So yesterday me and my son Tom drove the 80 miles there and back to The Departure Lounge Italian Day. Car preformed faultlessly, A3, 55-70, but mostly under 60mph. Met a fellow Beta Appreciation FB page Vx owner Lloyd W and had a good old chat. On the way home stopped off to see a mates 1935 Lagonda.
So the good: it didnt catch fire or blow up, my quick and dirty car phone mount worked, it steered straight, the brakes worked well. Gears I am thinking I just need more practice.
The not so good/needs work: I dont thing suspension wise its all good. Back looks too high. I will do some measuring later. I dont like the front wishbone bushes so have a set of OEM looking ones from Ricambio International. I think first is the front bushes, maybe get it all tracked and see if the rear end settles down or look at maybe some Vx springs Mark said he had. Back to the bushes...
I never had OEM bushes fitted when I got the car. I had home made and cracked ptfe bushes. If I put std items back in I am missing the ring that I assume is a spacer so you get the right bush location? Anyone out there have one you could measure for me and I will get something made?
Suspension/handling: what can I check? Tyre pressures, ride height, tracking/setup, front bushes, anything else?
PS phone holder quick and dirty mount worked a treat. Thanks Eric
