If you have to lengthen the wishbones then are the arbs going to fit?

I havent checked the front yet but rear def doesnt fit. Im gathering things together to put up for sale which will include the ARBs because its probably better to sell as a set.

Do you have amy picture of how you lengthen you front A arms?

I didn’t lengthen mine I just bought full exige v6 wishbones front and rear

the exige front upright is the VX part , the drop link is the same, the wishbones are a different part , a suitable spacer on the wishbone droplink mounting may let your reuse the front arb , or you go for

 

A138C0013F, Anti Roll Bar Front 21.5mm

 

if the wishbone mounting for the damper bottom bolt is further outboard , do Nitron fit a longer open length damper stroke ?

The front upright is the same but I got exige ones as they came with the wishbones. Which had bearings and the brake calliper adaptors. The front ARB fits fine. Which is the cornering force one. The rear doesn’t fit so will be selling the cornering force ARBs front and rear as would probably be better for them to go as a pair unless someone just wants the rear?... I’ve also fitted new V6 shocks so wouldn’t know if any others would fit. But I can check the length of my v6 ones against some stock VX billies if it helps anyone? I think the lower shock mount is in the same position and it’s just the ballpoint that is moved outwards

Bit more work completed on the car.

Got my brackets back from My mate and got the shocks etc fitted.





Also had a play with my welder, welding some aluminium for my boost pipe. Not the greatest but not bad for my first time with ally.



Also got my exige V6 gear shift mechanism fitted in place of the modified VX one



Car needs a good tidy up!

And decided rather than try and fix my rear clam that I got from a race car so has the boot and rear panel cut out, I just bought another one, has a small bit of damage to rear right (which I’ve already fixed)

Wow, that's some major rear subframe - is it all bespoke?

 

Good welding on your boost pipe, I might get mine out today and have a practice on alu.

Its a standard Exige S V6 subframe

As above standard V6 subframe. Have replaced everything to V6 for ease
