It will be getting the suspension properly set-up at some point. Caster, camber and toe are all out, and would like it to handle like a mini should. I still think the metro drive flanges have caused some positive camber though. :/ Thanks for your response. It was annoying me quite a bit.

Why don't you have a go at setting it up yourself? Because I was messing with my ride height every five minutes I decided to give it a go. A couple of tape measures, a digital level and flat, level ground and its transformed my handing.

I would rather take it to a mini specialist, such as Bill Richards, to set it up properly. :) If it was just toe in/out I would do it at work, but I can't set caster or camber accurately.

My hilo's are wound right down and my new cones still have a 2" arch gap, someone tell me it'll settle?!

some of those new cones are not made correctly and lift the car miles to high, I had the issue with the ones from p&l minis before took them off in the end.

My new cones have never really fully settled, as above I've heard a lot about more recent cones making the car sit too high. Hopefully yours will after a while tho.

If you owned a Mk1 Corsa, why would you remove the Vauxhall badge and replace it with a Ferrari badge?

-
Anthony30
Why not? It's a genuine 300BHP increase.

It's to disguise the corsa
remember some are limited edition -
only 1000000000000000000000000000 were ever made

I know of someone booked for changing the badge on his car
He put a seat front end (panels) on a VW Van
and was told to remove - he didn't , so was booked for it
