sorry I didnt understand what you meant by 4 rods? mine has the adjustable air suspension. each wheel/shock has an adjustable rods which look like baby track rod arms, been told they can take a lot of playing with to get the set up just right. will look at all the Soarer forums. spent most of saturday interior cleaning, the leather seats and door trims came up very well, but the carpets are stained, i think the last owner used this car as the team bus for a rugby squad, boots and all, after the first wash the removable mats look like this   second wash ive used Vanish pre wash bar of soap, 3 of the 4 now look good, so its another go for the drivers mat after rubbing the bar of soap into the mat I'm leaving it for a good hour before i ram it into the washing machine (yes the wife has gone out) ive also bought some Vanish power foam for the main fixed carpets, which are bad at the sills and corners where the mats never coverd, this foam is sprayed on worked into the carpet with a damp cloth or I'm going to try a nail brush then left to dry/soak in, for 2hrs then when dry vacums off, fingers crossed how can i edit the end of the title of this thread, from introduction to interior cleaning (I'm sure ive done it before but not today) **now sorted thanks to "meltdown" cheers, and yes please i will have those updated rear lights off of you** |

jet washing also works well on carpet mats , dump some hot soapy water on em for a while then blast at a sensible distance

To change your original heading, go to your first post and click the settings cog and choose edit. Make your adjustment in the heading and hit save  . With regards to the height adjustment its a pain in the  to get right. Essentially you need to switch the system off in the boot. Then disconnect the battery. Measure the rods as they are and make a record of the setting. Then adjust by no more than a thread at a time. drop the car back in its wheels, plug the battery in, switch the system on and go for a drive, it'll need this to reset the height and relearn. Measure again and follow procedure until you are happy. Plugging in an aftermarket height controller makes it easier but to be honest its better to junk the entire system and fit coilovers. |

I replaced all the rods on mine as they snap as soon as you try take them off. I used rose joints off ebay and m6 rod. Once you lower it, it will ride like aboslute curse word. This was mine  |

Coilovers are ultimately the better option, especially after an airbag fails.

Once you lower it, it will ride like aboslute curse word. hey it may drive worse, but still getting the looks from the ladies  washed the drivers mat for the 3rd time, and i think that will do.  still to do, the inside, with the flash coming on they don't look half as nasty as they are passengers front  drivers front  and again  rear drivers side  "meltdown" i should be over at Bristol on the 20th of september, could pick those lights up there. had a go with the fixed carpet, some areas came good others not so, but all the bits that show are reasonable, these are the finished results. drivers front  drivers rear  passengers front  |

plan 3) took a step closer, went for a chat with Trowbridge's very own PROTINT UK who do vehicle mapping, wrapping and tinting, had a good long talk, banged a few ideas around, took some measurements and will see what the quote comes back as.   just a small sample of colours available  feeling some what frustrated today, having to wait on this quote and with the car being away having a new stainless steel exhaust made, so that she sounds how a V8 should. on the bright side of things, the wife drove the car on sunday....and she liked it ! so thats a "winner winner chicken dinner", although no ones allowed to eat in the car, now that ive clean it. |

got the car back from the custom exhaust specialist, a few with her on the ramps   a great soft rumble on tick over (maybe still a bit quiet) but get her over 2 and a half revs and she comes alive, at least this way i will still get on with the neighbours (hopefully) |

its hard to video on your own !, want to capture it starting up, and a few mid range revs. and yes the cats have gone. any way used my mopping machine today for the first time, bought it from Lidl last year been to scared to use it on the Supra (l.o.l.) ran it over the boot and roof then gave the rest a quick go, no improvement on the boot and roof. (ive added two pictures to my first post of the poor paint work on the roof and boot) the rest came up pretty well   oh forgot to say ive swithed the wheels over, next job (or when ever) i need to lower that air suspension somewhat. Drove her to work last night (shift work), coming home in the dark for the first time was fun "not"! who ever fitted the after market headlamps never lined them up what so ever, drivers side was looking for WWII bombers and I'm not sure where the passengers one was pointing, going from main beam to dip was more like going from main to just side lights, thats a job for my first rest day for sure. |

Looking good, when you come to Bristol I'll give you a hand videoing it.
