Drove the car on the track on sunday, the front suspension felt quite a bit, rear is stable but we had to adjust the struts a bit softer.




At the moment the rubber is touching the fenders, it's 2cm too low, we'll fix this soon. Driving ability is incredible better, the car is more stable on the road.

Which one you didn't get, the front or rear?


Raymond,
Do you have more info on the part numbers on the Konis you got?
Is it front 8241-1079 Sport and rear 8241-1121 Sport?

Bushings are available from the lambo factory.

Thanks Raymond, are you happy with them now ? Mine are still Ok but I want to take them off to get them painted but not sure whether it would be cheaper to buy new ones anyway.

Did you ever get those blanking nuts in for the cylinder heads air compressor pipes ?

Yes, got these nuts last week, I forgot to mail you...

The car is much more stable on the road than before, it behaves now like a GoKart, have a look on my website and compare the pictures of the Adria Race Track with those of the Track event on the 9th October, huge difference...

The swiss Koni dealer said it's no problem to get them, I will ask on monday about the delivery or if I was the lucky one who got the last...
