The Outlaw Motorsports Garage tunes
Daihatsu Copen Active Top '02 "Nibelung"
Two of my favorite things came together recently and resulted in the Outlaw Motorsports Garage and Harvey Wallbanger spending quality time to produce this mighty dwarf that creates gold. I've always found the Daihatsu Copen Active Top to be one of the most attractive Kei cars with its rounded form hearkening back to the old Porsche Speedster. With the band of Outlaws at Wallbanger's throwing just about every performance enhancing trick in the book at it the final result was a car that weighed in at only 732kg while producing an astounding 207HP out of its 659cc. With this great power to weight ratio of 3.47kg/HP the question became where to unleash this mighty dwarf.
That's where another of my favorites came into play as we recently traveled to Germany and the famed Nürburgring Nordschleife for the British Lightweight Seasonal races. This monster track has become a benchmark of sorts as man and machine pit their abilities against the many varied challenges that seek to destroy them in the midst of primeval beauty. Yes it was destined to be, and so it was that Harvey Wallbanger strapped himself in and set off on an epic drive. The opening strains of Wagner's ride of the Valkyries pouring through his helmet speakers as the Wallbanger crossed the starting line and the race was on. Could the legendary Wallbanger actually use this "Nibelung" to produce gold and beat the mighty Valkyries to the finish? An astounding 7:51.155 later the Wallbanger crossed the finish line well ahead of the opera's Valkyries.
Now Harvey Wallbanger and his band of merry outlaws offer you the "Nibelung" tune so you can craft gold on the Nürburgring.

Drive hard and have fun!
Then I'll probably pay a quick visit to my sadly neglected Copen and give it a couple.laps of the ring to see if I can get under 8 minutes. If I'm under or closer than my last go round I'll publish its tune.
uhm where was I oh yeah like I was saying your help is always welcome in whatever fashion you care to give it.
