Hi Din
Please give some feedback on the chip conversion, power torque fuel etc.
Is your engine running smooth now?
Any news on the diff locker?

PWVEN:
This weekend I looked for the adjustment bolts - But i couldn't see any.
The torsion bars end in the cross member below the front doors, men there is no bolt any where in sight here. At the end of the bar there is a rubber sleeve where the bar is secured onto the cross member. Am I looking in the wrong place??[]
Thanks
Dane

 

Hi Dane
You are at the right place. On that cross member where the tortion bar ends about 100mm towards the outside of the car is the bolt.
It may look like a bolt houlding down the cross member but this is the bolt to adjust the tortion bar. Let me know if you need more info.

hello all, new user here.....little shy but wanted to know if any one knew some answers?

 

OK PWVEN, I rember seeing this bolts - and yes, I did think they were for bolting the cross member onto the chassis frame.
Looks like I will be having a bit of fun this weekend

PWVEN, have you notice that the plastic (!!!!) skid plate under the engines is covered by some kidn of thick foamy material on the top side? I have tried to figure out what this is for... my conclusion is for reducing noise that is reflected from the engine onto the ground. Or do you have any better suggestions. Would like to replace the plastic plates (one in front and one under engine) with sheet metal. The plastic SUCKS [sm=badidea.gif]and I think that Hyundai should have used a metal plate instead.

 

some other comments.
torsion bar - very POOR ones, i have a winch in front and i already played with the bars twice but after so long its falling down to the original height.
there are no HD replacements in the market yet or i failed to find.
if you do raise the front pay attention to the bump stops (rubber ones in the front suspension), you must have clearance of at least 3 cm" from the top one, otherwise the car will be stiff and of course no travel for the shocks.
i replaced the shocks for Koni's - perfect result.

by the way my tires have been changed to 265.70.16. and not 255.70.16

 

Wow, 265/70. Without IFS lift!! But there is only about 1-2cm clearence between the tire and the inner arches on full steering lock. This winter, the snow from the tires rubbed against inner arches on full lock.
So how does 265/70 fit??
Do you have photo's? This I would like to see
Problem is BFG do no make AT's in 265/70, then it's 265/75, which certainly do not fit

With the new 265.70.16 tyers, how do you find the handling of the vehicle?
Do you find the extra 7mm ground clearance helpful?
