(bing@anglers.com.au) The GS has the full hydro suspension but with only three ride height settings. I've tuned the GS suspension a little by grafting on a Citroen CX (2mm thicker) torsion bar and re valving a pair of early (ID19) nitrogen spheres to suite. The next thing to try is put an extra acumilator sphere into the system and reduce the nitrogen in the front spheres along with a solinoid to switch in the extra sphere. This should give two ride quality settings all going well, one firm and one for soaking up the bumps. The ID19 is an X rally car that I'm putting back to road use (class winner in the 95 round Aus trial - which just means it can't be broken by rough roads and that it's still really slow). Found a little info online about two factory prototypes from 1965 that had a Mas V6 engine and that really got me interested. Have heard one running in a rally SM and they sound way cool. The factory proto cars were used to test a mechanicaly activated version of their hydro anti roll system. Aint those brakes something else? 62 bar of pressure to four discs on a 800kg car that squats when you jump on the picks:) Cheers, Chris. [Report message to a moderator]
