Hi Guys
How do you get a standard ute to handle on a racetrack ? Mine has king springs with escort inserts front and standard rear springs.
It has initial turn in oversteer and then is reasonably neutral but lacks grip.
How much difference will lowering 30mm make?I have a topgear LSD going in shortly and wonder what this will do to the handling
Cheers
Bob

Georges 120Y was owned by Jamie Drummond (ex nissan suspension guru,now Drummond motor sport or DMS). To the best of my knowledge it was built specifically for George to win The Alpine Rally.It was an absolute work of art because of Jamies and Georges attention to detail.Saw these guys change a clunky rear end in under 10 minutes at a roadside service which meant pulling complete rear end out, replacing rear end ,bleeding brakes etc.This was done at 10 at night in the dark.
The old diff was rebuilt that night and back in Bright 6 am next dayas the spare.
While we are on the topic of legends whatever happened to Murray Cootes mid engined 1200 coupe ?

kev rowleys 180sx brake conversion would be the go for you. Keep your struts and suspension, bugger all extra weight.

How do you keep lowered springs in position when heavy cornering will let the lowered spring flop around ?

Hi Guys
Is supercharging an A15 an economical way to get a good power boost ?
Is it a hard thing to achieve ?

Cheers
Bob

Just took up a set of dirty old hot wires to the local truck wash . They have some heavy duty chemicals that you can't get over the counter. They cleaned up up great and a bit of polish and they will be almost as good as new
