Pommy Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Well I have taken the spoiler off now meaning the boot opens way too fast, is there a way to slow this down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1972 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Put the spoiler back on.....I'll get me coat ;) Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Where I would agree with the above answer ;) I think you could maybe change the struts or whatever they are called or just lift it slower :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Pete Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Slower struts, maybe get some from and estate car or hatch back as they will have more resistance thanks to the weight of the boots. Might take some experimentation to find the best, too strong and it won't open at all. Must admit I don't like classics with out a spoiler looks too much like the old Ford Frog faced Granada's.

BoozyDave Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 is it fitted with the torsion style bars (not struts)? try removing one of them, or get some from a wrx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pommy Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 I believe BoozyDave is correct, no struts in sight which confused me. So I can just remove one of them? Should be easy enough. And I have to admit a lot of people not a big fan of it without spoiler but I like it, looks different to all the ones running around Bradford, and should confuse a fair few people when I hit the throttle.

BoozyDave Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 If you look where the arm is that holds the boot lid, you will see a hinged bracket about 100mm long that holds the end of the bar. Move that first, then remove the bar, it will be easier to prop the boot open before you start. You may need to remove them both at first because they can get tangled together I bet you will surprise a few people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
