after 2 years like that, I decide to make some modifications.....

it ll be for another time, it s time to sleep for me ;)

[rennsport]

ok lets go
january 2011

It was time to upgrade the brakes and the body...
4 944 turbo calipers, 4 Sebro sport discs, 4 red Koni, big front and rear sway bars

[rennsport]

after this , there was a problem....my Fuch touch the caliper, need spacer but at the rear haven t place to do that... so I decide to change the wheels ( the 3 rd) :D

http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/7205/capturedcran20100715223.png

but the color is not for good for me ( the silver one are with an 35mm offset this one 45mm)
It s BBS LM replica , other probleme they are in 5 x112 not 5 x 130 so I made adapters ...

Nice to see the full history of the bus on here, I keep an eye on GL.org for an extra dose of GL :D

Hi Rich

give us news too

[hotsauce]

Beautiful lowlight. I was contemplating subie power for my bus...... but the type IV won out.

[ricola]

Hi Rich

give us news too

I would but very little progress lately due to a string of useless trimmers! I have to find number 3 now...

[SportyBug]

Beautiful bus and it sounds great too. I would like to know more about your wheel spacers. I have been thinking of running 5x112 Subaru wheels as well. Do you have any advice or feel that the spacers are not safe?

[rennsport]

the subaru wheels are not in 5 x112 , I have 10mm adapter on the front and 15mm on the rear, no probleme for the moment...

I ll more safe if I have porsche wheels !!!, but BBS LM in 17" have 10mm offset

not good for my bus, and I didn t want to fit 18" wheel, perhaps a set of RH turbo twist in 17 ...

[Bogara_ZO]

Very nice ride!
BTW I have a set of genuine BBS LM 7,5x17 ET38 5x112 all around. Thinking of selling them..let me know if you are interested.

[rennsport]

Hi
My ones are in 5 x112 too...but my brakes are in 5 x 130

[Bogara_ZO]

Hi
My ones are in 5 x112 too...but my brakes are in 5 x 130

OK, just in case if you are not happy with your offset, or want original LMs.
BTW what is that gold color yoou are using? It looks like genuine BBS gold, very nice ;)

[rennsport]

original LM in 5 x 130 and 7,5 x17" have an offet 15mm can fit on my bus If I want to fit real LM with no adapter, I need 18" ones, too hight for me, prefer 17". In the futur perhaps I ll need to remove the adapter and fit 5 x 130 wheels. mine at this moment,are in 5 x 112 ET 45.
BBS sale the real paint on their website, I used Volvo maya gold paint

Very nice bay! Great details! Must be fun to drive!

[rennsport]

thanks
It s really fun to see the face of the T5 drivers when I passed them on the highway at 180 km/h :D

I do some mods on the Martin Bott oil sump, a welded bung for the oil temp sensor and a oil control baffle ( the oil light is on when I make big brake :rolleyes:) and modify the clutch pedal and rebuilt the axles ( changing the CV boots )

repare now and go faster !!! Go to 105 mph with the 4th gear , and after past the 5th, the speed go back to 99 , I need a road slightly in descent to went to 112 mph.I can t test the max speed for the moment

with the garmin gps , I ve test the speed, 0/60mph in 8,5 seconds just good with my little 2,5l non turbo :smt023

So the police take me my driving license for 2 months...too speed :smt018

Waiting is too long....

I can 't fit the Kamei or I need a smaller one, Now with my friend Low ( Lowelding workshop) we are on a brainstorming about the assisted steering , we want to create a plug and play kit for buses....

I ll change the exhaust , the mine is too small ( good for a EJ20 or EJ22 n/a)
fit the first one i have but change the muffler...

I m waiting for my carbon parts for the engine , looks good ...I ll can sell them for all subaru EJ turbo or not ( will show you here after)
