Questions about Aart-Jan's ride

...

And ofcourse a testride:

I've done several buildup things, last month!

People do like pictures, so here we go:



The little sidepanels and backpanel are removable:


The body back on the chassis:


Bottom-view:


Replaced the standard camberadjusters with some larger ones:


New rear-tires and cupstrebe installed:


Wiring:


Current result:

I placed some 10mm spacers at the front, in order to achieve factory scub-radius again. Scrub-radius also named kingpin-offset is responsible for the self-aligning of the steeringwheel and the feeling (of loosing traction) in your steeringwheel. Without the spacers the scrub-radius would be near zero/neutral, something you don't want with a Germanstyle car!

Some explaination: scrub-radius is 'A':

how much have you lowered the ride height.
cars is beutifull great work

[aartjan]

Thanks! But I really don't know how much the car is lowered, because it's build with parts from several cars. So I haven't got a reference.

However, I noted that this thread isn't updated anymore, so here are some new pictures from (more than) a month ago.

LED turnsignals, behind the horngrills and 911 lenses:


914 gauges, painted and chromed (steeringwheel is temporary):


Ahnendorp Road Racing exhaust (little bit too large for the current 1600, but suitable for future plans):


Current result:

Thanks! That is such a cool picture (just a shame about the reflection of that fella in the chrome bumper!!!)
