Yes it is a cossie engine Here is my rolling road report Its a bit more powerfull now due to more boost and nitrous Got to love the cosworth engine That's mental!! Don't suppose you have a copy of the feature when it was in Retro so I (we) can have a read? Here is a link to the retro mag feature http://www.triumphowners.com/alg1k.pdf AND a bit of a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9VciqTPCMI

This example needs a unique solution, i'm reasonably clued up on chassis dynamics but i'm far from God so even i seek enlightenment in certain situations. My "mentor" offers reasons but not realistic solutions other than weight distribution indexing?............... I'm ok with that but i feel the solution will belay the goal and hinder the car's intentions. I can see this is going to be complicated I dont mind if i have to cut the car about abit or change things I have owned it since 1983 and dont mind how long or how much £ it takes to get it right So i need to get the corner weights done to see what i have Probably some new remote res shocks ? of decent quality valved correctly ? I was thinking some of these Nitron NTR Track double adjustable dampers Some decent quality springs ( i currently use Faulkners ) Progressive ?? This is all i can think of to do so far

I see that.... But the problem then was diagonal loading during transition, plus castor sweep was a mystery in those days. The images of your car are under thrust application, do you agree with that? Yes it does seem to happen under accelerating out of tight corners Could the rear suspension be set up too soft ? Yes..... roll centre couple could be way off.... That's why i'm concerned about the removed sway? How can i check this All of the Racing Dollies had the rear anti roll bar removed.

Here is another pick of a racing dolomite back in the 70s that looks like its doing the same as mine Looks like the rear is well squated

Don't suppose you have a copy of the feature when it was in Retro so I (we) can have a read? I would have to find it out of the loft and scan it Will have a look at the weekend :-)

The very top picture i was on trailing throttle and just turning as i went into the corner too quick And didnt want to touch the throttle until i had made it mostly through the corner

Here is a racing dolomite doing about the same Is it just a trait of the Dolomites to do this ? I hope mine hasnt turned to jelly

I would like to purchase some decent shocks but dont know which ones to buy. Do you mean to stiffen the chassis As all i could do now if you mean this is to have the cage welded in fully And have it through the bulk head and welded to the turret tops I think the torsional rigididty is quite good as i can lift the front wheel up of the ground With a jack the doors all open and shut ok. (Which i didnt think was bad for a 35 year old chassis) Not like a Rover 200 my sister had .....

I have AVO double adjustables But they are a bit of a shorter stroke I think its a 13" stroke as standard I have 10" as its lowered, Do they have adjustable pre-load? The only adjustment is spring seat And 13 click adjustment wheel These on the right

Ok sounds good

Yes it was in Retro issue 1

Thanks it has taken me a while You may recognise the engine i have fitted Here is a build pick Its changed quite a bit since then
