Its good to see another squarebody fan in Germany!
We should meet sometimes! Do you have TÜV for the rims and tires?

Re: Liftkit is in

Thank you all.

@moneyeater
no, not yet
think that will be impossible. no technicle data and no papers. will try to connect Weld Racing in the US and get something to give it to the "tüv". tires seems to be no problem. many friends with 35/12.50R15 and their tires are legal.
current i´ve listed 265/75R16 in the papers. we will see...

next weekend i´ve to renew the exhaust. sounds terrible...

Re: Liftkit is in

Looks really good. I've been thinking about running those tires. Let me know how you like them.

Hello slick17,

i´m very hooked. Have heard that they are very loud, but i can´t confirm this. on wet ground you must be careful. offroad they are brilliant.
time will show how solid they are. Very soft tire.

Hope this will help you.

Greetings Chris

Re: Liftkit is in

It is 2 1/2 inch dual with the cheapest mufflers i could get!
I spent about 120 Euros excepting the headers wich are jet hot coated Dynomax longtubes!

Hello,
i´ve got long headers, too. they are also ceramic coated. I think that I need about 300 Euros for my exhaustsystem. will try to get some Flowmaster Super 44 mufflers. Maybe I built a 2-1-2 system with only one muffler. At the moment I have some problems with my gearbox again. Tomorrow i will look at this first.

bye

Chris
