Rapicossie - For your mate,this was the spec as it was last time the can ran Front Avo coilovers with 525lb springs Front wishbones converted to roller brgs instead of bushes. Adjustable top mounts running 4degrees of neg camber.(if you search my old post you'll see the ones I make which I've got fitted to my car.They also move the strut up through the inner wing allowing you to run the car lower without loosing travel.) Polly bushed front ARB Rear 3degrees of neg with std toe(we machine arms to give this camber) 30mm ARB 23mm Torsion bars Bilstien tarmac dampers Whole car is probably lowered more than 50mm. cheers martin ________________________________________ Quote "da g man!"

What is the benefit of raising the beam with shorter mounts?Does that simply lower the COG without buggering up the suspension geometry? ________________________________________ Team 'unintentional rat look' |

Yes, also allows you to have decent suspension travel, whilst lowering the CoG________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

Nah, because stiffness increases by a fourth power of the radius, whilst weight increases only by the radius squared. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Ta Pete.Yep,the beam as it is with my ET0 wheels will give me Maxi track on the rear, I've had the wheels on the back this afternoon and it looks ace. I also think of found someone that can make me some alloy arches,I had bought some fibre glass 205 ones but I cant make them fit and they aren't wide enough anyway. ________________________________________ Quote "da g man!"

Looks a good setup there!How much of a noticeable difference did the neg camber on the rear give to the handling? |

So is the 13b Mazda engine considered fairly reliable then? Interesting choice of engine, was it due to the size or something like that?________________________________________ Just Drive It |
