Sometimes a 2" lift isn't enough

[scot_c]

Title says it all. Man's got to know his vehicle's limits. And watch really! he's backing up.

Nah its enough just pick different line

Ooops!

 

[scalman]

1. Dig holes
2. Drive into them
3. Hang car on middle
4. Learn how to recover it

 

[Ratbag]

Oh, poop!

You're right, it's just harder to pick the line going backwards.

Fancy doing one for the SVX? I'd love to have an air/hydraulic lift system, it would need to stay up at speed though.
Do Citroën still do hydraulic height adjustment?

If you buy a set of HotBits coilovers with the same specs as mine, I can send you the drawings of my air lift system.

Citroën stopped making hydraulic height suspension in 2012. When on the position "high", the hyraulic suspension Citroëns are very harsch....

Time for a little road building.

Just needs bigger tyres & better line. But makes a good photo

Brings back some memories, similar thing, but the main issue was lack of good tyres. The roadies made this perform what was effectively a hand brake manoeuvre in the middle of the single lane track...



Wish I could remember Pedro’s username to tag him. Not that he’s around here atm.

It's @pezimm, @El_Freddo .

 

[El_Freddo]

Thanks Ratbag!

When I tried his username with the @ bit, it wasn’t found in the usual drop box...

Cheers

I had a capital P - maybe that made all the difference.

imagine you alone there and this happens..ohh boy. had this moment in snow some time ago but just drove to side little and then make car straight again. but if you have no grip at all its done.

 

[Ben Up North]

If you got it in the right spot, it would make a good see-saw.

And then exhaust in middle pushed inside bends and touches cardan, lots possibilities to have fun
