[TOYROTA] Regular Location: A.C.T Registered: July 2002	Re: I hate speed humps Sat, 07 September 2002 12:24 HAHA, true true. But i'm getting some new 18's soon (as opposed to the 17's) so it'll be slightly higher but not by much. When i first started going there at the start of 2001 it was shocking! My car actually bellied out and i got stuck! It was the most embarrassing day of my life and me and my friends couldn't push it off and a teacher ended up helping us get it off!!!!!!! But since then my jacking points have been completely squared off, the bumps have been eaten away, and i have fitted 17's instead of the 13's that were on it at the time. All i need really is to get a dry sump arrangement going and work out how to lift the exhaust up higher and it should be OK. I will definately still have to go diagonal cause if i nudge up to the bump stright-on the front of the car just below the bumper hits it straight away, even with the short front overhang of the TA22. But the exhaust will always scrape because it is so low that when it scrapes the speed bump pushes it up so hard that sometimes it pops off the rubber exhaust mounts!!!!!! Hopefully the extra few mm from the 18's will avoid the sump hitting the bump so hard, it actually stops the car if i go too slow. Yeah i thought about the whole jacking the car up thing, never cared for it I've only got a few more months there and i'm out so there's no point doing it now! I think i'm going to start hacking at my parents driveway on the weekend too because that also contributes to my utterly short sump and exhaust mileage! If you turn into the entrance to the Lake Ginninderra College carpark (the one after the turn where makkas is on your right) then go straight over the two speed bumps, the right-hand turn after the second bump is covered with a fat trail of oil, that's mine! the sump somehow kept most of the oil in directly after the bump then 3 metres after dumped it all over the road infront of everyone! ehe, whaddaya gonna do.
