Oh yes, the Carltons finally back together after muchos sleeping in, delayed parts, and broken tools!  Cheesy

Still not fully finished yet (new tie rod ends to do yet.... but they can wait til I have time to take it to a tracking place) but taken it for a spin. Fun-a-licious. Planted on the road, steering is a treat, grips nicely, brakes nicely. My carlton faith is restored.

For those that dont know, replaced the OE dampers and springs, with Koni GSi dampers and 2.0 lowering springs, new wishbones (so new bottom balljoints and bushes).

Big thanks to pedro for selling me the shocks and springs too  Wink All I need to do now is put the rear springs in again and hopefully Ill have a car that doesnt resemble a drag racer!  Cheesy

Even gave the old girl a wash!  Cheesy

Think its definitely getting the stripping treatment on the interior soon as well. Oh happy days. Im in love with the carlton again.

"The Lotus Carlton is not tail happy – honestly -  as long as you accept it has 377 bhp and 419 lb/ft of torque, is rear drive and has no driver aids, it's fine."
