which mods should be done in the suspension to make the car more stable but yet confortable (it's not for race, it's for street use)

Tay with normale springs but invest in a set off very good shocks

I have te 903cc engine regrind to 950cc and Abarth head and carburator with OMP exaust. I have KONIS installed in all wheels. The car is very steady with that setup.

Hi Guy. This does not make sense? To use a 124 pushrod motor in my 850 coupe, I need to reverse the 124 rotation (which I have done). Theefore, any 124 motor should turn in the same direction as a 600 engine. I know this works, because I have seen an Abarth with this done to it. The only problem with a 124 motor in a 600 though, is that it hangs out the back farther, and is heavier.

hallo guy,is it guy our Guy? Its now Guy here .I now this good because I did this in other way and fit a 2000 in a 850 chassis/gearbox .I am still looking for a PBS kit that was there but I wish to have one more .

Guy, you have a hillclimb 600 that had a 1300 128 engine.

Since the 124 engine is too big, Is the 128 engine a good way to get a lot of power into a 600?

Guy which shocks you recomend for me? spax? koni? other brand? front and rear? which references? Thanks

Hi I used to have a race car 600 and I really loved the KYB gasadjust shocks. Cheap too. Do you have A112 cars in portugal? I also Highly recommend that you change out the outside stub axles. Maybe Guy has a nice solution for you? If you look through the posts you will see many cars rolled with broken axles...

guy moerenhout · January 05, 2007, 08:52:49 AM

yes ,this is truth.I change the glidding part on shaft also to the wheelside(it fits direct)and make a lobro connection like on Simca 1000 coupe/berline) and the dident broke anymore in rallys

ChrisD · January 08, 2007, 10:27:41 AM

Guy, do you have a pic of that axle convertion or maybe a guide how to do it and what parts needed? Thanks

I am also interested in learning how to do this CV joint conversion.

Thanks,
Gil
