Indeed!! Quite an upgrade Jan! And the car is really comin together great now.

Thanks, Dorito :!:

Yeah, the drive line is reduced in weight by more than 7 kg, and I can't wait to try it out

I took my calibers apart in the hollyday:


Today they where dropped off to be sand blasted and the might be done by tonight A little paint, a rebuild, slab them on the car and we're off

I also ordered a bosal exhaust which should be here at the end of the week...

I should be able to take the car for a test drive within a week or two - haven't driven it for 22 months or so

[Jan Pedersen]

Calibers are done:



And my new exhaust has arrived:


Now I just need to put everything together. So it should be able to run some time next weekend

[Jan Pedersen]

I got the brakes done today. Didn't test drive yet, though...

Nice to get this far!

And here is a pic of the new drive shaft mounted:


Also wanted to mount the exhaust but they sent the wrong gaskets and mounts

And that's why you have the clamp on it?

Yes. We wanted to see how it would fit...

Hey Jan....where´d you get that one-piece shaft?

[pedro-siR]

nice work. the other day i was considering in doing the straight driveshaft mode to my car also. But i noticed that the "line" of the transmision and the rear diff are not in the same position. So i thought if that would cause any trouble when the car is running, like vibration?

too bad you haven't been able to drive it around, but if someone has the same straight driveshaft, have you noticed any difference?

thanks.

damnit, i need to get me those side skirts!!!!
