is this you getting old richie

 

saw it today looks like any other cossy now ,i personally like being noticed but its still got all the toy,s underneath .next thing on your to do list will be a fuzzy dice & driving gloves .pmsl

 

Looks wank without the stickers mate

Needs standard bumper and boot lid now.

 

Looking good!

I've just noticed you've got aerocatches on the front bumper. Are they they only points on which it's fitted? Do you just open them and whip the bumper off?

I may need to run a similar set-up on my Escort as the original fixings points no longer exist, and a quick release system would be very handy!

 

Yes mate i think it is



Shut it you Did you not notice the pink furry dice in the kitchen window


I miss them already Its like he's not the Real Shonky anymore



Yes mate, just undo them and off it pops

 

Cool! Looks like I'll be having them on every panel at this rate!

Cheers mate!

 

hi rich

to be honest it does look alot better without the kellogs frosty strips off

 

I prefered it with the stickers on

 

And me, looks CHAVVY as fook now..............

 

Prefer also WITH stripes ON!!!

 

i think it looked better with the stickers on tbh, maybe pink ones?

 

Get rid of that bumper and rear spoiler now please Rich, good start though

 

Change the exhaust & ditch the spoiler for something a little more.....erm....subtle - be spot on then son!!!

 

infact, i think the KA should have tiger stipes too, lol

 

that looks cool...

 

That actualy looks cool as fuck, but think the saff looks better without the stripes.

 

its a photoshop btw

 

looking good

 

how many sets of wheels do you own???

 

Update time again.


Ever since fitting the adjustable TCAs and compression struts i've never been happy with the way the car feels when driving normally. The front just feels strange

So the options were to fit the standard arb again or try and get a front mount arb set up.

Rally Design do one but it looks like a Fisher Price toy affair

So after plenty of searching finally managed to get hold of a genuine 909 one It mounts to the chassis rails and the drop links attach to the compression strut/tca fixing bolt.












Obviously i will be copying it if any one is interested

 

Nice set up. Hope it works for you

 

All that work for a Saff..........


















Seriously Richie, good job fella, fingers crossed it,ll drive better now.

I hated how my saff drove with the Zoo beam etc, NEVER felt safe at high speeds, felt like someone was pulling on the wheel all the time..

 

is the plan we were talking about a few months ago, in regards to the anti roll bar and crossmember etc?

 

In hand already mate

 

looking good mate, how much would it be if you replicated that anti roll bar?

 

Hi Ronnie

Just waiting for an answer back from the engineers mate, i'll keep you posted

 

Can you shop that to frost white with no stripes and silver wheels please fella

 

sorry mate, didnt mean to be rude how are you?

sweet, been trying to think of a way to keep my anti roll bar and comp struts, was thinking of a series 1 style set up, but you've saved the day



that looks wicked!

 

It is pretty much impossible to take a coloured car and turn it white in photoshop, as you loose all the highlights and shadow, leaving you with no detail, if that makes sense?

 

Looking good mate.

 

how much does a roll bar set up like that cost if you don't mind me asking

 

Do it silver then

 

Seriously interesting thread Richie - taken ages for me to get to here as I've not seen it before

The bit about the compression struts interested me - what setting is your caster currently - 3'30 ish?

Very interested in the front mount ARB - what specifically will this allow?

 

richie how much you going to charge me for a copied bladed roll bar just remember who can do your welding

 

looking good rich

remember you have to use the same metal as these were designed so when you turn them they give different ratings and they wont snap

 

Id fancy that front ARB set up Rich, I already have a 909 ARB but need a subframe for the front. Loving the work on the KA at Pod Central day.

 

Not looked at this for ages!

Going back to earlier posts, I preferred it with the stripes! But, I still love it, just cos it sticks two fingers up at the purists

ARB set up looks cool too

 

you dont need a subframe , in fact they get in the way , im already fabricating the ARB mounts to weld to the chassis ,i'll get a thread up when theyre done .
sorry to jump on your thead, good work by the way .

 

correct, so unless you have some mystical way of finding out, it will be a bit tricky without cutting it up

 

Presumably this ARB set up offers infinite stiffness adjustment? Any other advantages? More stability under braking/acceleration?
