well, I've tried anyway (fitting for Gamma but would equally suit Beta)
units came from a subaru WRX STI (had to lay out £25.00 for a s/hand set)
-
That looks fairly close to the beta rears.
Oh hang on.....you've added the bottom lancia fittings to the scooby units haven't you?
-
Yes, seemed the easiest/cheapest way to get what I wanted, they'll be seam welded before use.
-
Great work. Did you just use guesswork for the sizing of the scoob units or were they just at the right price? 25 quid is seriously cheap!!
-
I sort of reasoned that as the Subaru used a similar engine and was a similar weight
that the units would be close enough to the Gamma, then I decided that at £25.00
there was no great loss in "aving a go" I knew the s/hand units had blown inserts
but still £25.00 for Cusco adjustable coilovers well........ ;D
-
well, suspension now installed
cusco/gamma struts, golf front inserts, cavalier rear inserts (actually cavalier fronts fitted to gamma rear)
-
and now :-

Well this is how it looks now :

Clever stuff... looks fantastic.
