Help!

My Osravs have just died - I'm having some secondhand struts fitted, but my need for these coilovers has just accelerated

Any news?

Im in Turkey at the moment Nigel, will chase it up when Im back next week.

D2's listed on ebay ........... HERE!

You guys that have them, what do you think of them? I have had coil overs before but a long time ago and on an Integrale, I'm not a fan of Bilsteins and the few other kits available seem very expensive considering the price of the D2's.

That D2 kit doesn't have the adjustable top mounts

Highly tempting though

Jimbo - where are we with the UK Group Buy?

Nigel, I know there has been a bit of progress on the Gaz kits so you might want to chase that one up too. Speak to either sparco or suba.

The adjustable top mounts, should you want them are available.

I'm on the verge here, have we an idea of price for the set this thread is covering yet?

Guys, really sorry about how slow this is moving, I'm so busy with work at the moment that I haven't had time to chase it up.

I'm out of the country again on Monday for a month (I only got back at lunch time today !)

I'll pass the details over to Nigel (if thats ok with you Nigel) as he might be in a better position to follow this up.

I'm definitely in a better position to carry on with this than Jimbo, but I am not going to be able to give it much attention for some time. I'm working eleven hours a day for one job, then I start on my second job when I get home.

I'll do it if I have to, but if anyone is desperate for these, a volunteer to take it one would be most welcome.

one word of caution with these fan-dangled top plates Nigel, check that they KEEP the coops original Caster is still the same, as the coop will handle like a pi, irrespective of your CAMBER settings.

I only found this out ages ago, when, yes, I did put the two top mounts on actually back to front, which put the caster all over the shop, certainly confused Elite to no avail!

worth checking before you part with any cash, or else, you'll end up with a worse handling car on turn in

Kev (the guy building the kit) has asked for a complete front strut with spring and top mount so I guess all that will be taken care of Taz.

Just wanted add my name to the list of people waiting for more info.

Jimbo,

Can any of the proposed kits or variants of the kits be tailored into something which will provide superior road quality over a standard coupe?

Also, are the proposed top mounts going to be significantly stronger than the standard ones? They seem to be a weak point IMO.

Cheers

Scott

Is there anyone on here that has the capacity to spend the time to progress this GB?

I'm working stupid hours at the moment and I am certainly not able to pick up where Jimbo left off. Jimbo has even less time than me (at least I'm in the country!)

This suspension is soooo promising, it would be a shame to see it fall down because of a lack of commitment

I'll try.

Nigel can you forward the PM's from Jimbo onto me please?

Cheers

Matty - you have PM

Cheers.

Sorry guys, I've been rather busy of late. Right I need to supply Kev with shocks and springs from the rear, anyone got? I seemed to have lost/chucked out my old set up.

I got rid of my old standard springs and shox as well, but I can probably obtain a knackered set from Motormech if needed, but it would be a PITA to get them to you or Kev

Where is Kev based? If local I could leave my coupé with him for a week or so if that helps?

What an awesome offer.

I'll fire him an email tomorrow.

IIRC Apex and Kev are up near Bradford

In that case, 007 almost certainly won't be able to do it due to geographical location.

Depending when and how long they need a coop for, I may be able to "donate" mine for a couple of days (totally standard suspension setup).

Have you still got me on GPS? The injunction clearly says no spying on me.

It's been made clear to both of us that after the last GB we were involved in, it's best for everyone if we're not seen together.

I was drunk, I needed the exhaust. It'll never happen again!

Matty if Kev is in Bradford then that would mean I can't help but I can highly recommend Craig. He showed great commitment to the BF GB.

Guys, I think Kev has access to a coupe if he needs it, its the factory that need the dampers so they can have a good look, take measurements etc.

I'm sure country cruising (Joe) could supply the bits we need, I'll pay for them if needed or go halves with someone.

I'm actually back in the UK for 4 days now so if anything needs doing I can try and get it done in amongst the stress of buying a house and packing.

You know where I am if you need me.

Afternoon Chaps.

I'm holding off buying a set of much needed Billies, hoping that this GB will get off the ground....if there is anything I can do to help, please just let me know...



Cheers,
Ben.

Jimbo,

just reviving this one Are you still saying whilst the renewal of the top mounts for the Bravo ones have made a significant difference, they still are not as good as the LEDA gear ? I am almost at the stage where I need to remove all alloys for a refurb & was going to have mine either refurbed / simply buy a new set ( I suppose i can treat the car after 9 years ! )

cheers,

Taz

Just to put a spanner in the works guys i am nearly finished in the development of the Gaz race set-up (Suba has the road set-up) and i think between us we will have a very good option at a competitive price.

I will be at Snetterton on Oct 12th for the final round of Time Attack where anyone is welcome to have a look over where i am at just now.
