Handling/rear suspension
HI ALL:
After reading threads and speaking with builders of the 5exi, it appears that there is a fundamental design fault with the rear suspension on the early cars, of which I believe my chassis/suspension is!
Maybe even a dangerous design that should have been recalled to address!
I am sure Mark from Marlin will no doubt give his 20 year industry experienced view.
I see a few people have addressed this issue in various ways.
Has anyone thought/tried to modify a production car rear setup such as MGF/ MGTF?
I was thinking of using the uprights and modifying my wishbones, retaining the coil over shock set up if using the MGF.
And if using the MGTF the radius arms, lower arms and modifying the Marlin top wishbone. Again retaining springs/ shocks.
I could move the pick up brackets on my chassis as I intend to have it blasted and re powder coated as the factory light grey is so thin it has rusted before even seeing the rain!
Any thoughts from you experienced builders would be appreciated
TONY
