here are a few pics from my little one






I use it a lot one the Nurburg ring to test my parts and see how well they last :


Besides the Subaru my friend and I also have an old 190e Mercedes for fun:

thats what it looked like in December 2009


then I added Carbon Interior


New wheels and lowered suspension


Test drive on the ring to see how it drives


After final settings we decided to paint it, because white was a bit boring on a merc


so we went for flat black and Lambo green


and then we entered the GLP races on the Nurburg ring




On Sept 4th we have the next race.
Each is 12 laps

Details:
Numbers:
12/92 registered
280.000 KM
160 HP RWD
2.6 Liter

Changes:
Wider wheel arches
205/50/15 Toyo T1R
Melber alloys
Paint mat black/ lambo green stripe
New suspension lowered 45/45 (with the tires it is now 65/65 lower) (settings are even more race oriented than the Sportsline from Mercedes)
New brakes all around (discs & pads from Brembo)
New brake lines
New Air filter
Racing seats
4 point seatbelt
All oil was changed
All interior removed (total 60 KG weight reduction)
Total weight (full fuel and water tank 1240KG)

Best time on the ring was 10:28 but the tires are not the best, so more is possible)

We use it for races at the ring now, in our class we came twice in the top 20 so far (out of 50).

now there are more stickers on the car will update soon.

hope you like it.

greets
Simon

I have to say, I'm a bit in love with the ring

I go there about 10 times a year. We have the 7 races and then some times for fun
Now that i have my racing license it is way saver to drive there during a race, because the other drivers have some experience and don't cars the car all the time
