It was a hood bulge intended for a Peugeot 205 kit of some sort, I got it off ebay for £10

Here it is:

After I clicked on your link, I got

Code: Select all

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=rofR--y14T4

That's where we start.

The crown jewel of posting these videos is the video's unique ID. It usually (always?) follows v=

So the important bit is v=rofR--y14T4. Nothing else matters.

So the assembly begins:

1. http://www.youtube.com/watch? start with that
2. then put in the crown jewel v=rofR--y14T4

Code: Select all

3. then wrap it in the YouTube tags and click Preview to make sure it works

Code: Select all

Thanks Matthew, I wonder what's wrong with it

That. Looks. Fun.

I love the pictures of a station wagon coming around corners in a cloud of smoke. And the "new" hood looks much, much better!

Sure thing, Claymore.

Your car is awesome, but I can't get over how it is completely and totally overwhelming for the front wheels. Too bad it's not an AWD R.

What if you put on insanely wide slicks on the front, just for the track events?

I have got slicks for the quarter, but I wasn't allowed to run them on this day as it wasn't competition, just for fun, and boy was it fun

Ah, smart man! What does it run in the 1/4 mile? And is it a true 1/4 mile or just 1000 feet?

Yes it is a real 1/4 mile, the times aren't very good yet (due to the driver) best I've done is a 14.8, but it has had a bigger turbo and a new exhaust since then.
