net car show.com

looking for some pictures of the lancia delta s4 rally, i stumble upon this site - netcarshow.com

seeing some lancias and other makes made me think ti is worth sharing, althought the mitsubishi line is not complete because the 2002 and down models were not included.

lancia 037 rally

lanciarally037.com

it's the website for you 037 fans out there. the site is in italian. but with a little help from google chrome's auto-translation feature, it's a breeze to browse their pages.

i would say the website is so complete as can be, that they even have technical drawing about the 037.

why did i put it here? learning the lancia delta rally should not be limited by the car alone. one should everything that surrounds that car, even the ecv prototype.

change of plans

unfortunately, i have to move the target date of completion for another year. funds will be used as down-payment for the new house we bought. i'll use the time to ponder on a different goal for the colt - lancia delta s4 group b rally setup.

quick release hoax

unfortunately, the quick release seller was a hoax... the purchase didn't push through because of unknown reasons.

i was there at 9am and informed him that i will be waiting. one hour passed and not a single message or ring. i phoned him at 10am to tell him i cant wait any longer because of my tight schedule. and guess what - his phone is turned off.

i waited the whole day for him to contact me. there might be a good reason for that. and still - no message at all.

early monday morning, i checked his ad and the whole ad was deleted. what an experience.

quick release: shiny and almost new

just found the quick release this morning. the price is a quarter of a brand new unit. even if it's second hand, it's only used for a day. so, technically, it's new. the last two quick release adapters i was aiming to buy are sparco's: colored blue and red and priced at three thousand pesos a set. so, for an unbranded unit that costs 1500 pesos, i just have to test it for it's reliability. i can't wait for sunday.
