Re: FS SYD: GPX Misc parts and spares
@ Phil and his special tools
Re ride comfort I've never driven these on the street , but I never noticed them as being a harsh ride on the racecar, and even though I'm driving on race track bitumen, if you've ever been to WP or EC you'd know they are both pretty bumpy, especially when you bounce it off ripple strips on a regular basis lol. And I'm running a very rigid race seat with minimal padding, no comfy drivers seat for me
So no I never found them harsh but I did find they offered very good control, I was very happy with these in the racecar performance wise.

The special tool I use is my fingers I twist the adjustment screw under the bonnet, hard/soft.shadowarrior wrote:I loved Phil's setup...it was fully adjustable, and was as comfy and soft as sitting on shocks. He just adjusts it to be tight with this special tool when he wants to hit the twisties.
I don't own a 'C' spanner to adjust the spring rate, its adjustment is just left where it is.

Re: FS SYD: GPX Misc parts and spares
yay I can pay you direct to your bank account.
One quick question, are they jap spec or aus spec? Also, do I have to worry anything about the legality of installing them? Like do they need an engineer's certificate or something?
I will pm you later tonight after having a chat with the finance manager

Pretty sure they'll be jap spec. No idea about legality, you'd need to speak to Qld transport or someone.shadowarrior wrote:yay I can pay you direct to your bank account.

Re: FS SYD: GPX Misc parts and spares
lol yeah but that was essentially a single solid bar. This has boots, seals, arms, no doubt still has some fluid in it.
Maybe Daniel can pick it up for you

It's not something that can be sent by post, for starters it will be too long.
I'll have a look on the weekend and get back to you.
