    From the pics I'm assuming you shortened the knuckle steering arm.How did you know how much to cut off (dumb I know...)?Is there a way to calculate beforehand ?

    Thanks

    Hey! I've chopped it of and tried to see how much I could cut of. I think mine are 15mm shorter. You can try with the knuckle mounted after cutting and experiment. But I think this is pretty much it.
    The best way to do it is to build some kind of jigg where u can adjust. :) good luck :)

    [​IMG] rolled it outside. It's actually pretty much lower with the coils and 16" the it was before. Can't wait to get her up and running now. Just missing a few more parts :)

    Stock diesel in tank pump vs 255 copy. The stock one is actually bigger. 450 walbro is going in :)

    What else is needed to 'convert' the fuel system to petrol? New lines, filters and a good clean out?

    Mad respect for this, your regular substantial updates make this one of the best current build threads on here imo.

    Thanks :)
    I hope it's just a clean out. My car will get an e85 system so I expect the filters to need an early change from all the debris and residue in the lines. But apart from that I just hope it holds up. Will change parts when they break.
    What's wierd in the fuelsystem is that the tank got two main lines. Don't know why :)
