I really like the car and the upgrades you do to it! nice to see the GPP rack and pinion, do you know from which model they use the rack?

VW polo 86C if I'm not mistaken. |

Great car, it's always nice to see upgrades  How does it feels with the Bilstein shocks? It's a firm ride, but it doesn't lock up when the shock has to travel fast like a twin tube. That's nice on the concrete roads around here. Thanks for the info |

I received the bare heads from AA, they will get reworked by engine plus. Case and crank assembly (pulley to pressure plate) stuff will also be done by engine plus.

I also picked up the exhaust. I'm going to use the evo competition in 42mm with heater boxes.

Two weeks ago the rear left wheel came loose. The fender is scrap, the wheel only has paint damage (I checked the balance). So I decided to convert to earlier taillights. I'm also going to get new front fenders since the wheel arch is 2.5 cm higher on the left one, that fucked up the stance from the left side really bad.

The rear fenders fit after some minor work. the new front fenders look like the same as the right front one that's on the car. So I will mount the new left one first and check if there is any difference in dimensions. The holes for the taillights in the rear fenders are wrong tho', does anyone have a template for this?

What's the verdict on the exhaust, does it fit nicely? Sound good?

Do you mean the evo competition or the dual muffler? The evo will only get mounted when my 2.2l is finished. The dual mufflers hang too low, the Y pipe after the collector is shortened to get the mufflers to fit nice. Sound is nice, not too loud. I have more noise from the dellorto's. |

Sorry I was meaning the Evo, it's one cool looking "stealth" exhaust. I'd be interests in hearing how well it fits, when your new engine is ready.

What happened? Wheel nuts broke or just went loose? |

I picked up the car from the painter 3 weeks ago and started treating the backside of the fenders.

Nice car! Did you need to weld and cut anything when installing the rack and pinion set?

Only the steering shaft to connect to the rack. everything else is bolt on, and it fits under the tank |

Last week I fitted white indicators up front and red top taillight lenses. I also painted the chrome of the taillight black.
