Default Blue bomber update... now with PICS

Hey guys, haven't posted here in a while. Life has been busy....

Will post some pics asap, but the track car is finally nearing 'completion' (whatever that is).

Have installed:

- RSCS rear wing and Gt2 front splitters
- adjustable sways & drop links
- lowered to RS -1.5cm height
- sunroof plug
- new wheels (wait for pics )
- OMP halo seat
- Paul Guard LSD
- golden rod
- a few other random bits....

Interior is now completely stripped out, full weld-in cage. I have some ERP rear suspension goodies (thx Steve) that will make it on the car in August.

She looks good from 20 feet and is going to be a weapon on the track. Next stop... Cup car

Oooh yeah, the cup car thing. Well, getting the itch. Rob's car is awfully tempting, but I'm also looking at a few '6 cups.

Short Wheel Base Audi Quattro Sport. Very rare and very nice indeed. Pretty expensive new, worth a lot now I would imagine.

Youdaman!

I am still trying to get my *** slimmed down to fit in my GT3 seats, hence the lack of urgency...

Good to see you back.

Really cool car. I didn't realize there were any in Canada but since it's more than fifteen years old it would be very easy to import.
