    After 7 Years of ownership - a lot of sweat and tears later - i finally arrived at a point where i can confirm to have a „nice driver“

    Protip # 42
    Fit adjustable Shock absorbers in the front;
    this fixes the issues of beeing too soft

    Protip # 57
    Swapping the diff from factory 3,54 to a 2,88
    together with the manual transmission makes a world of a difference



    work will never be finished - but i still enjoy every drive! Cheers!

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
