Have you done anymore mods to your Bis?

[RSPSTEVE]

No mate .

No point spending more money as i want to sell it , going to lose a fortune as it is .

I`m not using it allthough i took it out a few days ago , did struggle to start after a few weeks sitting outside but did fire up and still drove lovely .

How`s yours going ?

hello

can i ask where you got your lowering kit from?

and if the rear includes the correct shocks for the bis?

[RSPSTEVE]

Came from italy and no the shocks for the rear are 500 , waste of money tbh, i still havnt done the rear .
Do what the guys who have done it do, take a leaf out , cut the rear coils etc, plenty been written on here .

[FluxCo]

thanks for that

i ve seen post of people cutting their spring, but thought they were trying to save money

[bis13]

you can use the uprated rear coils that are sold for the 500/126 aircooled versions however as you know there are no shorter bis rear damper on the market so its easier to just cut out a coil on the original spring and use the standard damper i dont know how much you know but if you fit rear dampers (from the aircooled) on the front along with a reverse eyed leaf spring then it will lower and stiffen up the front end. 

[FluxCo]

nice, cheers for that

rear aircool dampers and reverse eye'd leaf for the rear and chopped coil on the back it is

thank you both

Hi Steve,
My Bis is doing well and has been reliable apart from the one odd occassion when the car would not turn on ignition. So far, the problem has not occurred again. I haven't used it since we had the snow, so I miss driving it.

Just wondered if your 126 has any rear belts fitted ... and if it's still for sale ?

After having put up with the most  timewasters i have ever had on one car she has now sold .

Another month and i think i would have kept it for another summer .

New owner has be told of the site ,but has bought it for his wife who will use it daily , not sure he is into the classic car scene but my pop on here soon.

Thanks everyone for all your help and advice over the last year .

I will be lurking and who knows i may be back!!
