Hey Craig. There's a guy locally to me who's selling his "stock" '89 turbo. More horsepower and torque but also about 200 lbs heavier. But I'm gonna stick with my '88. More personality.
Having koni revalve some rear shocks meant for a Hyundai Scoupe. Supposedly bolts right on in. Keeping my fingers crossed. Unfortunately they can't be made externally adjustable. I'll just have to take 'em out to adjust. Hoping to have those on the car by the start of the summer series.
Trying to figure out if the 8610 race insert from Koni will fit the front shock cartridge. Only thing is, I can't find OEM stock shocks anywhere for measurements. I did grab some front shocks off an '88 Hyundai Excel which looks identical in size to the GR2's on my car. Wonder if Koni inserts would work with KYB GR2 housing?
I've already requested off for Nationals! This will be 3 years in a row for me and in a different car, different class each year. Craig, you gonna be back this year to win it all in STS "again"?
Vteck, I've got KYB gr2's in front and KYB gas-a-justs in rear. They were on the car when I bought it. But as I just mentioned, I'm working on upgrading shocks.
In the future, planning on getting a custom front sway made.
Will be ordering fresh V710's real soon as well.
BTW, here's a pic of our event this past weekend.
Notice how dirty the course was in first heat. See the other two cars already out on course? Staying tight on this turn threw me out a little wide. Every run I got fuel cut coming out of this turn. I was running over half a tank. Guess I better run a full tank?
Enjoy your day,
Van
