Alright, just finished installing caster shims, 19mm bugpack sway bar and lower the front one tad on the avis adjusters - unfortunately that only turned out as a 0.5 cm drop  Well, i can still go 2 teeth lower so i might have another go next time. Took my brother for a ride to take some pics, i was just blasting over the dykes the handling is so much better now, but then i saw police car so i had to slow down  They looked very questioning at me though  Here we go, the 3 nicest IMO: |

Looking very nice!! The caster shims will slightly raise the front end, so another notch on the beam will probably get you where you want to be.

I suppose you're right about that Zach! Do you have any idea how much one more tooth on an avis adjuster will lower the front? I was so surprised about how much of a snap the shims were to install! Feels good to have accomplished this much this weekend  |

Alright, i'll do that next time... The weird is though that the upper bolt seems to be in the lowest position already, i didn't touch this one since i could already change the heigth by lower the bottom bolt  Aren't i supposed to loosen both bolts? Just wondering...

Thanks Jelle! I appreciate it It was a beautiful day and i drove around big time today, went to uni from my parent's place, and incidentially all my friends saw me driving around today. They were all amazed, said it was so cool. Asking me whether i just bought, naaaahhh took me almost 3 years to get it to look like this Then i dropped a few guys off and the way home, they were pretty amazed by the monster tach as well  So, i told them as much about the california look as i could in a few minutes. Pretty cool, surely brought a grin to my face everytime. But it did notice a few things during the 75km i drove today. All of a sudden (perhaps i didn't notice before) i have a pretty big difference in the brakes, if i don't hold on the steering wheel firmly it pulls to the right quite a bit. Could i have messed anything up on the brakes while pulling away the rear axles on Saturday? Perhaps the brake cable were stretched too far? I'm just guessing it's the rear... And there's a click in my steering wheel/or the tube when i go over bumps Any ideas lads? |

I still remember the party in Budel 2000. On friday night, there was an EXCELLENT(!) cover band, performing songs from rage against the machine, skunk anansie, etc. I will always remember this evening. I think it was this party, where a german guy broke his leg, "dancing" to the music. Man, I was DRUNK! :-)

Thanks DeNiro! I appreciate it! We have a Vollgas Cruisenight planned on April 14th and I'm reallly excited to see what it will be like! I won't be there with my ride, as it will be at the painter's I'm sure i can hitch a ride in JeePee 200hp monster Man, what a launch that was when he took off after we had been busy on my 67 all saturday! Took me about 5 minutes doing 75mph to catch up But hey, i'll be fixing up my motor in 2 weeks! Got my kadrons lying in my room at my parent's place, god i'm sure that the first carbs you use look massive at first, i've got them all hooked up to their manifolds and air cleaners and i can't wait to mount them. But i'm sure they'll just disappear compared to IDAs, but hey it's my first step But i'm hoping for a big succes on the 14th! There are not that many lookers in Holland, and although it's not that far from the border for the Germans i'm hoping some may come! That would be awesome. We'll take pics for sure! P.s. i found that the click in my steering wheel is a sort of electric shortcircuit, perhaps it's my horn or indicator that is faulty? ? |

And what a blast it was! Great turn up - most likely due to the wonderful weather Some weren't even to go home until 2 a.m. More pics to follow later. |

And then after 5 minutes we left, i thought throttle cable was sticking at 2500 RPM , Dennis says Vapor lock... After 2 hours of cooling down ? Aluminum Cases don't stay That Hot. 20 minutes later all cool. Then Engine starts poppin'and banging again, when i went off throttle. I DID replace that stinking IDF. Made it home on FULL throttle with Freeway Flyer Gearbox Then ran into Alcohol Hold-Up by local Sherrifs 5 minutes from home. I blow, and after the (no-alcohol) Beep the Officer tells me: Its Loud. I tell him: I didn't Drink. He responded: No, the fucking Car !!! Made it home at 24.00, smoked 5 cigars and had a few red wines to get back to earth... But it was a cool meeting... |

Bunch of nice cars but I'm wondering about the relative lack of 50's cars? Just one split is all I see, and no ovals at all? What's with that?
