How does it keep the same spring rate but become soft? isnt spring rate whether its soft or hard or am i missing something? That was a little poorly worded. A standard spring is designed for a relatively large amount of travel. For example, at the original ride height the car may be able to travel 200mm before hitting the bumpstops. Once lowered, the car can no longer travel this far before hitting the bumpstops, it may be reduced to something like 150mm of travel with a 50mm drop. If you compress the springs you still have the original springrate, which will likely be too soft with the vehicles new ride height. Choice makes sense to me now

alfa's turned up at my work, such a rad sud. possibly will be buying it and resurecting, mint mechanically still just minor rust in body and drivers door and hatch are rooted. better get race car done first tho

hey man what about using a gel cell battery? ive got one for my racecar and it has more cca and all that jazz that a normal din44 that the car uses. give speed supplies motorsport in lower hutt a ring they sorted me out one quite cheaply like less than half the cost of a equivalent oddesy battey from racetech.

hi i am looking for somewhere to store and work on 1 or 2 cars. prefer lower Hutt but any wellington place will be ok, or can anyone recomend some good lockup type place where you can work on car etc? cheer Richard

ill be there rain or shine, mg are doing there big meet in november that used to be whittikars but not anymore

+1 also fiat twin cams from 124/125 most powerful standard 2l is 130 hp. or convert to 16v head off lancia thema/delta or take delta integrale engine and convert to rwd and have lots and lots of POWA. alfa twin cams are the same from the 60s till the 150hp 75 twinspark which bolts up to early cars gearboxs (75 has transaxle in back). 156/147 twin sparks are based on fiat block and have 170hp as are the modern jts compression monsters. just my 2c i am biased to itallion stalions. i suggest you drive a good example of what ever car the motor you want is in, some which are usally mundane on paper may be really fun to drive like 68hp alfasud 1200tis what a rant

yea man keen, boss hated it. its coming back on wednesday this week, should come round in the id and freak the boss out
