Wookie. Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 So here it is the one you've been waiting for the MB2 First of all got the centre console with armrest, clear side repeaters and rear anti roll bar from a Rover 416Decided to make a custom grill for the frontcleaned the engine bayStuck some 100+ multispoke alloys on with some tasty 195/50/15 Eagle F1 GSD3'sGot front and rear strut braces on which made it a bit sharper, putting the Koni Str.T dampers soon along with the adjustable camber arms. Slowly getting there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexter Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Looking smooth , good pics. Are the side repeaters from a Rover also? I've been thinking about getting rid of the orange ones on my Aerodeck but don't know yet where to get clear ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookie. Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 Cheers all I had the first real chance to drive it today going to Glasgow and back round the twistier roads What a difference in handling compared to it stock. Back end is super smooth now with the arb and brace on, front end is a lot more direct again the brace makes a difference although I do think the eagle f1's make a biiiiig difference in the overall feel of the car Stock springs and dampers are far too soft.Not much under the bonnet but I'll make sure it goes round a corner properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Sounds like a big improvement mate. Those G/Y f1's are amazing like, best grip ive ever seen from a tyre.Where abouts in scotland are you, as theres a silver mb looks like yours in my area now lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie. Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 Had the F1's on the R33 for 5 years and couldn't fault them Lasted 20 laps at the ring without wearing out which was awsome Pimpin it in the Denny/Falkirk/Stirling area lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie. Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 Bit of a suspension update. been a while coming but got round to it Went for the Koni STR.T kit, read a bit on the other thread about them being good if not a bit lower at the front than the rear. Anyhoo took an hour and a half to do with a full front brake change in that time as well Koni'sRear onFronts onBrake changeNew ride heightIt does sit a lot lower than it used to but the difference in ride quality and cornering is night and day Glad I got them just need to get some poly bushes and the whiteline caster kit and it's sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
