noodels Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 4 cars !!! thats Very excessive does sit very well on the showa teg R ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimbob738 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 how come a rear arb doesn't fit? Because the DC2 ARB fits the subframe not the underside of the boot, so in simple terms no where to fit it and the Drop links wont line up with the MGZS ARB.

Guest jimbob738 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 4 cars !!! thats Very excessive does sit very well on the showa teg R ones I know, well the company car TDCI fiesta going back as a pool car at work basically unless I wanna pay tax then its got to live on works premises and I aint paying no more tax F that, and the Volvo im gonna try selling it again problem is everyone know they are 20mpg guzzlers so everyone stays well away, might end up weighing it in at sims scrap metal no jokes. yeah the car sits nice on the ITR shocks but it don't handle well with no ARB I really thought I was onto a winner, but also the rears as you said before Andrew are the incorrect spring rate so it like to bounce, if you look closer you will see fronts higher than the back which never makes for good cornering or driving in general. I need to get round to fitting this new kit if it would stop raining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Have you got the DC2 LCA's then Jamie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimbob738 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Grant yeah they are the DC2 LCA's JDM hook and eye setup, like I said works well just without the ARB its a little too jumpy on cornering back end has a mind of its own. Hi Tom no its not a T5 its a 2.5 10 valve engine 144bhp and summot mad like 220nm torque it pulls well acceleration what you would expect from a coffin box but I bought it in a hurry just to get me down south to Eden project and our long weekend away in Cornwall for mine and missus 30th, as the Honda was playing silly b****rs. I now need to shift it, around town its like 20-23 mpg at best drinks petrol far more then the Honda normally a weeks driving to work and back Honda does 30 quid this is doubling that by Wednesday they fuel lights shinning bright. but had to get jeep on road and figure if I was keeping Honda which I am so the Volvo gotta go.

Jayhoath83 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 As for the rarb how close was it too fitting miles out or just a smidge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimbob738 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 As for the rarb how close was it too fitting miles out or just a smidge well with the DC2 bar fitting where our chasis has no holes to mount id say miles off, also the MG ZS one was mile out as it sits at the wrong angle would break the drop links over one good bump so I gave up and now I bought these Zeta-s shocks. I will be selling them if anyone interested like they fit the EG I think aswell. And tom no not a nice Volvo its thirsty, I wouldn't own a t5 they all been ragged and the MPG is terrible.
