Seeing the eairlier thread reminded me of something i meant to ask the other day.
Has anyone got any pictures of a sevenesque car running about 5 - 6" ground clearance as that is what i think i am going to have to run and i
fear it may look a bit wierd (if it does i will see if i can do something about it)
seriously though, it won't be far off that...

sorry, don't know why but i thought you said 6-9" just read it again
my cars about 3" i think most on here are. so twice as high as most, if it looks weird, smaller wheels will lose about an inch (if you can fit
smaller wheels than you were going to)
I was going to use the originals as the tyres are £200 per corner and i cant afford smaller ones.

Dont bring that back to this forum
I'm sure I'm running about 5" at the front (80mm from sump to floor and a good 4-5cm of sump hanging below the bottom of the chassis...
by tin top standards, 5" is still very low.
I don't think that you will notice that you have 6" chassis ground clearance. My car has 6" at the front, and 6.5" at the
rear. The sump sticks out under the chassis by 1" so the effective ground clearance is 5", and the nose cone has been taken down to that
height, so if that clears an obstruction, then so will the sump. Cheer Ray
