Nice work, and thanks for sharing the pics of the project! I must admit I think Mk1's definitely need a front valance spoiler, otherwise the front end always looks too high!

Post by **Frits** » 21 Jun 2006 12:08 pm

Yes.. indeed. The front looks too high without spoiler. But, I want to keep the outside complete standard. The car realy need te be paint, but I don't have the money for that. When I mount the spoiler I think the car have to look good.. the whole car.

But when the exterior is standard, It doesn't matter that the car of 25 years old don't look perfect... And it's more funny at the stoplight.

And, I always can make the car look good.. when I have enough money

I ordered a set of OMP springs (Yes!!

)

OMP makes springs for 300-series too? I've seen only 850 in their catalogs.. But if they do make, where can those be bought.

My OMP springs just arrives:

That will be a good combination with the also new ajustable koni's.

I Almost can complete the clutch now. I hope i can put the engine in quick, but also than is there a lot to do before it will even run..

I have sent a mail about the costs...

In here a shop called US-Parts ( http://usparts.locomail.com/ ) sells those clutches too, they have price catalog in their pages also. In here a solid sinter clutch for B200E costs 238 euros +22% VAT.

I hope here in dutch they use the same prices! A clutch for my car would be about 85 or 105 euros.. Thats not extreme expensive.

Oh yeah and by the way, clutch discs from VW Golf and some Opels work too. Makkiver has a 228mm sintered clutch disc from VW Golf in his 360 turbo. Pressure plate is a Sachs Turbo 228mm. He says that it was a bolt on job, bores were same, he used 0,7-0,8mm washers as a shim plates and it works good.
