    2010 a crack torsion bar lowering unit was sent to prison by a military court for lowerng they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the RTOC underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire Spooky"n"James5

    I have.. I'll bring them along with me. How long do you think it will take? I have track time. Not bothered about being out there all day, but would like to do an hour or so.

    Cheers

    2hrs max with well and truly seized torsion bars...that includes removing the rear beam and pulling it all apart and re-bleeding the brakes if necessary

    Tools, axle stands at the ready as I am preparing to put my exhaust back on

    Re: Does anyone fancy lowering my 5 torsion bar at ND?

    Some advice for those with low 5's entering Mallory Park for RTOC National Day 2010.

    I have just spoken with a very lovely lady on the phone at Mallory Helen, definatly flirting with me anyway I phoned to ask about entrances to the site and if there is anyway of avoiding speed humps the answer is No. Helen advised they have 2 entrances to Mallory Park the main entrance and a competitors entrance. The main entrance that comes up under the arch has about 4 or 5 speed humps which are quite harsh (just ask spooky). The 2nd entrance (competitors entrance) to which is going to be the better option if your car is quite low as you will only have one speed hump to contend and is not as harsh as the main entrance humps.

    To get to the 2nd entrance instead of going up Church Road to the main entrance instead of turning left onto Chruch Road go straight ahead as if your going North go up Shilton Road across the cross roads onto Desford Lane, you will come to a small Y junction take 1st exit left onto Main street, keep going up main street then turn left onto Stapleton lane then about 100 yards on left will be the 2nd entrance into Mallory Park.

    Hope this is of some help to peeps

    Re: Does anyone fancy lowering my 5 torsion bar at ND?

    Thats a great help, because i scrape pebbels in the road with my side exit , and i know a few of us who are convoying down have some low fives so i think the second exit is the better option.

    Thanks Mat
