So, after buying a touring and working on it to get it road worthy, i decided to join up my dad in corsica... Kind of a euro cross-country bash. I left brussels @ 7:pm, got to the harbor in nice, france @ 6:00am (1200kms total) to take the ferry to Ajaccio, Corisca.
Here is the Ferry.. pretty crazy thing, does 37 knots fully loaded
The car ran awesome, great power, just a slight overheating @ 180kph, i guess the turbo got red hot.. saw a couple sparks fly out the back of the car :? so i slowed her down to 160kph, and all went well.
So far i've only (well axel has) turned up the boost.. new stereo and tires)..
Stereo consists of Pioneer deck w/ red illumiation
This w/ black face and red buttons..' cheap and does the job..
Since my cousin here is exclusive importer for CERWING VEGA for europe i picked up some of their components at a good price. Got some euro dins for the rear doors and some 5 1/4 components up front, sounds awesome.
Future plans for her are just some wheel hubcaps and an intercooler.
To the pix:
Little overlook on the d555 route to CAMPO MORO
In the Harbor of PROPRIANO parking... next to a US spec cabby ;-)
and lastly on the beach next to PROPRIANO
Something cool that happened in CAMPO MORO is i parked it overnight and came the next day to drive it somewhere.. and i spotted a B3 3.2 ALPINA e36 touring with BBS LMs on it parked... i drooled over the car so much that i didn't notice my car and kept walking... when i got confused of where i parked my car, i turned around it,... and it was behind the alpina :-)
Anyways,
comments and suggestions welcome.
