Ok here's one out of left field .... now that there are so many suspension parts available thanks to the Ricer crowd ... has anyone tried converting a 122 to Coil Overs? I am just getting into SOLO Competition and was just pondering what I could do suspension wise to make myself more competitative .... last run I had the slowest time of all the cars :-( .... 78 profile tires were no help and a set of GumBalls are in the future. My car already has had the complete IPD suspension treatment with BIG bars and Poly Bushings all around .... I KNOW that the tires are going to make a HUGE difference ... the difference with the same car and driver on the last runs was 6 seconds slower on the same course on the street tires on a Honda Civic ..... 6 seconds would have put me right in the middle of the pack. So what do you think ? By the way .... even though I was slow.... I had a BLAST .... and isn't that what it's all about ?

You can have a look at a couple of my runs at http://www.ecvintagevolvo.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=88

Enjoy

Brett
