So, a lot of things happened, I left out a lot of things, but lets jump to the present.

I started learning about suspensions, bought a few books, started designing, etc. And well, we have double wishbone front, but its the worst you can imagine... It has alot of POSITIVE camber gaining, its very big, so we cant incriese steering angle, so I started designing a new suspension. Well its still under development. But we will have negative camber gaining, zero ackermann, not to much castor, and much, much lowwer suspension. As with this suspension, if we go lower, the total geometry F-s up...

But these are my current settings: -1.5° camber, 6° castor 1-1mm toe IN. Its a mixed setup, cos the car isnt only for drifting, but minirally-s and slalom races as well. It handles quite nicely, but Idefenetly need bigger steering angle...

Other future plans:

New engine. Its going to be a fiat 2000ccm twincam. Mine is only refreshed with new bearings, etc, its going to be around 120-130 hp. Zolas engine is the same, but with cams, big valves, etc Aroung 160-ish hp. Its going to be awesome.

My engine sitting around:

Zola's:

Lancia camcover is just lovely:

I want to fit a pedalbox as well for more engine room. Becouse we are going to mount the engine back further, and much lower than it sits atm.

Btw, I love my trumpets, so you guys will see a lot of pictures of it

:

I centered my panhard as well, it was way to offset due the lowering. But finaly the rear is in good hight:

Panhard mod:

Also, there is no rear swaybar on a factory lada, so I fitted a fiat 125-s front swaybar:

Works like a charm.
