Viper, Cortina rear suspension.

[Dixie]

Just got the Viper back from my "Suspension Guru", feels alot better on the front end now that he has got the correct camber/castor and toe. He did say that he thought the Corti front end was very good, but still has mis givings about the rear axle set up. He said it is fine for every day use, and isn't dangerous at all, it just needs to be "understood" and accepted for what it is and the limitations it will present.

It was quite good though to hear from an expert that the car is mecahnically sound and has been built well.

I have to say, had I done a bit more research instead of letting my heart rule not my brain, I may of saved up a few more quid and brought a Dax or other Cobra, but since I have a good Viper, I will try and improve it best I can and live with it's "little" problems.

I wouldn't have thought those would be strong enough for a Cob as is, but something based on the idea may be an option rather than trying to get the full rear subframe in.

As i said - A start.....Or not........

There are many ways of skinning a cat so to speak (not that we want a thread on that!) but necessity is the mother of invention.

And vipers are the Cobra from hell

Well it feels like it some times.
