[danny69]

also if u dont mind me being cheeky but at that low what sort of angles r ur tca's at?

 

I love this car and the ride height, but i remember when my capri was lowered 2 3/4" at the front and my TCAs were angled slightly upwards which isn`t ideal, so I guess these would be too, perhaps more so.

 

Nice shos Lee

Looks great, but I can't help but wonder what the rides like everytime I see it

Cheers for the comments.

 

As for the ride quality I think its fine - although maybe i've just grown use to it!

 

Obviously speed bumps and large pot holes need to be taken with care, but the car is fairly long and that helps to avoid the "choppy" ride that many shorter wheel base cars can suffer from. Also the tyres are 205x60's which may have been considered "low profile" back in the 70's or early 80's but when compared to todays rubber bands make for a nice smooth ride. It is a bit of a toy and therefore I can put up with it not being practical all the time but that said it has been used on some fairly lengthy journeys ie. North Wales, Cotswolds and Le Mans and it was perfectly comfortable.

 

I never intended the car to be as low as it is - that was due to me being too clever at the time - but I like the look and although it is probally not the optimum ride height it has never felt wrong.

 

It does rub on full lock but that is about it, I have been in cars that have suffered at lot worse due to oversized rims.

Mate, not generally a fan of Mk2 Cappers, but that is absolutely spot on

omg this has to be the best mk2 i have ever seen!. just stunning.

[Lee-Mk2]

Since posting the pics I have tried to sort ot the front bumper a bit.

It has been bothering me for a bit but after i posted the pics I realised just how wrong it was. I think it is better although still not right

I have taken notice of other Mk2's recently and it seems very few look right.
