So there is no point in running rear wiper or rear view mirror with WRC spoiler?


Nice motor though Maybe Rally Norwey gets into WRC - i'll go to spectate then next year maybe I can see it

You run studded tires for snow? :-D

The probelm is I can't get used to trusting fully that tires will grip. But then again I drive much faster then people in normal countries During Sweidish Rally I was fastest car on road all the time overtaking everything (if you here some sories about cherry coloured Scoobie with some maniacs inside this were we)

by the way..sorry to hear about youre cossi azrael...
have you thought about what to do?
Thx mate. If I don't find a spare bodyshell I'm going to fix it as it schould be done in first place. One last try to it. Only worried abouut parts supplies running dry - maybe that I do bodyshell but won't be able to drive it in future because of some minor bits impossible to buy :-(

Roads are almost free from snow here now, but still got about 1/2 metre of snow. I live close by Oslo Airport...

Anyway, here is a sneek preview of soon to be my car, deposit is paid. Expect to pick it up within a week.... Plenty of changes to be made to it though.

Beste eksemplaret av alle de jeg har kikket pĺ hverfall... Ikke rusten og oppbrukt som mange er.
Han fortalte at han hadde prřvd og fĺ tak i den fřr og, men ikke klart det...
Nye felger, dyser, chip, 3 bar map, bensinpumpe, clutch, stoler, blinklys, baklykter, motorfester og sikkert masse annet jeg har glemt skal hvertfall monteres i lřpet av kort tid.

I'm sure there is a website somewhere that can translate the norwegian if youre that nosey
Got a set of 18" Raceline RL7 that are getting new paint next week ready to go on the car when I pick it up.

Not sure what to do with the Compomotive MOs yet. Depends on what brakes I'm getting... TarOx 6pots with 305mm discs or AP 4pots with 330mm discs. If I get TarOx then I dont need the Compomotives...

I am nosey and lazy LOL. It'll be easier if you just write it all again in english hahahaha.

If you don't need the compomotives please let me know, I'm still looking for another set since my car was stolen. Oh, I think you should get the TarOx

Only advantage of being norwegian, having a language that only a few people understand
Only joking, I was just telling Lowman about the car, and that it was imported from Switzerland.
Must be something special about these Compomotive MOs, everybody wants them. Which is exactly why I dont want them! MOs and Rondells are on all these Escorts
I was also telling him that I've got plenty of other bits ready for the car including the 18" Raceline RL7s, new injectors, 3 bar map, chip, fuel pump, Alcon clutch, smoked front indicators, red/smoked rear lights, upgraded enginemounts, Momo Acropolis seats and 3" harness, brakes, rs500 intercooler, samco/sfs hoses etc etc....

Naprawdę tak myslisz? Może po prostu dlatego ze to są języki indoeuropejskie? A może dlatego że mamy sporo łacińskich leksemów w języku polskim a portugalski to język romański? Pewnie właśnie dlatego.
