Damaged suspension has been repaired

Post by avandull »

I have fixed my Starion.
I damaged the frount and rear, left side lower control arms when I slid sideways, backwards into a bank while participating in the Highclere hillclimb. I was going too fast around a corner.
Now I have replaced the 2 bent control arms. Very pleased to have it up and racing again.

That impact on your car StazzyBabyYeah looks like it would bugger up your day. It does not look easy to fix.
I was very lucky to get away with so little damage. There were some big trees that I just missed on that corner where I crashed. The control arms are very bent but not much else.

Any idea on the hp? once you get the suspension mods done that should be a beast on the track, yea that starion is going to stripped for parts and a new one is on it's way, far to expensive to rebuild it for what it's worth

No Idea on HP. Must get it Dynoed one day. Never got around to it yet.
Im running the 4x 500cc fuel injectors at 75% duty cycle at 17 PSI of boost. So there might be 250HP at the flywheel. Unless Im just running it far too ritch. I dont Know.
