Now this is interesting.    These are Fiat Croma Turbo ventilated discs, Volvo 240 4-pot calipers, mated up to the Lada hub with an adapter plate. They just fit under the 14" Opel Manta rims. Nice! |

And finally, some lightening on the crank: That's just balancing surely - no where near enough removal for lightening........ |

 I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people I don't like. |

Sorry to say, but that crank doesn't look lightened at all......!  If it is / was lightened you'd be able to see it from the photo! |

Hmm... I haven't got any more pics! I'll find out more... I don't know what stock Lada cranks look like!

Basically - you can tell it hasn't been lightened because all of the casting marks are still present. If it was lightened you'd see a finish like this.....  Look at all the scorring made from the lathe (can tell the difference in surfaces between casting finish and removed metal finish) - these will disapear if it was polished (this crank is in-between stages). |
