Re: rear springs

I had KYBs and they were back breakers - awful. Changed to Bilsteins with standard springs last April. Changed the car remarkably - feels like it can corner 10mph quicker, but maintains a compliant ride. Best improvement made to the car bar none, IMHO. Got Bilsteins and springs from Rexbo.

Re: 73 1.7 performance question..

I have a 1.8 on original fuel injection. Use the rev range and it is fine. My exhaust is more free flowing than standard so that may help. But the best thing I’ve done is change suspension to Bilstein shocks and replacing original springs at rear. The car is now a heap of fun, not so much straight l...

Could be a solution for you to keep your collection all in one place...planning permission sought to build one in your back garden?!
