Re: starion discs on gh struts?

discs and calipers should bolt straight on, they do on scorps, i know that for sure. all starions were vented. very popular brake up grade.

Re: Air/Fuel meters

i have a narrow band one in my scorp, just to let me know what the cd175 is doing, it does the job for me, a mate of mine has a wide band one with data logger built in. it a tuning setup, we are thinking of running it in the car to see how she is going and how the tune is.

Re: Steering help

from what i have read and when i have pulled cars apart. GH to GJ are matching in the steering department. you just have to replace with new box and a longer steering coloumn which will be on the parts car. might even pay to replace pitman arm as well as they wear with time.

Re: Rotation Strut top mount

that is fair, when i swapped mine around and put them on the alignment machine the operator couldnt get any more than 1.5. so to get more you would prob need adjustable strut tops maybe?? or if u get it done at pedders they bend the front struts slighty. alot of people do it. i havent.

Re: Making a scorp handle beta, what have u done??

i just put some king low springs in and it was lowerd by 50mm, when i jack it up no problem with them dropping. i reckon it will prob stay as it is unless someone makes some superlows for scorps. mine is all mod plated and all legal so im going to try and keep it that way.
