Little makeover for the '79

[16v_kid]

The camber on the wheels is meant to increase grip while going through corners....good for two wheel action

The car already has a rear sway bar, but we also have an after market one 28mm from Autotech with poly bushes etc.

Yeah, should be a great zippy car. Hoping to get it on the track in a month or two, but we will see how we go. Still waiting on valves from Supertech. They were having some supply issues but they are slowly trying to overcome that problem. Due to dispatch by the end of the month. Hopefully they make it in time.

Where did you get that gear from?

[16v_kid]

Balljoints were from the States, PMW. Great service too.

Adapters were of eBay. UK. But the seller doesn't ship to Australia. Had to get mine sent to a mate of mine in UK, to send them down here.
