzhondas.com/build-threads/10114 ... -a-24.html

He talks about getting 50mm + drop. I did get in touch with the guy ages ago asking how he did it, this was his reply :

' I used EB Civic front shocks, with EB lowering springs and a keeper coil! '

have you tried heat? a heatgun and hammer can work wonders. oh and piss-loads of crc or equivalent.

is it the bolts or is it seized on?
