If someone now cries out: "what the hell has this
chap done to this beautiful car !?!", i can say for calming, that everything
is rebuildable without any dents or holes left.
And who knows? Perhaps in 1-2 years i can't see it anymore...
1600 dual-port by "Riechert-Tuning",
That delivers a performance of approx. 80 DIN HP.
Enough for me (until now).
With the "short" transmission it runs
about 155 km/h, at 5.400 rpm's on the "Autobahn"
Red KONI's all around, at the front the short
ones from the Opel (Vauxhall) Kadett C for the adjustable front beam. The whole thing was
brought 6cm's down to the street, naturally with "Caster Shims",
the swing axle-sway bar is still resting in my garage.
5-lug discbrake-system by NEAL-Performance
(USA) with drilled rotors at the front. At the rear, drums with Porsche 924
wheel brake cylinders. Braided steel brake-hoses.
Front: 155/15 tires
on 4 1/2 inch Porsche 356-rims (Mangels). Rear: 185/70/15 tires on 5 1/2 inch Porsche
356-rims (also Mangels).
Clock and fuelgauge were exchanged against a
tachometer in original look with an integrated fuelgauge. To the place of the
original fuelgauge an original VDO oiltemperaturegauge came. This kit is available
at "House of Ghia" for US$ 299,--. I had to rebuild the tach for 6 volts.
