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.

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.

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.

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,.
