Title: modified suspension Post by: thecolonel on February 19, 2010, 01:32:28 PM well, I've tried anyway (fitting for Gamma but would equally suit Beta)
units came from a subaru WRX STI (had to lay out £25.00 for a s/hand set) Title: Re: modified suspension Post by: hongkongphooey on February 19, 2010, 06:42:10 PM That looks fairly close to the beta rears.
Oh hang on.....you've added the bottom lancia fittings to the scooby units haven't you? Title: Re: modified suspension Post by: thecolonel on February 19, 2010, 09:16:27 PM Yes, seemed the easiest/cheapest way to get what I wanted, they'll be seam welded before use.
Title: Re: modified suspension Post by: hongkongphooey on February 20, 2010, 12:55:10 PM Great work. Did you just use guesswork for the sizing of the scoob units or were they just at the right price? 25 quid is seriously cheap!!
Title: Re: modified suspension Post by: thecolonel on February 20, 2010, 02:27:33 PM I sort of reasoned that as the Subaru used a similar engine and was a similar weight
that the units would be close enough to the Gamma, then I decided that at £25.00 there was no great loss in "aving a go" I knew the s/hand units had blown inserts but still £25.00 for Cusco adjustable coilovers well........ ;D Title: Re: modified suspension Post by: thecolonel on March 16, 2010, 06:44:05 PM well, suspension now installed
cusco/gamma struts, golf front inserts, cavalier rear inserts (actually cavalier fronts fitted to gamma rear) Title: Re: modified suspension Post by: thecolonel on March 16, 2010, 06:44:40 PM and now :-
