Here is a pic of Udos car after he went a little to fast and lost control at the ring, he was not used to these tires. I trust his judgment, he drives like a bat out of hell, and has countless laps around the ring.
I can hear Gustl b from here, P.S. the other car to the right of the photo I was asked not show it. Sorry... Quilmes Attached image(s) |

I think the car is a little lighter without the drivetrain.

Sorry to see your friend's car all bashed. Maybe he's smiling because he's not all bashed up. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
Interesting tread pattern - do you know what kind of tires those are? As so many have said in your other photo thread, great 914 photography! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) |

Those tires are some flavor by Pirelli, maybe the PZero Corsa. Not available in 15" I believe

They look like a set of Dunlops I had. Someone gave 'em to me for FREE. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) I had 225 - 50 - 15's on the back and 205 - 50 - 15's on the front. I was told they are not available in the Amreican market and they came from Japan. They were very good track tires. They had good grip and lasted a long time. Sorry about your car Udo.

Is that Udo's blood type next to his name on the sticker on the door just in front and above the number circle? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif)

I would have to say yes. Are you in need of his Blood, He's a nice guy, I am sure that for a 914 member he would not mind given some up. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) |

yes we used the"celette"just to make sure everything is straight,about 4 or 5 weeks later we were back to the nürburgring ------a lot of hard work but it was worth it---- talk a look "quilmes
by the way we finally changed the tires back to the good old Yokos 032 R ............much better Udo mentioned during extensiv testing at Spa Franchorchamps in late october Attached image(s) |
