thats a highly tuned replica of a S1. If you go to youtube you can search for KRB s1, and you will probably find some videos of it there.. Its a crazy and fast car..

You were the beast of that backstretch... laughed out loud watching the wannabe drifters (and the non-driver in that deTomaso) flailing around as you simply sailed past.

That sound of that engine is absolutely awesome. Kudos!

Haven't done very much to the car lately due to that I'm making me a new workshop.

But some parts for the car are ordered as well, and some parts are under production.

Parts that are comming in during the next months are following:

- Short steering rack.
- Rear axle upgrade with fully floating drive shafts
- Big brakes
- Making the rear window into Carbon fiber and installing a lexan window from the firewall and up.

The brakes that are comming for the car in the front:

Will come up with more pics om my new workshop and also the Carbon Fiber Rear hatch later..


Stay tuned....
