beautiful car, man! that's the nicest streetable 1st gen I've ever seen!

 

Thanks
Cool to hear that people likes my car:P

Have started on making fender in fiberglass now, for selling it..

 

we need Carbon Fiber parts ... not fiber glass lol

 

If someone wants to pay the price for a set of CF, then no problem, but it is EXPENSIVE.

 

We NEED vented or louvered hoods in CF. I hate to rain on Fibremaz's parade but he's taking too long. Plus shipping from you to North America would be cheaper. I was just going to add some universal carbon louvers to my hood, but I might start saving for a full carbon hood if someone gets them ready soon enough.

 

heck i wouldnt mind those louvers that you talked about where you find those

 

An update from whats happening in my workshop.

Here are a picture from the brake calipers I will use on the rear brakes, it comes from a Volvo S60R.




And then I have refreshed the carrier arms for the front suspension.

All steel parts has been Cadmium plated, and will never corrode again.



And have also bought new arms for the anti-swaybar



Here are the arms ready to put back on to the car again.

 

Ohh looks good. Those parts was all corroded and damn ugly :P
Damn, i wish i didnt quit working at SAS. I know im gonna visit the hangar a few times next year when im doing the suspension and YOU are gonna let me inn when you work night hehe..

 

Hehe, they didnt look good, thats for sure, but for the price they costed me, it was worth it

No problem, you're welcome to the hangar whenever you want to.. I'll never close the door for rotary guys

 

Maked a new rear hatch now.. This one looks much better than the first one.. But with some job, the first one will look better as well..

If anyone are intrested, the first one is for sale for a good price..


Some pictures of the first vs new.






Notice that theese has just comed out of the mold, with clearcoat on it, it will look MUCH better, and much more ****

 

Err I want one but by the time I have the cash it be gone.

 

Wow. This thread delivers in every way. First, an incredible build by a fella with mad skills. Then we get to see it in action. By far the most enjoyable thread i have seen on this site so far. Great work man, keep it coming!

 

Thanks..

A lot of parts are ordered now, so hopefully I'll get them before christmas, since i have 2 weeks of at work then..

 

Some pictures of the fiberglass fenders, theese pictures are taken before i have cleaned of the release film from the parts. so looks a little bad.

 

No upgrades at the moment, working on some fiberglas fenders that i have sold to some guys here in norway.

But can post some pictures of how the weather is here in norway, the pictures are taken on my way to the workshop today.

 

we just got frist snow in mass this mourning, about 1cm lol your so lucky.

 

Haha, have had snow for a month now here.

Is about 30 cm of snow here now

 

Looks like a WRC rally stage i love it

 

hehe, if not a rally stage so, i can tell you that it's a good road for testing my mazda during the summer, gravel road.

Anyway, this is how the landscape is in norway, either like this, or with a lot of mountains.

 

Snow is not all that fun.

 

Ohh, Jan Tore, have to be careful on the snow, dont be driving to fast or run in to a ditch.

Should know that when you're living in a snowy county like we are

 

i love living in New England around xmas. seems every year when i drive from my house in mass to my buddys place (100 pluse miles on the high). i see atleast 5 cars from down south or some state that doesn't have snow flipped over and off the highway. its funnier when you see some one from newengland in a ditch cause they should know better. the best was the cop that fliped his car 2 years ago in front of me on the highway. i had to give him a ride since it was 15 miles north and south from a exit. side note its only funny when you know the person isnt hurt.

is it true that living in norway every thing is more money ect. like is cost of living super high?

 

I'm going to Portland Maine this christmas....although I won't be driving. I'm actually from maine, but never driven in the thick stuff.

Sidenote, we do really both have 2.3 ford's (I have 2 XR4ti's) and wankels? Thats beyond awesome.

 

Living in norway is expensive yes. The cars costs twise as much here as anywhere else in the world. The gasoline here costs like 1,5 dollar for a liter. Yes a LITER.

norway is not a good place to live in if you likes cars,.

 

thats what ive been told.


XR4ti a car so ugly t became cool lol jk.
