Since then the 166 has gotten quite a bit of money spent on it. All new front and rear bushings upper and lower wishbones on the front and new Koni FSD's and Eibach springs. This mod has truly transformed the car. All the chassis flex I thought was in the car was actually the fact that the cars shocks were completely ruined.
Since replacing them the car is like a go kart, it rides way better can be a bit harsh over very bad roads but now there is no pitching or diving in the car compared to before. If you really want to transform your 166 this is by far the best mod you can do other than decent set of discs and brakes to help haul the beast up.
Also, if you have a 3l car try and fit a 2.5 box it does make a nice difference to the pull off the engine with the slightly shorter ratios. And will still do 150mph with a fair amount of ease.
Anyway here are some pics of the car lowered. These aren't the best but you get the idea. I'll take some more soon
Also, the 166 had a full restoration on the paintwork with new panels fitted and repainted in the original Nero colour paint only 2 years ago. I also do some detailing so try and keep it looking top notch if and when I can but the car is stored outside so there is the usual marks that come along with a car and someone reversed into it in a car park destroying the rear boot which need to be painted again and the rear bumper but that will be done in time just do not have a paitence or money to do it at this stage.
Also, I have a high end stereo to be fitted to the car in the next coming weeks before I head over to Auto Italia in Brooklands in May. The stereo consists of
