How To make your car bounce around

Postby golden wonder » Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:47 pm

Hi

Just wondered if anyone knew how to make your car bounce around as its driving like they do in the American movies? I know there is one rude way of doing it but how do they make the car bounce up and down....was just thinking it might be fun to do....ha ha :-)

It's done by large and powerful hydraulic rams and a programmable controller. There's folk for everything.... :lol:

With equally powerful pumps.

Poor mans version, take all the shock absorbers off... Then it will bounce around all day long as you drive. :D

It has been done to a HC. There was/is a gold saloon with all the hydraulics fitted, think it was in the Cornwall/Dorset area. Always seemed to pop up on surfing photos.

Many, many moons ago, when I had YDV624L, the gold one and I drove in, side by side (good timing or what) into the show and shine at RTTS :-) he was up on three wheels as he drove in, front right in the air. Wish I had a camera back then.
