The coil-overs were fine for the speedster as the front end really needeed softening and braking/ride was definitely improved. Just have to come up with a better method of locating the trailing arms. Concerns have also been raised about putting the whole weight through the lower shock mount...

Time for project number 3!

If you haven't seen on my website, I am on to my next project now.
It's a late 1303 cabrio and I am in the parts collecting phase.

So far I have only fitted the kerscher struts





and test fitted the cup 2s

Yes, it's a WRX RA model that is 260bhp standard should suffice!

What are your plans for a transmission, ECU, engine mounting? I've got an EJ20T too, but I think I'm going to hold off installing it for quite a while.

Have you seen this yet? http://www.customoffroad.com.au/partFull.asp?partid=99

Ricola,

If I can finish my Manx in the next few weeks, I will plunge into my 79 convert that I am going to install a 2004 US STi engine on a 930 trans. I have the Kerscher struts already on and the rear MBT coil-over set. I also have a set of Porsche GT3 radiators and A/C condensers for the front. Which trans are you going to use this time?

We seem to run parallel courses. My Manx got the Red9 setup after I read about your Speedster. So if you would stay about two months and several thousand $ ahead of me and then I can continue using your solutions.

Thanks,

Randy
