Or..not
Anways...streetracing is all the rage around here.Hell..we even managed fairly well at the "king of europe" shootout this summer.

..and..most of my friends are about as lobotomized as i am,so..the majority of you being german-i thought you might get a smile out of what my friends KG and Jonas has done.
The utter marriage of an old Opel Ascona and some brutal turbocharging of a 16V volvo engine.
Turbo..is a KKK K29 set to 2.4 bars of boost...and this thing runs the 1/4 english mile juuuuuuust a tad over 10 seconds..

Homebrew..with pride..in gotheburg guys





..and yeah...the front wheel go sky high even on the street when they find traction

Like i said Maki..racing of any form is really the rage these days.
Turbos?
Nah..i´m old fashioned hard core guy.
This..this is one of the cars I drive when i wanna go fast down the 1320 feet.



..and it so far plays in a different league that KG and Jonas´s car..
Just pure,raw,stinking volume n power..8 liters of it to be more exact..
Use a litte nitrous to get what i want tho,have to admit to that.
1284hp to be more exact..

Jesper -
i must say that you have i nice collection of cars
Btw the Turbo-engine from your friends KG and Jonas looks bad ass
But unlike U i'm at the moment more interested in Turboed Engines.
I'm faszinated about this topic- and i'm trying to learn as much as i can about Turbo-engines.
Bye

Maybe a topic in the tuning section about turbos?

[Maki]

Wouldn't be a bad idea

Frank.

The beater...is the 16V.
Honestly..it really needs some work,and it sure as hell isn´t a pristine car in any way.
Nor have i any intensions of making it pristine.

Cost of gas..approx 11 crowns a liter=1,2 euro
for super that is..

Insurance asf is dirt cheap
Those cars are considered classics..so..full coverage is what..approx 100 euros an annum.
