It's only a matter of time till the feds totally cut us off from most aftermarket pipe options in the US. as it is, they are already putting a lot of pressure on exhaust system importers to only sell DOT legal pipes. I think they are not accepting the "For competition use only" excuse to be able to sell louder/freer flowing pipes to the general public....


Some french guy turned from the wrong direction into a one way street, nearly colliding with a little blue colored Renault Clio. In it 2 man in uniform. Never seen someone leaving his car so quickly, waving with his arms, face turned red. That poor Frenchmen that drove the wrong direction, must have had a shitty day.

In France never try to collide with these cars:

Dang!,...that's a bad excuse for a police car...., At least from an American's (Land of the wild police chase reality shows) perspective...

Even Colombo's old Peugeot might have been faster than that little blue econobox.....

That all depends on the engine inside....

When my wife moved to NL in the 90's, she took her Clio 1.8i 135HP with her. Weighing under 1,000kg.

In NL, people pretty much only knew the 1.2 58HP version.

Manier VW Golf/Rabbit driver was left thinking "WTF was THAT???" :goofy:

Hi ! Happy new year ! I hope everyone here had a good Xmas !

Some news of my work !

Subframe has been painted, but due to the low temperature here the paint isn't really stiff....

That color looks familiar.

Also, that is the first time I have seen someone use a beer bottle to mask for paint.

LOL, me too. Australia servicemen were in France in WW2, you might want to look into your ancestry :goofy:

The paint looks ace and polished wheels will really set it off. I polished mine in 1998 and the 4th Gen rear wheel is an absolute work of art when polished.

Almost finished !!!!!

She's bak on her wheels after a while ! The tach is now all connected, I'll have to adjust it when the engine will run.
The rear wheel is not yet polished, and the exhaust is not attached to the rear buckle. But the hardest part (the wiring) is now done !!
