lifted road cars, many many pics, (Has it started?)

Non country or syncro lifted golf


Suzuki swift or geo metro, 2" lift and was quite happy that the cd player worked quite well upside down! me i like the roof lights, they work well with the wedge shape




Civic, think there might not be enough suspension articulation.





this nissan is just HARD!


Lawsy
not sure we actually have a green lane equivalent over here, i thought your green lanes would be like our forestry trails, flat with the occasional massive pot hole.
high the new low? people love accessories and high cars need proper addons or else it's just a bit useless. Low cars look best with out tat so thats a little dull for those who can't stop fiddling ;D.

Is there any more info on this???

those three you posted up (Golf/Swift/Civic) work really well, I'm liking this idea more and more, such a break from the norm its refreshing, not that slammed cars are boring in the slightest, they rule. period.

Can't seem to post the links at work but this thread sounds a lot like the kind of modification that has been happening in 'Classic Reliability Trials' for the last 100 years or so.

Type that into YouTube or have a look at the ACTC (Assoc. of Classic Trials Clubs) website and see just how high a fwd Mk1 / 2 Golf can be made to climb an unsurfaced track .....

Completely agree though, given the state of the roads at the mo. the greater the ground clearance and higher the sidewalls are where it's at.

leigh, I can't think of any other color more suited then matt black.


sorry, you could try fishing around on the nasioc site, thats where the owner is.

cianha, I take it from your cant your in ireland too? know any good place to get muddy?

Indie, class 1 trials, looks the job, more grip and a winch and I reckon you'd have a go an almost anywhere car.

Says 4x4's not allowed here, www.themotorcyclingclub.org.uk/gotrial/gotrial_car.htm I know you could buy 2wd Vitaras abroad so maybe the XC-90 was the same, or maybe they can run modified.

I shall fire off an email i reckon.

I was thinking about starting trials myself using a 300 series volvo (rwd) but things moved on.

As my SJ is off the road I've been using my corsa B round the lanes for roadside work, my mate parked it by a boulder that I didn't notice and I jumped in and drove over it and split the cat (arrgh) it performs ok in the mud though but the interior is now totally ruined.

Bear in mind that trials only allow road tyres, I imaging some mud tyres would make all the difference to any car in the right situation.

have fun and post it up whatever you do.

Damn you and your off-road car ideas! Did a quick sketch earlier at work but I intend to do some proper stuff when I get the chance. I give you the BajaCorsa!
