Guys, i need a world cup or equivalent x member for my 2.3 to sit on, anyone got anything laying about, ive got a few stock ones, even a seam welded one, but i want a world cup type with engine mounts to suit

Matt

I have a new GRP4 with std rack mounts $365 including engine mounts

Where are you located, this sounds like a good setup to me

Sydney.

PM your address and I'll give you a postage price, should be about $20.

You need the lowered rack mount one.

Really Mick, what's the difference?

Postcode is 3875 anyway

Mick do you have pics of the difference?

Sump clearance to the rack.
I don't have any pics of hand.
the rack mounts 10-15mm lower for the sump.
It's a common issue people come across when they don't get the right info..
May be Ulsterman if he reads this he may have a pic to show, as he has the 2.3 in his MK1.
If you go onto one of the UK sites (GRP4, Rallydesign etc.)and have a look at the WCXM's you should be able to see the difference with a good eye.

Lowered rack mounts are for rally cars set higher than standard to get a reasonable (near flat) angle for the steering arms. If you have lowered rack mounts on a road or lowered height car you will have terrible bump steer.

If sump clearance is the issue wouldn't it be better to mod the sump than muck about with the steering angles?
