I think there are text recognition software out there that can turn scanned text into text that you could then copy and paste into a translator.

it's just a load of claptrap about how you can convert your eurobox into a street racing rally monster using a selection of easily found scrapyard parts and items found around the home - total cost under £20 or your money back. Nothing that you'd be interested in...

[Adey aka Ewok]

Lol cheers peeps, stiffer suspension and vented front disk for the euro box, yes please

[Sparkie]

its not the stiffer rear suspension thing on the mark 1's where you shorten the rear shocks. then fill the rear of the car with bags of sand and as the shocks poke through the body you then fit the top nuts.
this preloads the shocks....

[Adey aka Ewok]

What you just said means nothing to me sparkle lol. I mean reducing the body roll rather than firming the shocks up?

[Sparkie]

thats exactly what im talking about.

the torsion bar suspension stiffens up as the bar rotates - i.e as the wheel goes into the arch.

if you were to somehow remove that initial little bit of rotation, then the suspension would be stiffer for the rest of the travel.

you can achieve this using the method i described above. - shorten the damper and use that to 'pre load' the torsion bar with a little rotation. - this means the back instantly becomes stiffer. - less roll etc etc

I know what you mean Sparks, Ewoks are a bit retarded...

Spooky you can so this, lol I've not looked at the dampers and how to shorten them

cut and shut unfortunately.

[Adey aka Ewok]

so i couldn't just get thicker anti roll bars?

[Sparkie]

yes you could..... only at the front though - turbo 2 ones maybe? the rears i dunno if they made thicker ones?
