  1. Is the Mazda 3 Saloon here yet.?. Nice as it might be the little one screams Boy Racer, old-school Civic era.

    Yes it is. you have the choice of the 4 door or 5 door. both have the exact same wheelbase so not sure why you think the 5 door is the smaller boy racer version....

    Or are you being your typical <deleted> self having a dig at me again... I base this on your smart mouth quip about water ingress.

    Well...Nevermind...just be safe and stay behind....your in Thailand, the elevator dont run to the top floor..

    Ummmm yeah righto..... you try to rebutt my answer to you saying "i have never seen a truck fall inwards" with actual proof they fall outwards due to centrifugal forces..........

    What point are you trying to make ?

    ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

    Im trying to explain a scenario of what happens inside a truck driving with goods in liquid form, when driving in curves, i might fail to explain properly due to lack of english speaking / writing skills..im not a native.

    First...Look at the truck go Straight forward..in Thailand the left side of the truck would be "inside" and the right side would be "outside"

    If the truck driving through a left curve (the liquid will force the centrifugal force go the right) right after the truck makes a right curve, forcing the liquid (centrifugal force) go to the left side of the truck..

    If you add speeding to that it will force the top load point to move very fast from the right and towards the left side, causing the truck to tip and fall down inside the lane where you driving...bang..tomato..

    I hope it makes sense..

    If the truck is going around a right hand turn the inside is the right hand side. If the truck is going around a left hand turn the inside is the left side.

  3. And that is the exact reason why you will never see me on the outside of any truck when it is turning/cornering.

    It makes no difference being on the outside or inside of any truck driving with goods in liquid form...

    Stay behind in curves and pass it when the road goes straight as fast as possible..

    I have never seen a truck fall to the inside of a corner/turn.

    ...Yes in a corner turn would seem unlikely that the truck would fall inside...but i said in curves, i have seen it serveral times, with trucks speeding and un aware of the heavy top point of their load, especially with trucks driving with liquid as the top point moves inside the truck "tank" continually

  5. 2" isn't much! Without trying to be funny I fail to see how 2" is going to help when you charging through the unseen jungles of Thailand. 6" would be much better together with some really fat tyres.

    I like the image of charging through some unseen Thai jungle but to be honest, i don't think im really gonna get the chance to do much of that. The lift is more for the look it will have. I like the idea of some really fat tyres so when these 31's have worn out, i will definately look into something more fancy.

    On a truck a 2" lift is barely noticeable. My Brother in law has Old man Emu springs on his PJS. The ride is good but the lift isn't so noticeable. I would thin 4" would give a good lift and not be too over the top.

    2" lift on the front of my Ranger is very noticeable.
