Thats typical, get the car sorted & some idiot rams you. At least you are ok & the car can be fixed over time. Let us know how you get on?

hello again , not much progress with the bodywork

the insurance... doesn`t have money

to give me.. at least... that`s what they are saying !
Changed the lower arm bushes and balljoints ... did a little work at the driveshafts ! and a little work on the back ! had a little trouble with the hoses from turbo to the intercooler.. they were loose .. so all it`s fine now ... 0-100 km/h happens in 8.5 sec , maybe better in good conditions ! my target was to beat a stock valver ! now.. that`s no problem now... it will be easy.. getting it to do 60mph in 6.5 sec.. will be the next challenge ! also.. to pull hard all the way to the top speed!

well .. it is not very fast on 400m the c4 ! it goes like hell up over 150 km/h ! the filming in the back was done by a saxo vts 100 bhp !
Anyway ... next week i will do some training with a golf mk5 GTI and a civic type-r (the new one) both of them stock ! by next week i will increasa the boost a little

just to be sure

after a long time... of searching ... found one of the few.. existing ones ;D in search of a bigger intercooler... and in search of money for the clutch ... and i decided.. it needs a rollcage ... so until spring ... it is work to be done ;D

But like... many things on this car... it doesn`t fit perfectly ... ( it is made out of fiberglass ... i was told.. it was made by a maniac.. in 90`s ... he made a mold.. and made 2 or 3 body kits ... put it beside an original one and didn`t spot a difference !)

new parts are in
new exhaust
new gearbox (BE3 -td )
termo band for the exhaust
new simota air filter

in coming
new intercooler
new clutch
new recaro seat(only for the driver... the rest can hold on

)
new light weight rims

and other minor stuff

Just a few questions:

Where do you need rollcage for? Im quite sure your BX doesn't have so much power that the chassis would twist around..

And dont put a recaro seat!! They're ugly as hell! Stick to 16V original seats, they're much more comfortable, and look a lot better!

Thumbs up for new IC
