I believe he meant distance from ground to fender.

That makes more sense.

Front is ~23" (225/40/17)
Rear is ~23.25" (245/40/17)

Raised spindles, modified LCAs, big TBs, etc, etc, etc

That is low...looks very cool. Much lower than mine.

The measuring thing has got me a bit stumped as most of the measurements quoted are ground to fender, in which both fender height and wheel/tyre combination are an issue and alter the measurement.

The car has had RSR steel arches welded on. I am not entirely confident in the arch height measurements as a result so have used the factory method. Tyres are 225/45/17 and 255/40/17 which doesn't help either.

I'm on a Euro '86 Turbo shell which according to the workshop manual specification should measure 94mm front (centre wheel - centre torsion bar) and 12mm rear (centre torsion bar - centre wheel).

I have settled at 134mm front and -28mm rear, both exactly 40mm below spec. This gives (according to an inclinometer placed on the door sill) 1 degree of forward rake and the eye confirms it looks a bit nose down/arse up.

Front tyre is just tucked under the arch by a couple of mm, rear has a gap of a few mm.

120mm ground clearance and tie rods are only 2 deg over level so no bump steer issues.

Translate that to the wheel arch heights and I am at 25" rear, 24 3/4" front.

Having trouble with photo upload but will do so when I work it out...

Very pleased, because it just got the registration yesterday

It may not be real, but it's real enough!

If you can touch it, it's real.

Great car. What is the color?

[turbine930]

It‘s not a porsche-color. I took a RAL-color: cream-white RAL9001, which seams to work very well.

During wintertime I changed the blue stripes to dark-red ones and added some more splashes of color. Actually I‘m instaling a heigo roll bar. Then I should be ready for the first springtime-drive with my 1986-backdate. Can‘t wait!

Finally dialled the ride height & stance with a lil nose down up front. Drives great & looks great now!

Hello from Malaysia!
