Wow, what a transformation!

Can't wait to hear some stories once the beast is on the track.

Ok, I log into this thread expecting to see some backyard project that *might* run someday....

... and instead I see a totally custom, full-on race build with ITBs and tens of thousands of dollars worth of work, that makes 99.9% of us look like worthless newbs in comparison.

Frickin' sweet. Thank you so much for posting, I love it! PLEASE keep us updated!

Wow, very impressive work, Norbert. Welcome aboard, it's easy to see you're going to be a valuable addition to the forum!

I really like the "ultra-streamlined" car you show in your last picture. It's so streamlined you can't even see it anymore!

Do you push it with your feet like Fred Flinstone too (hope you recognize that American tv reference), or is that merely an optical illusion??

Dude, you have to make motor noises too when you're doing s&^t like that. Otherwise it's not official.



Seriously, welcome again! Very nice work.
