Thanks Guys..

Just tock her for a spin this evening.

My god what a differance the upgrade did.

I put on:

Turbo tie rods

Torsionbars F 22mm R 29mm

Adjustable Swaybars F&R

New Bushings.


Feels like she bends the asfalt already.

And yet i still got a long way to go..


Jk369

I adjusted the front as low as possible.
And the rear i think i got something like 24" from the ground up to the fender.

I can get the exact mesurements for you if you like.


Mo_Gearhead

Sadly i cant take credit for the gardening.
Winter took care of the leaves.


More Pics

.




Best regards

Patrick Hansson

No. Due to a canceld vacation i diddnt have time to get the car back together.

I just finnished everything late thusday evening.

So in hoping i can attend the trackday at mantorp the 9´th od september instead.

Perhaps eaven got time to go to the classic run at Gelleråsen on the 2´nd of september.

Only time will tell.

So you are also running Toyo R tripple 8.

Heard alot of good about those tyres.

I was actually thinking on getting a set ounce my michelin MXX3 is worn out.

Good luck with the car on the other track sessions, I hope the sun will stay out for you!
I still have so much work to do on my car, so will not see the track again until next summer

Yes the R888 is a really good tyre. I am very happy with it.
