I love the look.Clean and sexy- like fresh from the drawingboard.Timeless.
The Mirror is also stylish.
I use chrome on my 1977 as well.

Interesting exercise but it has totally destroyed the 50/50 weight bias of the 924. Now the polar moment is as bad as the 911.  _________________ 1979 924 NA race car H-Prod SCCA

Yes , your absolutely right.That wrong Motor positioning is one of the bad points.But this car is not made to be ideal.Next time place the engine right behind the seats.......  _________________ NA 924 - april/1977- 4-speed-audi gearbox.

The Beetle engine is very light and it is not actually that bad.
But I have dreamed about a 924 with GTR bodykit equipped with built 928 32v engine and twin turbos mounted in mid position (quite easy with 951/S2 gearbox).
One guy here in Estonia took a Lada 2105 chassis and put Audi A8 4.2 V8 with 016 gearbox in the middle. Quite fun car
Also friend of mine had a Audi coupe Typ85 drift car with Audi 2.2 20V turbo mounted in the middle. Here's a 1st start vid of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gR_HDFwa3gQ _________________ '83 924 2.6 16v Turbo, 470hp

I like the shaved washer nozzles on the hood, I guess he uses RAIN-X and avoids using it on rainy days _________________ 1979 924 NA |
