Just noticed you are missing a small piece of arch liner that covers the aux belt, it clips to that vertical bar at the back. only noticed as I was looking at this the other day:

This shows the strut @Ant_Smiggy

 

[Rubicon_]

Tempted to sell the new cup shocks and cooksports I've just bought for the track car and buy these! At £560 that's a bargain.

 

[Mr Plums]

I'm still waiting on your reply to remove your seat washers :wink:

Ive never got time working nights mate, im asleep most of the day 😧

Your toes are longer than the A1

This shows the strut @Ant_Smiggy

Take it, Its is the larger diameter part. Was looking at some calcs and piston diameters and when I took somes of @Apg100 we was trying to deduce what model they were.

Edit: these look like a totally different strut unit?

 

[incy-spider]

Yeah the second biggest bit, monstrous!

 

[ACS_Motorsport]

Yeah interesting. The bigger damper can give a better damping feel but can have sometimes have a negative effect on track when running without a piggyback/ remote oil reservoir as the bigger piston diameter gives a smaller oil cappacity, thats why for eg the sachs dampers have a reservoir. The oil can heat up faster and cause performance fade. Wander if that's why some people have slated these on track hmmm but im no expert lol only going of what ive been told in the past. As these predominantly get good reviews both road and track

 

[Apg100]

I'm pretty sure they are AVO, as when I've tried to find longer springs, all the diameters bring up there's as options.

 

[incy-spider]

Not sure that's what is happening with these, it's hard to explain but the reason they are such big diameter is because that part is the fluid part and the damper, the rod you'd normally see on other shocks is inside of the leg and bolted to the bottom, or did you know that?

Ahh would explain the AVO sticker on the back dampers lol i thought that was just a sticker someone had put on, I cant say ive ever really heard of them. Might do some digging haha :up: they had some beefy diameter piston too

Yeah I did buddy, sorry if it sounded like I was slating the bigger diameter I wasnt lol they are far more superior as they can transfer a much greater force. And typically the bigger diameter dampers have a much higher oil viscosity to compensate :up:

 

[incy-spider]

I'm with you!

 

[ACS_Motorsport]

Blimey nearly a grand a set @Apg100 :fearscream:

I'm with you!

:kissingheart:

 

[ACS_Motorsport]

Alsooooo just forgort these have a fixed damping rate too!! So less valves inside which im led to believe alows for more oil/flow

The rear shocks are really big too, they must have had oil capacity in mind when designing these!

 

[ACS_Motorsport]

Ahhhh man im jealous of you lot owning these :weary:

 

[dann2707]

So I've been for a drive out to work in Leeds, then to Harrogate to see the woman then back again and I've concluded that they need setting up properly! That will be tomorrow night.

I knew they wouldn't be set up and especially without those washers on I haven't given it hell but it feels really twitching and unbalanced, obviously!! So tomorrow's job after work again (sigh), is to measure the cup distance as how @incy-spider suggested and get them equal as best as I can as remember last night in my hungry, tired, coffee fuelled state I span one of the cups to loosen the coil when I discovered the top mount bolts has broken to release some tension and mustn't have got it equal in comparison to the other one. I'll get them equal as best as I can tomorrow and fit those washers.

 

[dann2707]

Also it's great to see loads of convo in my thread nothing more soul destroying than posting a big update for no one to reply at all haha

 

[George182]

Great project thread mate.

Plenty of banter which is excellent.

Lovely little motor too.

 

[incy-spider]

Yeah mate once you get your geometry reset it will be amazing, I took mine for a little settle in spin after doing mine, was like driving an old Lada!

 

[Apg100]

I didn't measure the diameter of the dampers, but the rear springs were just under 2inch (no idea why it's imperial measurements, I got it 48mm) and the front were 2 1/4 inch, so the dampers are obviously less than that

 

[ACS_Motorsport]

Woah my first car was a Lada haha 😂

Honestly no joke, Riva Select 1300 absolute drift weapon!! Still got it haha

 

[leedsboy]

Set it at a height you want it then get 4 wheel alignment done, should handle like it's on rails then.

 

[ACS_Motorsport]

Found a pic haha when I washing my car....slight Hijack but im sure all appreciate it

 

[JoeMarano]

Why the f**k do you have llamas running round??

 

[ACS_Motorsport]

pahaha I go through this every time lool they are Alpacas not Llamas 😂

 

[Gus]

All your toys in one pic, which one do you enjoy abusing the most :smile:

 

[Gus]

seriously, respect for keeping the Lada, looks pretty cool!!

 

[ACS_Motorsport]

seriously, respect for keeping the Lada, looks pretty cool!!

Sadly the Lada doesn't get much love and it genuinely is sad as it belonged to my Granddad who passed away and left me it. I would love to restore it to its former glory as it a cool little car! I learnt to drive in it! Mainly in a field drifting around a tree! And it was my first car I ever worked on! So there is some serious memories in that little lada! But because they were made our of metal that was already rusting when it left the factory the sills are none existent! There literally gone! Believe it or not I actually had an MOT on this and drove it on the road once upon a time

 

[tuningmeisterjj]

LOVE THE BILLIES!!!!! Wish I could get them 60mm bolt spacing!!

 

[dann2707]

@Ant_Smiggy you've done a gash job there with the cleaning, it's still f**king dirty hahaha

The alpaca's get me every time, no way can anyone take those animals seriously. Brought to this earth purely for comedy value??

I just zoomed in on that bit and pissed myself laugh, look at it strutting its hoof FLOL

Anyway, just got in from the pissing rain (making the most of the new lamp haha) as i've levelled out the coilys at the front, they were 6mm different from each other. Levelled them and raised them for the clutch tomorrow as apparently they might get some issues getting it on the ramp with it being that low. Greased them to f**k too with copper grease.

Also fitted those rear washers thanks to @incy-spider for the tips.

 

[dann2707]

@tuningmeisterjj you can get them in 60mm spacing!

 

[incy-spider]

LOVE THE BILLIES!!!!! Wish I could get them 60mm bolt spacing!!

You can mate!! I was sent a set in error when ordering mine

Excuse me I think you'll find that Alpacas do not have hooves but have toes, two on each foot to be exact 😂

 

[tuningmeisterjj]

Dont still have them do you!? Also you guys got a link for them!?!?!?!?!?

 

[ACS_Motorsport]

Tried to look for 60mm spacing on ze german site but even when I translated the page I struggled

 

[dann2707]

Excuse me I think you'll find that Alpacas do not have hooves but have toes, two on each foot to be exact 😂

Do they lay eggs?

 

[ACS_Motorsport]

Do they lay eggs?

No sadly not, although they are Pregnant for 12 Months

Fun fact of the day yaaaaaay

 

[tuningmeisterjj]

So no joy on the 60mm spacing then?

 

[dann2707]

Hahaha amazing.

@tuningmeisterjj these are the 60mm spacing ones!!
