Or Porter Seven for a girl... :rolleyes: (The Beckhams have way more money than common sense, or is that stating the obvious?)

Well then, from here on you will go by name of Vas and you will not be required to wear a tutu.

Bravo Markus. :D:D:D

Hows the car project Geronimo.
Did you get the torsion bars done?

slodave 08-04-2011 12:45 AM

Ugh, that word again.. Just got a couple of offers for some hollow bars on FB.

livi 08-04-2011 12:47 AM

Sorry, Vas. Could not resist.
But seriously, how many of those languages are you familiar with? Is English your first language?

Geronimo '74 08-04-2011 12:50 AM

I got a pm from Mike about how best to proceed.
I'll be going for the 21/28 combo with adjustable rear swaybar.
The assembly of the engine is about to start.

English and a bit of Greek. :)

Too expensive, hollow ones. It's not a track car so solid ones will do for me)

28!
Man thats firm.

slodave 08-04-2011 12:59 AM

Hehe. I was offered a pair 30's for the rear and 23's up front. :)

livi 08-04-2011 01:02 AM

OK. Lets stick with English. :)

Yup. That is really a stiff bar. Too stiff in my HUMBLE opinion. A regular boner.

Dunno if that's what you want with Bilstein HD allround.... Mike said that 22 is pushing it for HD up front. You may need to upgrade to Sport on all fours. 30 is gonna be stiff no matter what you do!

How much dollars for the set?

I've read about people running 22/29 with the same shocks as mine (HD/Sport)
But since it's is not going to be a track car, 21/28 will suffice and I'll have the adjustable swaybar too for optimizing. (will need some more funds for that though.) And of course all bushings need to be replaced too.

slodave 08-04-2011 01:13 AM

I'm upgrading to sports after the sway install. I have a set of HD cores that I can have revalved or TRE has a set that may be cheaper... Torsions come after that upgrade. ;) I've got two guys offering. One has the fronts, the other, the rears. Not sure yet, have to talk to TRE on what to do, especially with a Targa.

Yeah, I need to replace bushings too. That hurts a little.

Geronimo '74 08-04-2011 01:14 AM

With a Targa, you want to weld a steel plate between the top of the windscreen and the targa bar.
It reduces flex... :D:D

slodave 08-04-2011 01:15 AM

The upgrades for me are for AX. I need to find 2 seconds immediately and also need to be able to still be competitive next season when the classifications change.

Flex keeps all 4 wheels on the ground at all times. :D :cool: :p :eek:

Geronimo '74 08-04-2011 01:16 AM

That's what the suspension is for... :)

Do you have any engine mods? (your car I mean)

slodave 08-04-2011 01:17 AM

Other than a chip, not really. I did relieve a bit of weight though. ;) One day I'll replace the rear window with a plexi*. :D

I have Wevo mounts in all 4 corners. That helps to stiffen up the chassis. ;)

* Lexan, not plexi...

Geronimo '74 08-04-2011 01:19 AM

My next project will be the interior and shedding weight. I want me some Recaro buckets bad!
