-Custom lower strut brace.

:y:

very clean looking wicked red saxo,

where did you get that pipe from?
i fancy a pikey addition to my air filter too.

yeah that does look pretty pikey lol.


i got it from the garden shed it was just lying about in there, im sure you can get it from any motorshop.

its changed since then to a bmc set-up.

Good progress webby:y:

cheers lads. :y:

its coming along well im not half harting this anymore hence the suspension. any bits will either be top notch proven gear or custom made & designed.

bastard LEDAs!! awesome!

yeah especially at the price i got them at, retail puts them at 2k excluding the top mounts. i paid a damn sight less.

as said here are a few pics.

front strut


rear damper


top mounts


clutch


lightweight crank pulley


seats


im going to be making some custom sub frames for the seats to mount them low enough so i can get in with a helmet on.

the LEDAs have just been serviced too so are in perfect working order. they are going to get a lick of paint before they are fitted.

gorgeous colour not to keen on the seats tho soz!

they are not my favs' but i still like them they are there to serve a purpose though do a better job of holding me in than standards.

and tbh function is following form now but im not forgetting it.

very very nice :y:

Where did you source the leda's? Was someone selling them that didnt know what they were?

Nice dude! Keep it up ;)

nah the guy i got them off had just upgraded to ohlins stuff during the off season so just wanted rid. he had them fitted with 325lb front springs and 23mm rear bars, he wanted to keep them bits though.

i have had a change of plan too and tbh its your car that has given me the kick up the arse to do it properly.

so this is going to remain as is with a few little tweaks nothing major and im selling my civic and buy a vts to compete with. :y:

well t-minus 6 days before its off the road and i cant wait.

im sick of the bastard tbh!
its has become nearly undrivable with a clutch right on its last legs and a icv playing up coupled to a few other bits. im fairly sure the head gasket has started leaking too.

im taking it up to wayne to get it thrown on the rollers just for a figure before its winter going over and then i'll go after winter for comparision.

keep an eye out for a spec list which should be getting typed up later but a few things will be changing.

sounds like you'll need to go stiffer to match the leda dampers? maybe 250lb+?

good thing about these ross they are adjustable gas struts so i can pretty much run anything from 150lb to full blown tarmac race 400lb+.

im still undecided on what rate tbh. because i cant afford torsion bars atm.
so might stay on the softer side because springs are only £50 a pair. 2.5" i.d springs are pretty common.

Sounds a great set of dampers!! 2.5" springs are cheap from rallyedesign and DT and Faulkner so is a good plan !! Will be cool to hear how these handle !!

Good work webby!!

well as said this is all the crap that should be happening over winter.
