That's very cool, nice Lada, I have to admit

Snowdriver · July 31st, 2005, 11:53 PM

Well, TopGear did give one Lada to the blokes at Lotus, and they worked their magic on it, and it came out stunning, definitely a car that would turn heads

Oh, nice work on your Lada, keep us updated

I remember the old tg episode where they brought a busted lada, and put a lotus engine in it and tuned that thing.. it actually looked super cool.. i just loved it, the interior the exterior and from the look of it the engine too.. i hope you end up with a great machine.. ladas are the true cars

nice work and keep it up

^they did put £100 000 in that car, don't think mancs wants to spend that amount of money

mancs · August 1st, 2005, 11:05 AM

Yeah

Well if i win the lottery, than sure

I know that the Lancia delta turbo engine fits on the Lada transmission... And thatis around 180 Hp stock

So maybe in 2-3 years

But now, no money for that

mancs · August 1st, 2005, 11:10 AM

Lemme show you guys some pics of a nother fan's car:

Its lovely

Mine is gonna be somthing like this to.

Cruzz563 · August 1st, 2005, 11:21 AM

It is nice, tho I like the size of wheels/tires TG used on 'their' Lada, it fit the car just right, imo

Dr. Woo · August 1st, 2005, 11:25 AM

This is so cool! I love stories about the underdogs...the unexpected performers. This car is a perfect example. Lightweight, RWD...two variables in a formula for excellence.

agreed

bone · August 1st, 2005, 11:36 AM

why aren't the inside of the doors painted?

Cruzz563 · August 1st, 2005, 11:41 AM

They just haven't fitted the door panels yet, if they are, they may not since it looks like a pure racer.

Yeah thats the best, when something look ordinary, untill....

Here in hungary we have many cars like these.

Fiat 125P

1.9 tdi engine ~200-250 hp 300-400 NM with ~400kg 8)

Lada turbo (~250-300hp ~900kg 1/8 mile 8,7 sec):

Fiat 850 (~150hp+600 kg)

Lancia (~500hp ?kg)
1/8 mile: 7,3 sec

So

more pic mansc! nice car..

bihus · August 15th, 2005, 5:40 PM

Nice workplan... I've seen a lot of those last weeks in Czech Republic and Hungary. And as someone mentioned before, the Lotus tuned one looked great. Use it as inspiration

mancs · August 16th, 2005, 8:03 PM

Alright, here is some update.

First of all, the rear suspension:

I know its ridiculous

Here is a real life photo to:

The stabilisers are for blocking the rear bridge to move front and back, the panhard is for blocking the rear bridge to go right and left. Easy

. Its vey primitive. And having only one panhard is

. The MKII escorts have two:

Its much better, becouse when you put some wieght on the cars back, and there is only one panhard, the rear bridge will move in one direction, cos its traveling on a radius:

Okay, so i am renewing all the stabilizers. I have made the short ones so far. Painting, and new ... ruber parts (I dunno howits called in english, its called szilent in hungarian) , that are much harder then the stock one's are. It will make the car much better handeling.

So here they are:

In the middle is the tool that i used for putting in the "szilent"-s. It took me some time to figure out the tool to use, coz this ruber is realy hard. But hey, its done now

Alright, will update soon
