Front Anti-Rollbar Droplinks

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

While the car was at rideheight I thought that I should get the droplinks for the front anti-rollbar. In actual fact I used the ones from the rear, as these were too long on the rear and I bought some female rosejoints to sort it. But on the front these fitted a treat!

To do the corner weights the car need to go on the flat floor and scales. The scales have been set up for the other bay. I could have set them up to use in my by, but I just thought it would be easier to move the cars over. Whilst doing this I thought this was just quite a nice photo

Springs

Its always good to be prepared. To that end I have got myself a load of different springs for the font and rear. I am not sure which will be needed, but quite often we change springs for different trqacks, and obviously for wet/dry, so you end up with a load of different ranges!

Front Damper Spacers

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

Whilst sorting the front bump stops, I noticed, although I should have done before, that the front right damper was able to rotated just enough to rub the steering column. It was going to be a problem in itslef, like locking the column, but it was going to damage the canister, so I thought I whould stop it from being able to rotate enough. So I knocked up a couple of nylon spacers to limit the rotation.

Bump Stops

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

Now I have almost finished setting the car up. All that is left to do is the corner weights. But before I set these I thought it best to get some bump stops. I might not need them but seeing as I dont really know I thought if I had some I could experiment with them. So I had to remove the front dampers, disassemble them, slide on the bumpstop and then reassemble.
