Filip's GTV TS Clubsport project

[Filip 124]

Ah! I always bring a cardboard box with me when driving. Just to take up space so that my missus don't have room to join!

But I love the sound of the early TS! Reminds me of my dads GTV That I learnt how to drive in!

 

Pfff... Gotta get my 10W-60 oil and some other stuff from A to B, don't I?

Ohh...and I that thought it was some sort of dynamic weight balancing of the car.

Naah...! The 20 kg emergency tool kit in the trunk, on the other hand, is great for balance

Maybe the reason why your car leans backward.

What's up  ...........just a thought.

Not so great...

TS is close to 50/50 distribution already...

Pant flaskor och burkar!

(Recycle bottles and cans)

7000 and you have yourself FK coilovers

Naah...! The company we know (I do not mention the name so Thanos don't  get grumpy  ) has a simple solution to the height problem, the one we talked about in ALFADUDENs thread.

Only solution is INTRAX.

Cost 2000€ though!

    Go for it !.. Filip needs your FK coilovers.

[Filip 124]

Please change yours and sell them to me at a poor Swede rate

[Alfaduden 226]

I have seen now that KW offers coilovers to V6.... Hmmm Wanna buy mine Filip? 5000,- and they're yours! I'll bring them to next trackday meet in Sweden!

Ooh, interesting! PM coming your way

Filip be aware that the wheel upright differ between TB and TS so TB front shocks will not be a straight fit,  M10 holes needs to be drilled (M12 on TB) with different spacing between the holes than what the TB have, the mounting bracket on the shocks that fits

the wheel upright are 25mm wide on TS and 35mm wide on TB so 2 x 5mm spacers need to be made.

Thanks for the detailed info!

I knew the uprights could be a problem but I was hoping it would be slightly easier to solve than this

[Alfaduden 226]

No need to drill new holes. Just put a 2mm sleeve round the 10mm bolt through the mounting holes

True dat!

According to GTV-TB, the spacing between the bolt differs too.

[GTV-TB 315]

Hi Filip, I was not quite sure if I remembered correctly   (long since I touched a TS) so when I got home I measured up a TB shock absorber I had laying around.

 

The measurements is not exact but close enough for you to be able to determine if it differs in bolt spacing.

 

Distance between bolt hole centers: 74mm

Distance between the upper bolt hole center and the center line of the shock absorber: 50mm

Distance between lower bolt hole center and the center line of the shock absorber: 65mm

 

Measure your shock absorber and you should be able to determine if ALFADUDENs proposal of using sleeves will work.

 

 

[Filip 124]

Thanks!! Great work. I'll measure mine as soon as I get a chance After Easter, that is...

[Filip 124]

An hour of construction:

Here's a prototype of my new intake mount

I'm thinking I could skip the lower mount and save some weight?

[GTV-TB 315]

Cool...a Biltema bracket that have been used?
