it's been quite some time without updates, so it's time restart them

.

in this update the pug gets a "cooler"

hatch:

we also relocate the battery, fit new side mirrors and leave for another race:

you can find the second part of the Phase 7 story (with 45 pics) on THIS PAGE.

the report from (a not so successful) 402 Street Race in Velika Gorica coming very soon!

and some more great news: 205 Mi32 has been thoroughly tested & homologated
for road use, with the new name and all the mods noted in the car's papers!

thanks.

and here's the story about our 3rd event of the season:

402 Street Race - Velika Gorica (CRO) - 16-17/Jun/07

this time we had driven the car onto the race (200 km's)

.

DAY 1:

- qualifications (only one run available) - against a tuned Honda Civic. we hadn't
synchronised the clutches after the trip, so the result wasn't great, but we manually
chose to compete in the 14 secs class.

- the first round of the race in 14 secs class was against a Fiat Coupe Turbo.
unfortunately, my father made a huge tactical error - although he had a large lead,
he completely misjudged the finish line so he let the throttle off way before the end
of the race and hence bizzarely lost by 0.1 secs!

later during the day, the race was cancelled due to a storm (continued tomorrow
morning) so we decided to head back home and come back in VG in the morning.

DAY 2:

- in today's qualifications, we were lined up with a very fast RS4-engined Audi A4.
we again opted to run in 14 secs class.

- the first round was against an Audi S3 and it was quite an easy win.

- the 2nd round was against a mk3 Golf VR6 Turbo. this was also going to be an
easy win... but the first mechanical problem of this season happened - one of the
guides for the rear shifter rod fell out and the introduced play in the linkage disabled
the selection of the 3rd gear

.

this was obviously a very bad race weekend for us and we didn't meet our expectations,
but we'll have another chance soon...

you can see the full picture story (with 19 pics) on THIS PAGE.

video of 205 Mi32 @ 402SR Velika Gorica coming very soon!

thanks.

while Phase 7 is still in progress, it's time to start another Phase:

Phase 8: Turbocharging The Rear Engine

the twin-engine concept has proven itself with standard engines,
so now it's time to start adding power, with help of booooosssstttt

.

the first part of the Phase 8 story is all about acquiring the most important parts:

and getting custom bits and pieces made too!

you can find the first part of the story (with 32 pics) on THIS PAGE.

Which class do you qualify for now? Since it's both a turbo and not

4WD class?
