That looks spectacular, i hope mine looks half as good as that when im finished lol.

Just out of curiosity, how much of an improvement handling wise does the new suspension set up make? and was it very expensive to get all the bits for?

Cheers Dan

Whole suspension (inc adj. arms and new bushes) cost me around £300, this one handles better than white Turbo ever did..

At SAM and KG-trimning they understand at least Swedish and English, not sure about Norsk, but on good day I have heard them understanding Finnish too, but that is probably just urban legend :lol:

What is diff ratio? Be careful that it won't bog when shifting 3rd as 2nd to 3rd shift causes quite massive rpm drop.
