got a mrs and a 18 mnth old lad so dont need to go showing off at maccy dazzlers to impress some lil hoe. Theres nothing round my end like that so i.m.o it would be kinda original. Id love a yank tank but would have to set up a charity to put fuel in a big ass yank tank winkeye

Must have accidentally stumbled on the 'council mods' thread again! :P

Not my cup of tea at all, but whatever floats your boat.

Tbh, if you are considering hydraulics, I think the rest of your car needs to be equally extravagant to match = £££.

so the only reason for spending many hundreds of pounds is to have a car that bounces up and down?
who does that impress then?
surely looking like a knob cant be the desired effect? :D
