Hi there, I’ve recently acquired my first Quantum 2+2 and my first impressions are, wow! The licence plate is F229 UPB, if by any chance one of you have owned it! However, after a few Sunday drives a couple of niggles have appeared. Firstly and quite worryingly, under harsh acceleration/cornering, particularly around roundabouts (i can’t resist), the rear arches do rub against the outside of the rear wheels. It’s running 195/50/R15 tyres, which I don’t believe are the problem, but if any of you do think they are the problem, please say. Other than that, could I have some advice on what springs/shocks to replace the current ones with to avoid the problem? Secondly, the engine is a 1.4cvh head with a 1.8 bottom end. Well, this is what the guy i bought it off has told me! The issue here is, the dipstick is from the 1.4 block so does not even reach the oil with a fresh 3.5L in. So my question is, will the 1.8 cvh dipstick be fit for purpose? Or, if any of you could point me in the right direction to what dipstick would suit/someone in the know, it’d be greatly appreciated. FYI, the quantum was registered in 1992 and is based on a 1.4 mk2 of 1989. The now 1.8 engine has been gas flowed with a kent cam and scorpion exhaust with a TDLM carb. It’s a beautiful black, with some tidy 15” alloys. 0-60 has been timed at 7.8 Thanks for reading this far, any information will be greatly appreciated. HB
