Nice, thanks!
I haven't looked for my RPO sheet yet, but will do so when teh car goes into my pals body shop this winter.
But so far it appears the only option I don't have is electric mirrors & the CB option (of course no hatch) in my non CE 82.
Gymkhana, can't tell.
Seems the rear leaf spring looks like one large steel leaf.
Still learning the C3's so what do I know!

OMG, looks like it will take more than a couple of nights to read thru all of that.




All joking aside, great link.

I just checked out the weight specs on my 70 versus the 02 Z06 I had. The Z weighed in about 100 lbs less. Pretty surprising to me. Nice find. It is now bookmarked. Thanks for sharing.
