the noise is awesome if a little quiet, they lack in DV type noises as std, not sure how to get round this. Making progressin the dry is easy, but theyre very safely setup, quite forgiving. In the wet obviously theres less grip, but tbh with 225bhp in 1500kg, theyre still pretty tame. As for fitting...

in my experience, girls have more accidents, but generally theyre small, th cars still driveable, and no one gets hurt (car park dings, hitting wheelie bins and pish like that) blokes on the other hand manage impeccably for years but when they do have an accident its BIG

nope, looks awesome! seems a shame to get rid of one of the 360s prime advantages, but the porr trasmission just cant cope. When you go in for that level of modification it really doesnt matter what shell you start with!

tyre size options

I know a lot is dependant on ride height and tyre cross section, but what sizes have people had on 360s running the correct offset and at what ride height? 185/60 14s came as standard, so 195/45 15 should fit, and Id imagine 195/50 would too. Whats the widest the rear arches will take? what about th...

so to confirm, it is only the bolts that need ground down the the bare minimum, and then the casing ground for clearance, the crownwheel and pinion line up, the original drive flanges and everything else fit fine?

limited slip diff options

Sorry to start a new thread, I just didnt want to bump the older ones, particularly those full of rubbish. We have already ascertained that OE 300 series diffs are rare beyond being worth any further discussion. I believe no one as yet makes a diff to fit directly, although quaiffe would for enough ...

the 2.3 turbo engine in its various guises came in the 760, 940 and 960 didnt it? Whats the story with the 940 LPT unit?

Also, any gen on the post 94 immobilisers in 900 series cars, how hard does this make transplants?

Cheers
