Your car looks good at the track. Good shots of the suspension getting loaded.

Redridge, here is a picture of a 99 mk1 GT3 that was for sale a couple months ago on the PCA website. It was imported into the US on a special exemption. It was in South Lake Tahoe. Chuck Jones was going to go look at it until he found out that the exemption only allowed it to be driven 2,500 miles per year. That would be torture. It is one of my favorite cars ever built. With the mods you have done to your car, yours looks better both inside and out. I'm sure yours would leave the original in it's dust.

thanks Mark, but at the end of the day its not a gt3... The blue is so sweet, yours is gonna turn heads everywhere you go. One of these days, Im gonna have to get the real deal, even though it will be a bit slower...

Hello Teflon-Jones, Audi;

Thanks for the compliments, I have Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires sizes 225/40f, 285/30 rear mounted on 8.5x18, 10x18 ACE design wheels (they are relatively inexpensive and relatively light).

The suspension is the H&R Clubsport, modified to work with a C4. At the time of this picture I had GT3 anti-roll bars, GT3 Cup rear suspension arms.

To this I have added custom rear toe links.

Next modification, funds willing will be a new suspension.

Cheers!
