Shiny Bits

The photos above are some new toys for the bomb factory 128 - Coil Over Konis and Quick Rack and Pinion

The Konis are freshly rebuilt items that have had a previous life in a hot rod SCCA Autocross Yugo - as full coilovers they eliminate the rear transverse spring - spring rates are in the filling shaker catagory - 650# rear 400# or 500# front - the camber plates are custom jobbies and there are some very simple but very trick thrust bearings inbetween which will help my puny arms somewhat!

The Rack asembly is compliments of the White Horse Blitz racing club founder in the UK (Blitz are a 126 based off-road racer) and is probably the last one in captivity (maybe) it features a 6 tooth pinion which gives 20% or so faster ratio -

The whole project is taking on a UN flavour.... wonder if I can get any french bits in the car -anyway - the budget got a hammering and consequently completion is either a way off or closer depending on how I look at things

Next item on the list is the roll cage... after I have done some bogging :-)
