Why have you gone for different diameter wheels front and rear ??? Title: Re: WANTED: Track control arm. Post by: parrish on May 24, 2009, 02:23:37 PM Hi Simon,
ive always said that my idea was to make the car look like what i want it to look like rather than clone an Abarth, hence the roof and rear spoiler. Ive always liked the 'Thunder Sport Saloon' look hence the large rear and small front wheels, notice also that the front wing corner to lower spoiler are blended in and are rescesed as opposed to being proud. Ive a larger pair of front indicators to fill those indicator reseses up as well, just need time to get them fitted, roll cage comming which will be fitted with the interior remainig as original as possible, also an oil cooler which is long over due.

Post by: TOAD on May 24, 2009, 02:48:36 PM Hi Steve, car looks very nice wish I had one, with the front high you will get under steer and high speed instability problems especially in cross winds.
Just put some stickier tyres on the front to compensate for the size difference, I had 225x15 medium compounds REAR and 210x15 softer compound on the front to give the tyre more room to turn in the arch Regards Roger.................

Post by: parrish on May 25, 2009, 05:33:59 AM Thanks for the links Kev,
i think i may have mis-described the item im looking for. I need the arm that goes fro the rear lower floor pan to the rear axle, is it known as a Radius arm maybe? or link arm, theirs one on each side and they locates the axle to the body with a bush at each end I dont have my Haynes manual with me.
