You can have my red Tower Bar Karl. That shouldnt be a problem at all.

Not much has happend to the car. Its having a blast in a heated garage. I got every bit of suspension i want to throw at it. (see picture further up).
Considering the Norwegian approval department and their laws. I want to have everything in my garage before i start building. That way, i got the car road worthy for two years when i first start building on it.

Budget spent so far,
Car purchase from switzerland including tax : 3500 euro
Suspension : 2800 euro + 750-800 euro recently
Engine 2700 euro
Megasquirt 3.0 600 euro

Im just waiting for the engine.
I ordered the engine through CLK motorsports. I've never in my entire life as a tuning parts supplier (middle man) seen this level of proffisionality.

They mailed me pictures of them building the engine, video clips and such. Thats a new, for starters.

Them testrunning the engine

I recommend everyone to buy their engines off CLK.

Got confirmed that the engine is here in the middle of january.

And just bought some more parts.






Looking forward to getting the engine home, so that i can start building the car.

for what the hell? i dont think this can actually do anything good to your car. even worse, it does bad! think a little: when you cornering for example to the left. the weight shifts to the right. on the right side your lca moves up and on the left it goes down, the tc rods follow that movement and by that logic just like the lcas move separately the tc rods also need to move differently and separately. they are also not solidly mounted on the car so this wont make your chassis any stiffer at all. what in the world do you achieve by locking the tc rods together when they must move seaparately in order to function? seriously guys!....

Hey,
Thanks for your post.

The tc rods will be moving seperatly even with this mounted i'd guess.
Its not the chassis that makes the tc move. Its the bushings.

This is my theory, i did buy this to try it. Alot of cars has this originally mounted. As for example the Mistubishi starion.

I see your point there, but i will still be mounting this and see if it improves further on the chassis rigidity.

I did read around on the forum before purchasing. I recommend you to do the same. As i do not have any experience with their products yet.

[Lajoosh]

you wont know till you try this without the other stuff. i dont understand what this thing does in theory.
