Talking Sunday drive in the San Diego Mountains

35 degrees, snow flurries, and lots, and lots of twisties...

Finally presenting Betsy Dunkleblau with high res photos. Is she black or is she blue? Both - non-metallic dark blue.

All the mods are in and done including the TechArt Type I spoiler and the Champion RG5 Monolites

Thanks to the forum, this is the best place to learn and share our love of P-Cars!!!

One last one

Interior pics.
I did the steering wheel in black and tan, and changed out the mats adding some carbon fiber, door sills, swapped out the incandescent bulbs to LED and painted the center console to match outside.

Very tastefully done car. I love the Champion RG5 wheels. I've had mine for a couple of years and love them every time I look at them. Thanks for the photos. Nice shots.

Dunk,
Very nice looking ride and I'm envious you're driving this time of year! We're officially at 252" of the white stuff and the drifts outside the house are 7' tall.

BTW, you do know that if you put in a roll bar, a bunch of harnesses and some racing seats you probably could do some track time.........oh, never mind; that was a different thread I had in a dream several nights ago.......best,

Nice car! Re the spoiler... is that a fixed spoiler? Does it produce the downforce offered by the moveable OEM unit at speed?

love the wheels! since when does SD drop down to 35 degrees? must be high altitude. be very careful driving under freezing temp. tires don't grip well.

may want to clear bra that CF sill soon.

Thanks!

spoiler deploys at speed, according to tech art it produces 8.3 lbs downforce compared to 4.8 lbs lift alone at 140 km/h
Bought it from sharky, here's the link and spec

Beautiful car with tasteful mods. Nicely done!! Believe it or not, I'm really liking the rock screen. DIY? Also, which aluminum pedals did you go with?
