Hi' I'm new to this site and this is my new van it's 2lt.D   any tips on lowering my van would be great

[mabel89]

Hi all i just lowerd the liteace and got hold of some wheels

[bortaf]

Lowering blocks or did you have to chop the coils? (or both lol )
what are the wheels off ? any more mods planned?

[mabel89]

Hi i used 1 and half inch blocks on the back  and wound the front torsion bars down the wheels are off a lotus eclat s1 i am looking for side windows but they are like poor quality wobbly children's play pony poo

[bortaf]

Did they do a spacecruiser in that shape ?

Those wheels look great.

Try getting side windows made from tinted perspex
Use the panels as a template and universal window rubber seals.. or better still find some porthole style windows on the interweb.. Cool little van

[mabel89]

They made them in a masterace J import and other names like townace and so on  

triel run with the wheels on need some 5mm spacers on front and maybe get bigger set spacers for the back and i have to get hold of one more wheels as one is not in the best of cond  the port hole windows is good idear i'm on the net now looking at the min

Most camper conversion places should be able to help with tinted Perspex windows

Woah! That looks amazing! So simple yet so amazing!

What are your plans when you've added some windows? A full on camper conversion or do some people carrying? I think these are about the same size as Mitsubishi Delica L300 arn't they? Maybe an interior swap, 2 captains chairs in the centre and a 3 seater bench in the rear, all fold down to make a bed? Just a thought

I've got a Hiace of similar vintage and I'm so jealous of the choice of wheels you have... It's proving almost impossible to find some wheels for my van

Reminds me of my old liteace, in fact i have a set of pads and discs if you ever need some

cheers i love the thing i love the wheels but they were pain to fit   the wheel nuts are a curse word they need  to be lotus nuts i got a set off them but wrong stud size m10 but need m12 so got hold of some toyota bolts but they needed a 0.8mm shim ? it has a bed in the back out of a volvo lorry  i want some port hole windows for the sides and bord out and carpit the inside as very loud when driven  but the dog loves it booming around cornwall.As for a cool hiace wheels try mitsubishi starion wheels should fit if you want some nice retro wheels

I removed the lower most leaf from the spring pack ,aswell as the lowering blocks.that did the trick on my hiace.

[mabel89]

I'm going to have a look at the rear leaf spring today and cuting the front bump stops down at the front

[mabel89]

 I lowered the back a another inch or so just by lifting the leaf springs so it sit justs were i want it

[petetong]

That's looking better.
