New bits added to the 205 (lots of pics)

[Fee]

....ready for knockhill on Friday []

New suspension time for the wee thing

The rears went on fine no bother at all... but the front were a bit puzzling.

feckin gearbox oil...

got ****in covered in the shoot

Putting new suspension on .... jiggling the hub about.... whoopsio... oh oh spagettio... big puddle of oil on floor.

The opposite shaft had popped out dribblin its jizz over the floor.... didnt notice till nearly all of it was out

min

got upper and lower strut braces to try them out...since we disconnected the ARB for the front suspension

All done now to try out on track on Friday....getting new front tyres on tomorrow and the tracking done.

From experience, how long does it usually take for new suspension to bed down?

that's what i like to see attention to the details like copperslipping and painting !! noice !! as for bedding in the suspension a few circuits of your cobbled streets should just about do it !! wish i had a wee project like that !! well done mate !!

edit loving those spring compressors !! where did you get them ?? mine got burned in the bad fire lol !!

Bigdavie, IIRC thise spring compressors are by Franklin, used to have a set until somebody borrowed they and never returned them [:@]

Adam got it from Pentland I think

The car looks ace, really like the white wheels. I might be in the same warm up group as you tomorrow with the golf!

painting, passing tools, banging her heed..... Fee's jobs..

The compressors are LASER ones.... fairly cheap affairs.

Still a bit concerned about the car being understeery with the suspension that much higher at the front.
