Title: may be the first...... Post by: speedwell on September 11, 2009, 21:26:04 pm ...racecar to show the way of the nostalgia look and also the man who was behind the project : uncle keith
in 97 who was talking about the old racecar , the Bible was recently for sale, and keith made us the flashback a nostalgia racer with a resemblance in inch pincher too , but in this time, nobody still spoke about the nostalgia look, I think that flashback would still be on tracks nowadays if she wasn't sale keith have you regretted the car ??? i never seen the car in real , indeed in black at lege cap feret at super vw nats Title: Re: may be the first......

Title: Re: may be the first...... Post by: Neil Davies on September 14, 2009, 12:19:58 pm I got it. My roof-chopped nostalgia gasser came out in primer in 2000 and in paint in 2001, 13" front wheels and everything! ;)
Flashback did look fantastick just in plain black with BRMs too, but the green flames just didn't do it for me! :-[ Title: Re: may be the first...... Post by: 71CALRIPPER on September 14, 2009, 12:43:08 pm What size tyres you think worked well on the 13s?

Front tyres were 155x13 – seemed to look about right and offered some reasonable grip. Title: Re: may be the first......

I used a Bridgestone (I think!) 165x13, but my front wheels were a bit wider! They're on the front of Rob Kilham's (East Coast Manx) bronze buggy now. Title: Re: may be the first......

They had a 155 at the tyre place but the sidewall just looked too new. :) Title: Re: may be the first...... Post by: banditina on September 15, 2009, 11:57:01 am ;).......
