Upgrade the suspension and brakes
Well, this is where the new project starts....the "bubble
Turbo"....
First thing is did was put my wheels on and very nice it looks
too..
I got hold of a full set of shocks and springs from a MG ZR160,
which gives a much firmer ride and lowers by 20mm...which will do for
starters...until I can afford to go coilovers.
Next on the list is brakes....or bigger ones.. a must for the
planned more power. MG ZR160 comes the rescue again. The fronts no problem, bolt
right on. the rears...slightly more tricky, due to having drums.... its just
different... So ZR160 rear stub axles bolt up and so do the disks. NICE.
