Thanks for the information about the Spit/GT6 conversion, folks. Your comments
really clarified the issue for me, as I knew they would.
One more thing ... regarding my ı74 Spit leaf spring. Iıve got what seems to
be a little too much negative camber and sag in my rear end (insert your joke
HERE), and my LBC guy suggests a leaf spring replacement is in order. Given
that the spring is probably the original 23 year-old part, Iım inclined to
believe him. There isnıt a lot of clearance between my tires and the rear
wheel arch (a condition that probably accounts for the way the car ŞbucksŞ when
making a slow, tight turn), and the inward tilt at the top of the rear wheels
is pronounced. But before I dig into a spring replacement job, are there
other potential causes I ought to rule out first?
And by the way, Doug Mitchell wrote that Şno one uses a radio in a LBC,Ş but I
gotta say, my car just wouldnıt be the same w/out its CD player and Infinityıs
in the rear well!
