Default Awesome - Our suspension stuff for next season

I had to get up very early in the morning today to make my way to Idol-Motorsports, the german Honda-racing adress No. 1. But I`m happy to show you the following pics I took, after work was done and hands were clean again.

CTR-owners, take a look:
This is the first and only one at the moment. We`re aiming to build the fastest track-CTR in Germany. All that stuff had been cut out of a massive aluminium block. The spring work is supported by Eibach:



AP-Racing brakes and goodrich steel flex wires...




This is the left front of #01858. Aluminium shock, Eibach double springs, teflon dome.




The rear:




This Idol-ITR is still for sale. It`s fully equipped and race-ready, but street legal. It ran 1,51 at Spa and 1,15 at Hockenheim.

Yeah, better block out the imprinted springs specifications. God forbid we should know what specific springs you're running, and become the fastest track-CTR in Germany.

Ooops sorry, we're in the United States, most of us are.

Sorry man,
I know what you mean but those pictures are seen in Germany too...

I had to promise to block out the specs to the chief. Not my fault.

Did you make those pieces by yourself? (as in self- you used the machine to do it)

correct.

Idol began to make the alu-shocks in 2002. Huge difference to everything known. Eibach makes the springs and supports the project.

The new CTR is a pure project car. It`s so damn fast already, I`m dying to run some laps next year
