haha pain in the arse! the threads were fooked on the HnR Shocks, and needed a tap/die kit to clean up the threads! rolled a fat doob and then just cracked on using the KW shocks with the HnR springs.

Will get my tap n die kit back off my mate and sort the HnR shocks out soon!

Haha the cars been rocking the KW kit since I first got it on the road in 2008! Just stuck on the HnR cup kit which I got when I bought a red GT (Higram).

cheers man, theres a pic of two together around page 4! it was uncle steves one that made me pine for one!

finally got my oz routes back on the peril and it got treated to a wash a couple of weeks ago

exhaust needs rehanging and some fresh rubbers!

cleaned up and etch primed the rear bench so now just gotta weld up the battery tray and i can stick all my interior back in! woop

also treated her to new oil, filter and spark plugs, done 1500 miles since the new head, gonna stick the spare charger on at the weekend and start running that in, after me , pete and adam rebuilt them with some new nitrile seals :)

Just realized there are 5 G40's in our household. And I own none, this is wrong.

LIKE.. i was thinking the exact same thing when i went up there! :)

We recently embarked on a 4000 mile jaunt across Europe to visit Romania and drive the DN7C - Transfăgărășan Pass.

Travelled to France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia and Back through Austria, Gemany, Belgium & France.

Over 3859 miles, we managed an average MPG of 38.79, with a max of 50.54 and min of 25.5 which was due to the constant stopping and low speed driving on the poor roads of Serbia! They were an absolute shambles in places. We also managed to guzzle our way through 101 gallons of fuel!

The tracking went out and wore through a set of new 195/45/14s and the smallest size i could find in serbia which was 185/55/14 purely by chance as a tiny pikey tyre shop had some part worns. scrubbing city on the front though

fuel line popped off twice, as i hadnt had a chance to change it before the trip, the worst place was on a massive uphill section on a blind corner, with a truck behind us. not cool! but quickly sorted and off again.

fan needed to be on most the time in the super hot weather but the rad temp switch didnt seem to be working, so a quick rewire and job was done.

A stone got stuck in my disc in Serbia after stopping to ask for directions, whipped the wheel off and sorted it, and we've carried the jammy wee get the whole way home

also had to drive through a massive flood water in bulgaria that went half way up my bumper! but abandoned and found another way round. cleaned my wheels but arghhhhhhhh

heres a few of my fave pics of the peril from the journey

EPIC trip by the looks of it and I am loving the Dacia's on the back of that car transporter.

Mate this trip looks epic. How was the road to drive on? Can't believe the yellow peril made it all the way! Awesome stuff.

Dude...that is AMAZING!!! <takes hat off>

Asphalt porn!

Wow.. looks like an epic trip! :)

Some epic photoage right there!

Bet it was fun in a G too!

That road looks amazing!

Bet the whole trip was wicked.

How did you find out about the road?

Asphalt porn!

reminds me of the col de turini.

The Transfăgărășan was awesome to drive on, on the side of the mountains seen in the picture, however once you go through the tunnel and start going down the other side, the road becomes seriously degraded, with bumps, massive potholes etc. At one point the road almost disintergrates and its a free-for-all as to where you want to drive on the road. If I was to do it again, I'd just drive to the summit and go back down again!

We first saw the road of Top Gear, and after driving to Croatia last year, we decided this is where we had to go!

We are planning a trip to go visit Iceland and Greenland in the future, but it wont be in the polos!

Awesome! Would be sketchy going through east europe though. More importantly, trip sounds sick and car looks sicker!

How come?

Think about it! It was a tall order asking the poloes to drive on some of the shady roads we encountered on our travels. Imagine the cars trying to drive over snow and ice in Iceland & Greenland.

4x4 Niva I reckon

LADA FTW!
