Welcome. Very impressive car you have.

The wishbones that you made are interesting too. I wonder if it would be better than a subframe?

Some good power your putting out on the 16v, what was the engine from?

Hi Jezza,

there`s a subframe too. So the front and rear fix point is matched by a subframe (Unterfahrschutz). Without subframe the system would be much to weak.

WOW!  :o

Welcome to the forum, some serious kit going on there!

Are they both still 1272cc or have you increased the bore and/or stroke?




The 8V is 1380ccm and the 16V is 1421ccm

Wolfgang Zwießler sponsored me when I did
hillclimb racing in Gruppe H from 1995 to 2003. He doesn`t live in Germany since a couple of years. The sticker on the wing and the wing is from the 16V. So the telephone number doesn`t exist any longer - but it remembers me at the old days....

Very nice work Chris.
A man who`s already got my heart.
Those wishbones and subframe setup are along the lines of what i
had in mind for mine.
I have simular drawings.
Is that a Alternator belt used to hang the Exhaust back box.

So glad you posted all this here as it`s inspiration to us all.

Many Thanks!

Regards, Fred.

Thank`s a lot Fred,

yes thats an alternator belt under the exhaust. Many years ago one of the suspension rubbers broke and I had to stop race. With that belt I`m always at the shure side
