Re: My Piazza 2 - UK edition

Yeah I agree the forum does allow you a little more detail, I think for me it helps me remember what I've done and how far the car has come as I sometimes forget how much fun it's been when it takes 45mins to put a new licence plate on the front because every bolt snaps and the the rivets in the pla...

Re: My Piazza 2 - UK edition

Yeah, I may go down the manual route but we'll see maybe the auto box just needs a good service. I need to talk to the IPTOC as I'll need more parts in a little bit I'm nut sure how bad axel groans should get but I suppose I should look at bearings the new (old) diff was of unknown origin so it coul...

What I will probably do is start collecting parts for a standalone ecu along with other performance parts. I would like to stick as close as possible to lookin...

Re: Suspension Specs.

Yeah I did get a set of escort lowering springs for the rear from one of the other piazza guys but they weren't captive with the spax shock I have. They ended up getting custom made shorter shocs from Gaz in the UK to solve the issue. I struggled to find shims of the correct dimensions as I was thin...

Re: My Piazza 2 - UK edition
