LEN - What the sized intercooler is on that E30?!
Jesus.
I remember seeing some nutter who put an 80's 335 / M5 motor into an E30 body, and they boosted the out of it with some bigass mangler turbo (GT35RS or bigger). He used a small transport truck intercooler LOL |

if that isnt a chop its just an expensive accident waiting to happen.
the tires look reasonably serious, but for that size of intercooler, you would be making far more power than a car that size needs. plus the thin bumper is right up against that - not good| |

They made Polo's with the same color-concept. I don't get it at all, they're horrible, just plain horrible. :o
I think the name for that model is infact, Polo Color-concept |

Dude, I love these with their tasty little flared arches. It's my favourite mid-modern hot hatch. Classic being the original Golf GTi and most recent being the new Fiat 500 Abarth and the Renaultsport Clio 192.
How are they to drive? Do you have to wind the piss out of the engine the get anything out of it? I bet it handles like a go-kart. |

yes its like a gokart, its only 1000kg and 120hp, and being so small its quite cocky in traffic.. its my type of car 100% :) citroen saxo is also good, its almost the same design, but 106gti/rallye are suppose to be a little better |

Like animal watching in safari parks, fans would be placed on low-loader buses going around the track while the drivers and their mean race GT500 and GT300 machines go against each other around the twisty 5.543-kilometer track. |
Also, have any of you been to a 24 Hours LeMons event? |

Damn I wish I owned one of those.. A kitcar replica would be fine as well. I'd love to build my own car one day, but I don't have the money, tools or space right now..
Has anyone here ever started a project like that?

FYI: Abarth is a brand of its own, they are licensed to sell the 500's under their own name. You won't find a single reference to Fiat on an Abarth 500. There's no such thing as a Fiat 500 Abarth (essentially, they're competitors in this way). |

I've been to LeMans twice, and will be going back again this year.
It's great racing value. Bring a backpack full of beer and red bull and it's a great time. Fantastic atmosphere.

hahaha , good call! I totally missed that (and didn't even click the link lolfail :D:D
I've only seen the LeMons on tv but it would be totally something that me and my friends from back home would enter. We'd be total pro's based on the years of automotive buggery we've been through. |

My dad's looking to pick up one of these kit cars soon. Can't wait! I told him to hurry up and I'll take his '07 ZO6 off his hands, haha. He didn't laugh. :confused: |
