Title: 131 Racing back from the MOT test Post by: 131Steve on February 02, 2014, 09:06:39 PM Collected the 131 Racing on Saturday morning with a fresh MOT :) A bright, sunny & dry day to take the 131 for a spin.
The road springs have been changed for re manufactured original spec ones - thanks to Phil and Kev for the contact details of the company that make them. It's gone from a bone shaker to quite comfortable...not too soft though ;) With the really hard springs replaced the 14's have gone back on with two new wheels that I found on that ebay. Little bit of welding on the back box so I can keep the twin tail pipes. Just need to sort out the..... heater head lining spare wheel boot lock clock alternator ...... ...... ......

Keep at the list and you'll have a great car at the end. And chance of seeing her at M2M13140? :) Title: Re: 131 Racing back from the MOT test Post by: jasonh131 on February 03, 2014, 10:41:10 PM An other one out an about at the weekend ,a peach

I see what you mean Phil, the original spec springs really do make surprising difference. Pleased you like it Dave - happy memories Hi Kev, with the new springs I can have my 14's back :) I'll keep working on the list....always a job or two to do on an Italian Sports car ;) I'd like to go to M2M13140, I got the ferry over and drove a 131 Sport from Wexford up to Donegal back in the 90s so it would fun to do it do it meet everyone. Will have to check the piggy back ;) Good to see Goldy out for a run Jason :) |
