RE: Why didn't I do this sooner!!!
OK Alfred... :-) I'm gonna, had to make sure the beastess could handle the
pressure.... Now, where do I go for the magic? SJM? Ned? Do the Sprongl
boys (15 min drive) have something?
I've always believed in making it handle first and then add the power.
Shocks and tires are next on my agenda, from what I've been reading there is
still no definitive setup for this car.
My preference is 8 or 8.5 inch x 16 with 215/55. Will it fit? As you may
be able to tell I like the rim to stretch the tires outward to reduce
sidewall roll in hard (hiway ramp) cornering. I don't mind the extra
harshness in the ride but I can't afford to just go experimenting and no one
really seems to know what will fit my little beastess.
BTW I'm off to see a 1991 200TQ 20V FS this am, I hope it's a piece of junk
because the wife and I are going to have a serious talk if it isn't.
Just bought a house and looking at another car (Am I nuts?)
