My Rangie handles like a rocket since having a mini-makeover yesterday - Konis on all 4 corners and Magnecor leads. Wouldn't have thought it could make such a massive difference to the performance and handling, but it certainly has.
Highly recommended, but not cheap. Then, nothing about Rangies is cheap anyway, except buying a P38 with everything about it knackered....
I don't miss the wallowing round corners, even though I had got very used to it over 5 years!!
If its this nice to drive, then I may put my name on a Coscast block for a future transplant.......
The outfit at RPi / v8engines.com Norwich delivered excellent service, although certainly not cheap; I had the blowing manifold sorted by them and a brake pipe started to leak during the MOT, so the bill was quite high in the end with the Konis as well, more than the few hundred quid some paid for their P38s, as people are sometimes keen to point out!! I am relieved though, that there is such a knowledgeable independent in the Norwich area as I'm based here for a while, the owner is passionate about V8s and I was able to see the new Coscast blocks alongside originals and the old linered blocks.....no comparison really!!! Their LPG conversion also looks enticing - false floor installed with high capacity external tanks - if I have the transplant done at some time, I may go for it. That is, if a VW Touareg doesn't end up on the shopping list instead!!!:doh:
