Lada driftcar / racecar

[DutchM3S50]

Hey Mancs,

I got myself a LADA 2101 from 1987....
I allready have the SPAX shockabsorbers..
AND the volvo B21ET engine...

The car is in latvia now... I'm going to pic it up in april somewhere..
And drive it back to the netherlands..

I will service it first before driving back...

Wenn the time is there i'll order the special box for the power steering..

So it starts again

Firstly, I stripped the car, and welded some wheels under it, so I can move it around:



Started to cut out the rusty parts:



Then I removed this:


From here:


The new RCI racing fuelcell will be mounted here, lower than the factory fueltank, and the battery as well. It will get a strong frame, a light, but very strong bottom plate, to protect, and very very thin aluminium, or plastic cover all around.

Also sorted out the front suspension, I'l update later on that.

Cheers

Little update

So we are having a fantastic winter this year, with lots of snow! Finaly, I have a car, and snow as well

The car has survived quite well. It already done around 300ish km-s in snow, and its doing good so far. Although the clutch must be repaired, it's slipping in third If the car isnt sideways, its slipping, fix= the car must be always sideways

Untill yesterday it didnt had any battle scars, but we found a very fast road to practise on, witch was downhill, and covered with ice of course My friend managed to touch the barrier a bit, but nothing serious.

Also, two pics, nothing extra, as the camera died when we finally started to make photos...




Lets hope it will snow again, and that the clutch will be fixed by than
Cheers!

Started to build a rotisserie. I should have made one earlier, but oh well...:
From this:


To this:


I need to finish it up, but I dont have to much mood for working in 30cm snow

Also bought my self a pair of these:


And I love 'em!
