Went to Croft yesterday to watch the xmas rally stages (quality day too!)

There was a red evo which handled pretty weird, very bouncy and loads of suspension travel. Anyway.... It seems to have airbags (possibly???) and a torsion bar front and back

Any particular reason why he'd go for that over standard coilovers and other gubbins???

Rear axle notice the pump type thing on just behind the wheel?




Front axle

1.9 xr2 on 40's

cos its adjustable from in the car aint it?

air bags??? then look like dust covers to me mate? just look like coil overs

Yeah I wasn't sure about the airbag thing.... I put it in so I could be corrected....

Still the torsion bars and that funny pump thing.... it just wasn't the same as the evo which was parked next to it which had a totally different suspension set-up.

Sure its not just gravel spec? That would make the car look 'floaty'

the pump thing is prob so the driver can change the suspension set up from on the fly or it self leveling.

Dunno all the other cars were low and handled like they were on rails, this was high bouncy and loved to cock-up wheels in the corners..... Perhaps it was a rally-cross car I dunno

I think the "Torsion bar" is infact the anti-roll bar

Ah well in that case I'm completely wrong and the thread can be closed lol

I'll give myself a couple of these.....

THere's quite a few lines there. The callipers could also be water cooled.

Charlie Paynes Evo 7

Just on a gravel set up by the looks of it.

Finished 7th O/A so despite looking odd it was being driven hard

This is how "wierd" it looked cornering hard

Thats the one.... I'm suprised it only came 7th tbh.... It was giving it death round the corners, sounded immense too!

I was there on sunday and i thought it handled shit too.The front wings were cut out for more suspension travel.
