Just a Heads up all the parts you have made "fit" the Diesel 940

Just the under brace bars had to be fitted slightly incorrectly to make it fit they were placed under the plate rather than over it due to clearance issues.

I'm also getting quite a lot of noise and vibration from the car now so i have the feeling the sump maybe vibrating off of the bolts (the area i had clearance issues)

This isn't a daily driver so I've not popped my head under to look at sorting the problem. We was working in the dark when we was fitting them so we may have missed something hopefully we just need a smaller head one of the bolt or something.


But looks like the diesel boys will get to play as well!

Sorry for the late reply, got a new job and lifes been gettting in the way!.

Yesterday i had a little bit of time and loosened the bolts on the under brace and then did them back up with the car sitting naturally on the floor and this has go rid of the nasty noises, so this was just caused by having the car jacked up while fitting.

Took it for a quick spin and its much nicer! as im still at standard ride height i have a lot of body roll and what not. so the best way of explaining the improvement is if i was to blip or sharply turn the steering wheel the car and have a tighter feel and the car had less "roll" so to speak on initial moments.

With the dual anti roll bar fitted as well the arse feels tighter but also seems like it wants yaw more when going through long bends (but the car still remains planted)

Certainly a worthy investment, looking forward to doubling up the front anti roll bar and lowering it.

sorry its a boating term, I meant that the arse of the car wanted to come round more while turning, while turning left the arse would want to swing right not to a huge degree just vs before.

I get u now! Yes it will definitely change the characteristics of the car. Running stiffer rollbars either front or back will make it more prone to oversteer or understeer. Thats why getting a good combination is key. Also depends on your personal preference to how u like your car to handle. Doubling up at the front should in theory keep the same characteristics regarding its tendency to oversteer and understeer as it was originally with just one bar front and back. But with a lot less roll obviously. It will also depend on which bars u use on the front compared to the back. Its something u will just have to play around with until you have it exactly as u want it.
