KiNK43 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 What improvement did you see with the extended ones out of interest? I understand they keep the lower arms at a better angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 It noticeably lowered the front, and made the front end feel much sharper. Felt less able to point it into a corner when they came off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Sweet. Next time ill try a set aswell. Really looking forward to seeing your car come back to life now. Gonna be amazing. Any idea on timeframe yet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 Cheers man. No, not for getting it finished. Think it'll be a bit of a slow burner, but they're going to get cracking this week at the first stage of getting the underside all sorted. I've got skunk lcas, an h brace, beaks bar, and adjustable camber arms for the rear that I never got around to getting on tubs as well, so I'm hoping that the handling is going to be sweet. Thinking about getting the koni shocks refurbed while they're off as well. Had new eibach springs for the mot that never was a few months ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_broon Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 Some pics from today's visit. All cleaned up and primed. A few spots of welding to do, but nothing serious. Going to go for a more original style underseal, instead of the raptor seal as that seems to be quite a rough bumpy finish. Been sorting out which bits need powder coating, and what needs swapping off the old shell. Also took some tegiwa rigid subframe collars down, and found out that I need Couple of engine mounts as the ones on tubs were shot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Wow, that really is mint under there eh!! What a superb shell mate, Tubs is gonna be around for a very long time! Got DD booked into the wee village garage next week to see what the hell the clunking/rattling noise is coming from (we think) the rear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
