Yes.. it is a vario. With the slowest 1.4 engine (single carb, solex)

But with a lot of practice I can almost make 2 complete drifting circle's at a roundabout now, when its wet. Its soo fun.

Ohjeah, one thing to remember: the vario doesn't like wet conditions :roll: especially when youre plastic protection is gone..

I think my diff is dying again... I don't know the word, but if you lift gas, the shock is getting stronger. (But it doesn't making noise yet.. :D)

I have one on stock 8)

Wouldn't a manual swap be easier, if you're killing the vario units that quickly?!

cheers

Nice work - someone's gotta pimp the variomatic's :D

But yeah, if it's gonna get drifting abuse a manual swap would be a good idea :lol:
