We was not so wise...
After building the car for 3 years and now when it's driveable we couldn't resist, so we test drove it...
So we fixed the problem with the exhaust system, the front muffler was repositioned so we have higher ride height under the car.
The main concern we had was that car would be unbalanced, due the change of bolt pattern in the hub. And this was the most exiting part in the test drive, have we done a good job when re drilling the hub?
When test driving it, the car didn't give any signs of unbalance and the handling is awesome! First time I have to yell at my father to slow down when is pushing the car really fast at a small and curvy road
The lowering springs makes the car handle very good on the road and it felt very stiff compare to our other project car with the original suspension.
The engine have good response, the acceleration is great. When we did the test drive we run at 0.6Bar of boost.
0 - 170 Km/h didn't take long time...
We have installed a 6-pucked sinter clutch, at low speed it can be a bit tricky to handle but at higher speed it's no problem. When the clutch gets warmer it grips better and better.
We are very pleased with the test drive and the car!
And now we know we did a god job with the hubs and the engine have good performance and we go further to get more performance (bigger turbo, 3'' down pipe, ...)
Feel great that we have come this far with the project and we gonna still work with it, we got more plans...
