Re: new type tensioner
Once converted to solid with a grease nipple to fill up never had another problem and got driven really hard.

Re: new type tensioner
Brett, Any chance you made more than one of those plates? That looks like a good solution for adjusting out belt stretch on the fly. I rebuilt the hydraulic tensioner and modified the inserted piece that the piston shaft goes through to take a sprung seal (I work for an Automotive gasket manufacture...

Re: Tired of replacing box mounts??-Barry
Brooks,
What do you mean filled with polyurethane? How do you get it liquid to then harden or are you talking making up inserts to put in the bush? I have seen this as it is a common modification here for Commodores (Pontiac G8) in their diff mounts.

Re: Turn In Oversteer Cure?
Thought I should provide an update on this. I disconnected rear bar and it removed the oversteer. So I set front bar to its stiffest setting but this made the whole front suspension a lot harsher but did balance the car out. So much so that in my favourite test bends I was able to vary between balan...

Re: Turn In Oversteer Cure?
Mats, I agree. "You need to playu around and get an understanding for what gives a certain result in handling characteristics" On Wednesday I am going to start by disconnecting the rear bar and seeing if that removes the oversteer. Then start by fine tuning the adjusment existing on the ca...

Re: Turn In Oversteer Cure?
Sorry yes the rear springs come from Pace engineering as well and are sold as a matching set to front torsion bars.
Will try disconnecting sway bar links.
The other reson I thought the rear bar might be too stiff is we had to make up custom links as initially it broke the supplied links.

Re: Turn In Oversteer Cure?
Thanks for reply Ride height is slight increasing rake front to rear of 10mm (measured on ends of sills) with about 130mm at the front chassis rail (ie below where lower wishbone bolts pass through). Height is due to draconian road rule enforcement dictating 100mm clearance of lowest point of vehicl...

Turn In Oversteer Cure?
I have an Alfa 90 V6 which I have just finished and my mate has an Alfa 75 Twin Spark. We both have the same suspension and both suffer from turn in oversteer. This is however not on initial turn in but in the next phase of the turn. We have different wheels and tires (both offset and width) which d...
