Re: Lanos Solid Strut tops

Sorry for the delay the Bilstien front shocks had to be returned as they supplied the wrong ones and I have just now got a front set. This weekend I will fit the Bilsteins and take a heap of pics.

Re: Lanos Solid Strut tops

Yes will do I am waiting for the wheel alignment details for a before and after comparison for the OEM replacement. The suspension has to come apart again to fit the Bilstien Shocks before we get it aligned. I will do a list of parts I can make and supply as I make them plus a short how-to for the s...

Re: Lanos Solid Strut tops

Gse-turbo I assume you mean something like this. https://www.forgedperformance.com/store/images/P/KCA251M.jpg Yes I could but it wont be very cheap. I would have to make something like 10 sets to even make it worth my while. I will try to get time to do a quick write up of what I did on the weekend....

Re: Lanos Solid Strut tops

No the plate is to fit directly into a unmodified STD Lanos stut tower... which is a dificult oval shaped looking down from the top and not flat looking side on. I tried to find other universal strut tops off the shelf but the Lanos as a rather large strut top which is why I had to design and machin...

Lanos Solid Strut tops

I have been developing Lanos Aluminum Solid Strut tops for rally suspension... these can be used for motorsport or for standard road cars. I'm looking at expressions of interest to see if it's worth while producing any more than one set I have here. They are CNC Milled from a Aluminum billet and fit...

Re: Opel Kadett GSi Group A Rally Replica

Ok where to start. I have my box back together and in the car. What I can tell... well anyone who may care... is that my Quaife gearset uses F16 early type synchro's. Not saying Quaife are wrong (Quaife told me my F16 gearset is F10 and uses Synchro) at this stage but given my gearset has a differen...

Re: Opel Kadett GSi Group A Rally Replica

"Three steps forward and one step back" All looked good for next year... till a few days ago it started crunching 2nd gear to the point I just shift from 1st to 3rd.

Re: Opel Kadett GSi Group A Rally Replica

Sorry for not updating this for a while... After putting the engine back in the car I had to work through a few small problems as you always do. I added a second fan as I suspect this baby may need some extra cooling so I have one fan controled by the LINK Ecu and one by the temp sensor in the radia...

Re: Opel Kadett GSi Group A Rally Replica

Recently started the engine build after so many years the parts finally get put in their home. First off I had to machine the Z20LET oil pump to match the standard so the front backing plate behind the cam belt fitted correctly. http://www.ynet.com.au/images/oilpumpmod2.jpg http://www.ynet.com.au/im...
