Got some engine bay pictures & Running gear pictures? wont copy promise Chris edit just had a closer look at lap time . . . holy crap thats fast! Thanks, to be honest this is is pretty basic regarding suspension and running gear. Nothing too tricky but known to work well when combined together and driven HARD. Will get some pics over the next few days. The car was actually in Juiced Magazine, I think their first edition. or 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazda Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Nice.I see you're 0.1 of a sec quicker round puke than your old man, must be a bit of heated rivalry there? Im aiming for 1.02s in my car around Puke, there is plenty of room for improvement on the original time I did via handling/braking/learning to drive harder. The Levin hasnt had much track time + the driver hasnt had much either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazda Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 thats a clean lookin engine bay mate. very nice escort. still developing the car or just thrashing the ring out of it? Nothing has been done to the suspension in prob the last 5-6 years lol. Really its just maintaining it now. Some small eng tweeks and mods but nothing crazy. I've told him he needs to get rid of the glass and steel panels. Take all the interior out. It weighs over 1100kg with him in it! its too damn heavy lol.
