| Briskodian | Re: Skoda Estelle 1300 Turbo thanks mate! I have figured out why it is wonky! I needed to cut down the bump stops a huge amount to make the suspention work and after having a look today, i noticed that the bump stop on the high side isn't as sort and it looks like the car is resting on the bump stop!  see! a few more pritty shots   much nicer wheel to arch gap now!  especially when you look at the first pictures of it on page 1 |

 i have gone though a lot of thoughts about this car first was to turbo the standard skud engine i have spare second was to install a bug box and an impreza turbo engine third was a bike engine and box and i am finaly back at the turbo skoda engine plan the others required lots of cut and shut on the back end, and i didn't want to do that (been there and doing that with my rwd fav!)

| Re: Skoda Estelle 1300 Turbo Shame about the turbo... im trying to stay away from ebay now as there's just too many crooks on there now! lol Looking good though... looks soooo much better with it lowered down a bit... gone from stilletos to sensible work shoes! hehe As said above it will no doubt be very fun to drive and will probably have lots of comical value... should be pretty fast... suprisingly so!!!

| Briskodian | Re: Skoda Estelle 1300 Turbo new wheels time.... they are 15x8 off a beetle! 225/60 on the front and 265/60 on the back! the wheels are good, but the tyres are FAR too large.... so going for some low profile stretched rubber! Here is the standard skoda alloy next to the new wheels  big ent they!! rear  front  due to the centre bore, the front wheels don't seet properly atm.. so they stick out an extra 6 mm!     do you like??? |

| Briskodian | Re: Skoda Estelle 1300 Turbo some more stuff! today i purchased a 130 rear end, a bird bath spoiler and got a trial wheel from a mate to whip the tyre off and put on the big beetle wheels to check if they will actually fit!  wheel (i like the look but it won't fit due to pcd and offset is all wrong!  spoiler - needs a fair bit of work to make good!  this is a comparision on the difference in diameter of the tyres... huge difference!  |
