Nice!

Anyone know if the wider track is just a combination of spacers, wide wheels and low offset or is there some serious trickness going on there?

Im going next year to a few rounds, but i believe either custom wishbone setups with full adjustability like the ones i had made and similar to what Dogwood has on his or varients of the salzmann type PPP frame and also wide wheels circa 8.5" to 9-10".

They have them for sale amoungst other gucci things on the www.berg-cup.de website, click on marktplatz, then on teilemarkt (parts for sale), or fahrzeugemarkt (cars for sale).

Id love to buy a berg cup car. ;D

Just to say that this:



It was made by me, and it was my old G40 (CN Plate)

But no problem in copyright  ;D btw sorry for the "out topic".

What exhaust system do you reckon he has got?

Would it be straight through?

Would love mine to sound like that. Its a good rally car sound.

they are pretty good value for money. Only reason I did not get one was that they are so bastardised that repairing them would be brutal if not impossible.

nice thought though

I was tempted at one point during the rebuild of my old track slut to just go out and buy a ready done berg cup car.  I think the ones I was looking at at the time through the Berg-Cup.de website in the marketplace section were ranging from 5,000Euro upto 10,000Euro.  Some with engines, some without (was looking at putting my engine in it) I was tempted to just get a loan and get one and sell up everything from mine, sent out emails, even got my mate's german wife to translate them, but a lass no one replied to me. :(

I remember the bug eye orange one on there for sale at 19,999Euro!
