Ready for per4m TimeAttack!

Finished making my 29c512 to 87c257 chip converter. In human language this means that now I can put rewriteable chips in the ECU. Fast programming, fast erase. Now I can have whole arsenal of different software versions in one box and change if necessary (87c257 chip, which motronic uses for boost is very rare and expensive part).

Changed camber of front passenger's side wheel - to maximum. This should save me some tires on the track. Also it should give more grip on the track (which contains left handers mostly).

Street testing revealed that due to big spacers - front wheels are touching fender arches. This is bad, because front springs are too soft. Solved this issue by adding two rubber rings to the spring on the right, and one on the left. Front lifted about 2cm. Hope this will be enough for track.

Washed the car and added sticker - nothing to prove...

Bondaged exaust pipe end with glass fiber tape. Maybe this will prevent melting of plastic parts nearby.
