doing this now and these ofset washers are being a right bitch on both sides. used plenty of wd40 and im diggin like mad. wot a bugger lol

[StonedAllDay23434]

Hi mate, im in the middle of lowering the rear of my 106 and im at the stage where i need to remove my torsion bars, im using the slide hammer method but the bars will not budge!!! I have used a whole can of WD40 on them, tried shocking them but nothing is working. I was just wondering if you could give me any help? I'll try anything at this point!! Lol

[rumble291]

@StonedAllDay23434, You need to remove the washer and screw a bolt into the other end (that your using a slide hammer on), then get a bar and sledge and give it some. Thats what alot of people say to do. I'm gonna try that on my VTR soon.

[OnlineScooterGuide]

Will definitely pass this on to all my friends

[101dirtjump]

will this work with the saxo vtr also?

[sb118]

Cracking video, but dear god man, get more light!

A lot of the "if you look in there..." just shows a dark void on the video.

[stu67456]

[PugMarshall2906]

@stu67456 they dont have rear springs lol

[antonyr123]

[306DTurbo1]

hi darren :). i have a problem with my Dturbo when i bought it it was lowerd 40mm at the front and ment to be the same at the back. i was getting it ready for mot today (had to replace rear axle mountings). now im home i looked at the car and noticed its lower at the drivers side rear so i got out the measuring tape :). both front wheels and passinger rear measured at 16 inches from the center of the wheels. the drivers side rear measured 15 inch do u think its been lowered wrong. cheers :)

[weeg91]

[weeg91]

hello mate again whats the purpose of pulling the roll bar out? (why do you do it? im not sure i want to cuz i want both side to be paralel? if you get me, thx again

[MrKoszalka]

Thanks dude for all your videos :) I have found them very useful and very technical. Also was just wondering if its possible to increase the fuel out put on a non turbo engine? its a 1.9 XUD diesel from a ZX I believe its the 70bhp one.

[jrdn92]

[areyouoffit]

[mccumiskey87]

@darrenjlobb hi mate i recently got someone to lower my 306 & sometimes i can hear like a clicking noise when i go over speed ramps ect why would that be ? its lowered the notch/nick methood its been lowered 2 nicks i had one lowered 2 nicks before & there was no clicking noise out of it ?. also i took of the wheels the other day to paint the drums & i noticed that the 2 metal plates either side of the anti-roll bar are not tight/flush to the metal theres a gap of a couple mil is that normal ?
