the custard torpedo

[Retro-gone.]

is the new nickname for my car

 

it goes like shit off a stick , im well impressed

with it, i had it fine tuned by the local oldskool mechanic today and hes got it bang on, even he was impressed with the power, when that 2nd choke kicks in and i floor it it takes off like a pissed off wasp..

it has a lovely smooth tickover to boot, doesnt smoke at all , absolutely love it, altho i know it wont catch you big boys with the tuned 2.1 pintos (and some crossflows) its quick enough for me

just one problem, its so lively now that i need to improve the handling, its all over the road at the mo , specially in damp weather.. what ive done so far is, new steering rack & bushes , new track rod ends, new track control arms , coilovers, altho ive fitted new bushes they are the stock rubber ones not polys..

so can i have some sensible suggestions to get a better handling car without spending a ridiculous amouny of money please chaps

im seriously thinking of 15" wheels with modern tyres for a start, will that contribute to better handling?

what else?
