hehe.. Steve, why don't you buy one?

The weather today was unbelieveble good, so I wanted to repair my 340. The rear screen will take a lot of time, before its ok. I wonder what paintjob will give it a nice look. thinking about a white r-sport striping.

Steve, a picture specially for you :P

Its about time for a update!

Got a first type GLT spoiler!

What a beauty she is ;)

Image

And the damage, I don't know how to get it in the same colour... I think you will see it for ever. But i sould really try.

Image

22 April I will take my 340 to the racetrack zandvoort. Never been driving on it. I can't wait till its so far!

And i really should not crash my car, because 20 of Mei i going to a driftday in Lelystad. Holland. For the first time really free space to go sideways!

I also bough a second set of rear Koni's. They have a extra spring, they will get on my 340. I'm still searching for a second set of front koni's. Then I will lower my car for a 4 cm. There is also a extra antirollbar ready to mount!.

(And i still have a car wich do 0-60 in 15 seconds....) :D

Yesterday night, I mounted my rear koni's with the extra spring. Unbelieveble the difference with my standard suspension. With my hands i can only put the rear a few centimeters down.. Also big oversteer now, Smashing around makes me drift at dry tarmac, with the vario! :P I desided to put on the original wheels at the rear, it only gets better! Went to a safe place, and drifting around. Made movies, but is way to dark to see anything... :( My inner wheel gets completely lift now, so i cant drift on throttle, it is smashing and weight transfer.

Really need to do the front too... Difference between rear and front is rediculous. Already have the koni dampers, now i need time....
