Sunday again already, found another pic of this one, I love everything about this car, except for the fact that it's not in my garage.  ;D

I commented on the wheels in a different post & was given a couple of links, they are STUPID EXPENSIVE! (But worth every penny) Maybe someday...

It's not only the wheels, but the knock-off hubs which means different uprights, which means different suspension... I'll bet it has a killer motor in it!

Somehow, you seem to find just the right pictures that makes me want to tear my car apart and rebuilt it like that! Then I think about the time and money and what Mrs. BDA would say!

I totally agree/understand, whenever I order parts I have to factor in the cost of new shoes that will arrive at the same time... :FUNNY:

Another nice one, blaster!

I've been working on it a little, put the new cam seal in it last night, took it back out because I thought I put it in too far, (I didn't) bought another one today & the inside of the seal folded out on the camshaft.  :headbanger:
Oh well, third time will be the charm. (hopefully).  ::)
No more snow, just lots of rain, snowblower off, mower deck on!  :)

IMHO the aerofoil completely ruins the look of a very pretty car in a good colour.

I presume someone has worked out that the back end needs more downforce, and the car needs less straight line speed.

I have never had a problem with the back end except on snow or wet grass, and presumably they are not expected to race on either of those.

I cannot see the point at all of the modification.
