    the right westfield with a few choice mods is an excellent choice though , i know a very quick old pinto engined car . i will admit that mine in those last pictures had had heavy investment and was done much later when i was doing a little better on the wages front ;)

    suspension for minor track days

    there is more to it than the cones being boring , the damage from airfield to cars is far higher , and as for keeping caterfields at bay in the wet , not when we are about squire , (unless your in a 4wd car of some sort ) as i ran formula ford wets :) and change my setup for the wet which never...

    there is some good stuff out there but people are not willing to pay for the decent stuff (niton have a decent set of dampers for the clio) and they are not even what i deam expensive when it comes to a decent set of coilovers . then it needs setting up right .
