Well basicly i was just wondering what the standard and the racing share with parts i am aware the clutches are the same but not sure on other things such as the drop links and i presume that with the wider track the bottom arms are longer as well as the hubs being different? Please help if you can as i dont no much about these cars
Cheers joe

They share loads of parts but you need to be more specific mate.

That's part of the reason i bought one, they are very special but have reasonable to good running costs if you can do a bit yourself?

I've had mine for about 4yrs now and still love it. only use it in summer like.

I am a mechanic so i will do it myself and was just wondering on the droplinks on the antiroll bar/suspension if they are the same as a normal pumas only a bit confused because of the wider track and different suspension i think the hubs and wishbones are different am i correct ?

wishbones were welded up and extended
driveshaft 'bar' is longer
Knuckle is standard but the damper entry is machined for more -camber and bigger hole for Eibach to fit

roll bar and links standard
top mount rubbers standard (pivot bearing also)

all the info is in the technical area... 8)

Regards
Chris
