Loving the last set of pics matey! Feel free to post more whenever you can!

That looks really nice! Good job!

Has done 14.3 @ 96 with 2.1 60ft @ Santa pod. 0-60 timed at 6 secs @ GTI international

Thanks - it's a H&R 28mm rear ARB with 3 way adjustment (drop links)

Well Alex, if our paths cross jump in!!

Good looking car, what steering wheel and boss are you using?

Thats nice, I bet its fairly safe handling?
Looked well driven which makes a change for a castle combe trackday vid! I'm just laughing at the Mk3 escort cabriolet out on track in the wet...

[ does a middle finger salute @ the slammed police ]



I bought these VR6 Coil overs , they are a bit tatty, but aren't Bilstein as advertised, as I found out that.....

***H&R *** use Bilstein inverted monotube dampers....

Not very often I get a proper bargain - but this time I bloody did! :lol:

Fitted them night before last, in the dark .

Far too low = front arch - tyre scrubbage.



Raised it 15mm on the threads (95mm of thread) @ the front and dropped it down at the back (50mm of thread) to give a level stance.

Needs the geo setting up and once I've moved the battery going to get it corner-weighted. [ChrisP might need your mate Jtech's details?]

Even though the Bilstein dampers are not adjustable it gives a firm but well damped ride, isn't crashy at all.

Springs are 180-70 front 300-50 rear

[QUOTE]The way H&R lists springs is "length-rate"

The 180-070 in the front is the length of the spring in milimeters, 180 and the rate 070. The 300-050 for the rear is the spring length in millimetres, 300, and the rate 050.

The rates are listed in newtons/mm of travel and can be converted to lbs/inch as follows, 1 newton / millimeter = 5.71014715 pounds force / inch.

So 70N/mm = 399.7 lbf/in
and 50N/mm = 285.5 lbf/in[/QUOTE]




More pics















Fitted gen VW new header tank as my old one was no longer transparent so meant taking the cap off to check the level..

Yes. I could go lower with the rear ride-height, but have to consider arch clearance as I have increased the rear track 20mm each side. Also not tried my 888s on there yet, as they have squarer sidewalls may have probs with tyre>arch scrubbage. B)

How's the new suspension Gary? Have you had the geo set up yet with them?

Is that somewhere near Worcester?

Need to get mine done soon - heard anything bad about Northampton Motorsport?
