G'day all,

I have recently resurrected my XXX-S G+, and want to use it on the paved street in front of my house. should I be doing anything special to my ride so that it doesn't get destroyed? I am going to jack up the ride height as high as it will go (even though I don't remember how to do that since its been so long, but I think it had to do with the threaded shocks and the placement of the shock in the shock tower), but I am interested to know if there is anything else that I can do to do minimal damage to it. The street I will be on is smooth, but there is of course the odd rock, etc. that can do big damage.

Thanks

XXX-S was an incredible car for its time. It was pretty much bullet proof in all situations. Make sure you run it with the gear cover on as if you dont, there is no way for small pebbles to escape the sealed drivetrain.

ride height is pretty standard at 5mm.

start your droop at 3mm all around.
