So the car is up and running, we re-registered it with the authorities on thursday last week (March 30th 2007), we had no problems with the process, the roll cage was totally padded so that even a nut case would be safe inside the car, the exhaust with side exit was ok as were the adjustable suspension, plastic rear windows and electronic rally-trip speedometer.
I don't have many pictures as we have been too busy this past week getting the car ready and then going out to play in it.
Still to be done is the painting of the white stripes (between the red/bue and at the bottom of the skirts) fitting of a rear wing (not allowed for the registration test), lightweight mirrors and lowering the seats so we can actually see out!
We are also going to get some 100mm long rear porsche wheel studs, as the 70mm 924 turbo rear studs are not long enough on the rear. We are currently only running a 20mm spacer at the rear and ideal would be 35mm to get the wheels right out in the wheel arches.. it is easy to change them now that the hubs and discs are already drilled to 14,5mm and the rear arms have had a notch ground in them to let the longer studs pass through from behind without needing to remove the hubs.
150bhp makes it a fun car for the easily impressed, but we will be looking for some more, so the head is coming off next week, I will port the head, get a decent camshaft, T25 turbo, intercooler, injectors, fuel pump and a remap. Also might look into baffling the fuel tank as we get fuel surge doing donuts on less than 1/4 tank of fuel!
First set of rear tyres are already shredded.... so as a drift car she is approved.....!
