Also have replaced the front springs with the new stiffer ones, new track rod ends, new heavy duty balljoints, lower arms stripped and reinforcing plates welded in etc.

New clutch, master cylinder and slave.

I drove the car yesterday and it is totally transformed the ride, my previous Euro springs had started to collapse.....

Without certain people the conversion to manual wouldnt have been possible, several things all came together at once.

Cheers you lot, and a special mention to Chris N, the guy is one in a million we are very lucky to have him in the UK!

Yes, I'll get some done asap...raining on Sat!

The ride height at present is slightly higher than normal, but will settle down over next few days.

It has made a major difference to the drive, Chris N who has even driven countless DeLoreans commented himself on how well it drove.
