I definately prefer the white wheels myself, they suited the age of the car alot better and looked more rally slag :)

The window valance is ace haha love it! I definately need to get my rubstrips off too now seeing yours :) cool car dude!

Thanks! :]

Because it gets winter the white wheels will get on again. The white's aren't very good either..

A friend made 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 and 8 cm lowering blocks for the rear, so I can try something what suits best.
Looking what to do with the front springs, it should not be very stif so the car keeps oversteered. But it can be a little bit more stiff.

It's on 4 koni's now, a amazing difference. The rear very stiff, the front acceptabel stiff. Drives very nice :]

Yes, they are hard to find. In holland they sometimes appear.

Also working on the damage on the right side of the car. Hopefully it wil look nice after all, at least from a distance or from video :roll:

Probably i will get some video action on tape. Can't wait till friday..

Good effort as always!! Nice pics ;) I love the fact a 1.4 variomatic can mix it with the usual kind of drift cars!

Looks great fun :)
And it has to be said, that's a decent size shed! Plenty of space for working on cars there. Was it an aircraft hanger?

Oh man, that looks like fun! Maybe I should get my grip-free turkish summer tyres out of the cellar and have a go! The Niederrhein's not far from me ...
