bud you can chuck the 5" strait in. But you have the option to go another 2" with a suspension lift

navara

hey mate i just brought a new 2012 st navara and looking at putting the calmini lift in have you had any problems with yours so far and notice you a 2 inch lift on top of the calmini one how dones it go offroad?

 

[mannnick]

na dude no dramas. its been once in the dunes and loved it haha

So i installed the 3" full exhaust system today. Wat a fk around trying to unbolt that ugly section off the turbo. Got there in the end and i must say that the car absolutely hammers now. The chip and exhaust have made a world of difference very happy!!!!

 

[dnav40]

Oh that's good it's a MADD looking truck haven't stopped looking at the pics of it. Yeah I'm looking at a chip and exhaust but the lift and tyres will be coming first did you notice and power loss when you put your big tyres on and also did you put your lift in yourself?

 

[mannnick]

umm torque i did but the chip and zaust have definitely made the car a lot faster than stock. Na i didn't buddy.... decided i would get someone else to do it while i was away for work. but once it was done it made things like the exhaust a lot easier to do on your own

 

[dnav40]

Oh okay if you don't me asking how much was it to get installed and I seen you had trouble getting thr calming lift kit did you get the 2 inch tough kit of them also?

How does your insurance company like the lift mannick

 

[morticus]

Well it is engineerable... So if you go with justcar, they will insure unlimited legal mods. I did a quote up with them last week i think it was around the $1500 mark...

 

[mannnick]

well i have told them about my lift tyres etc...insurance is $890 a year with RAC and i get one free claim a year

i have another car and my house with them.....i have also had insurance with them for over 6 years with no claims hence the low premium

 

[mannnick]

removed the rear bar and replaced it with what arb call a beaver panel

 

[chris92]

thats a very nice looking rig mannnick, how is ur suspension going? does it have abit of give or is it hard?

 

[mannnick]

thanks man
yeah the suspension has a bit of give bro...soft enough any softer and it would feel to much like a boat

 

[chris92]

[mannnick]
