The long wait finally paid off!
Still a few little things to do but getting close to an end. The RX7 Turbo kit in front and rear rocks! See by yourself:

looks, and i am sure performs, great. like the rims too. are you able to actually turn without rub? the rake is a little heavy for me for a GL, but looks bada$$ nonetheless.

Thanks for the comments guys.
Kleinporsche, I'm still in Algiers, dont know for how long still but i guess it won't see Quebec's road for at least a few months. That would be cool to meet by then though.
The rake is a bit too much I agree, that was only to be pretty on the picture. :cool: The final adjustment I did on the sway-a-way is low but not that low. That will be good for hyway and parking. I installed monroe's inflatable shocks and inboard compressor so I can get it adjusted from the driver seat (I know what you think, not optimal for handling but I had to compromise for the road condition here...). I just got it aligned and after the first few kilometers, all I can say is the handling is amazing! And the adjustable shocks allow me to fly over speed bumps without scratching everything like before.
If you want and can read French you can visit my blog about the project at http://projet-coccinelle.blogspot.com/ (otherwise, you can still see pics! :) )
There is still afew things to be done (are we ever done with these project anyhow?:D ) so I'll try to update you guys.
Ciao

Louis,

Your welcome. And it really looks great. Just be careful trying to speed around your desert town, you might hit some camels!
