combo van that needs help!

[sutmut]

hello all, i new here and i drive a combo van that has problems with corners! would it inprove things if i was to maybe lower the frunt end?? i still need to be able to us it as a van but it would be nice to enjoye the drive. also would the shocks from the back of a proper corsa go it??
any help would be great.

What ya mean its got a problem ... it seems to be crap compaired to when you first had it ?

if you mean it just dont do them in general .. its a van

its light on the back ... its long .. an taller not exactly the best things for racin lol

front has engine an box an humans an that ... all the rear has is a beam with 2 hubs

[sutmut]

i know it's never going to be a sports car but i'd like to be able to get it round a round about without the need to put my arm out the window to hold it up! i'm not looking for anything amazing just better then it is.... so would it help??

[T10NY-R]

errm .. 40mm on the front 3 or 4 slabs in the back an front strut braces could try

[sutmut]

sounds good to me i'll give it a try........... how easy is it to do the 2.0l conversion?? just a thought!! maybe a little silly but could be fun......lol!!!!!

[T10NY-R]

well its common enuff .. so if you have engine knowledge it should be a walkover

[sutmut]

i may have to to have a go then!!! any advice on the backend??? being a van it may be a little hard work to keep in line. will the shocks from a proper corsa go on?? if so i might be able to sort it out a bit. am i being silly?? will a red top be to much for a van??

[T10NY-R]

its been done before... errm rear suspension youll have to look cause some vans are leaf springs some are coils weight wise not really sure .. id jus do the pikey way an put some 4 by 2 slabs in

[sutmut]

mines leaf! it an old m reg!! the back end is good new springs and shocks and most days has something in the back.......... thinking about it i'm a man with a van! so if any of you need a courier just let me know...........

Lol thnx. When u do carry stuff try and spread the weight out as well if u want it to handle gd. Also ive seen on ur profile ur vans a diesel. That will make any 2.0 litre conversion a lot lot harder to do and cost a lot more as well. If u want more power maybe a 1.7 td engine might be the best bet

[sutmut]

would that just be plug and play?? and would i have to stay with an old lump?? or will the new td go in it??........ look at me with all the questions!! lol....
