DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

I drove my car to Red 9 Design in Worksop on Saturday. I was meant to take it on the Thursday before, but on starting it up I discovered that the spin I had at Christmas had damaged my front oil cooler and oil started pi$$ing all over the garage floor! So I've taken off the oil cooler and joined the pipes together now I've just got to clean the garage floor
I had a good blast up the A614 to Worksop a cuppa with Simon & Trevor at Red 9 and left it with them, Simon dropped me at the train station in Worksop & I had a educating trip back to Nottingham on the Robin Hood line but that's another story
I've rang them today to see how they are getting on and the front end is all stripped and ready for the new parts. They are going to put photos on their blog http://red9products.blogspot.com/
Rich's car is on there too from Dub Freeze at the weekend.
So I'll keep you all posted

Had a chat with Simon and Trevor at the show, they said they were ready to start yours Ian.

Hope your as happy with the outcome of the conversion as l am.

What's going to happen Ian?

Hi Rich, Simon said you had had a chat with him. I had all my parts yellow zink plated apparently it less harsh than galvanising so I've been told. Was it any good at the show?

Hi Mark, I'm having Red 9 suspension on every corner of my car to make it handle better check out http://www.red9design.co.uk/type1.htm

Sorry for the not very good quality of these photos Red 9 took them and they are on their blog













Just tyres to fit and test

IRS and IFS!

Some nice kit can be had these days.

Don't forget the rack too

You'll miss all that negative camber look on the rear.

Nige, I might miss the look but I won't miss the saving in tyres

Looks very

Ian that looks the rather nice should make a real difference to your car.

Will be interesting to hear you opinions on before & after

Those wheels ... tart They do look good though

Make sure you check how the rear uni-ball rod end is attached, in case you get work done in the future and it is removed. Being a single shear bolt (with loads of vibration), I'd expect either a nyloc nut, lock wire or threadloc is used.

the negative camber look is so under rated



if anyone needs anything collected from / dropped off to red 9, we're up there every month or so as amies mum lives in retford

Ive been thinking of doing this for a while now. Would be really interested to hear how happy you are with the new set up when its back on the road

Regards
