Isn't it kinda wrong?
I'm surprised a Phoenix tub fitted on the Fury chassis in the first place to be honest.

1. Welcome to Sylvaland, enjoy!
2. That's a hell of a strip down!
3. That's also a very tidy garage/workbench!

800 miles to return at home, the time to do some bits!
thanks all for welcome, I will be post here for news and surely questions.
This Fury is only for (fast) trackdays and the first build is not good.

Hi all, hi Gwen
Well, I have a problem with suspension setup, there are the 'Spax' supplied by Fisher with the kit.
Springs are set to the max lowered position but shocks stays full open when car is on the floor.
It's the same at front and rear.
Seem to be springs are too long, or the car is too light
Any ideas ?
Another questions, on this pic: why there is two positions from the arms, I use the outboard, it's correct ?
thank for all.

For a widened track width , if the bodywork will cover the tyres --- if not then a little ' wheel arch ' widening is needed
Regarding the springs ----- depends if the engine is ' bike ' or ' car ' and is it still in the chassis
Take the springs off and you should find a scratched number marked on the top or bottom flat surface . It will say length and lbs weighting like 9 / 180 for instance , meaning 9inch spring with 180lbs weighting.

thank,
Engine is a Honda Fireblade and is in the chassis.
ok, i must extract springs to see rate but i'm almost sure there is a problem with shocks, there are new but with
ten years storage.
