Hello, I was pointed this way from RetroRides, Here is my pretty standard
'89 R5 GTX. With a throbbing 1.7 engine and what is essentially a piece of scaffolding for an exhaust.
Alright tob123, Removing the two centre boxes and swapping over to 2.5" bore all the way has made quite a difference, that F2N engine is not X-flow, so any halp it can get breathing is going to be appreciated. I have a Weber carb rather than the solex too, which helps. I would like to drop in a Volvo turbo engine rather than the 16v, keep it retro.
The car is now lowered about 60mm all round.
thanks for the info gonna get a bit of scrap pipe to remove the center boxes sometime then maybe go for 2.5 system e.t.c.
60mm drop sounds good!! :mrgreen: you might need camber correctors tho?
been thinking about dropping mine, it sits a little to high in the arches for my liking.
then an engine swap sometime aswell, but not for a while yet.
