My s2 avant STEP 1

Neuspeed RARB fitted!

Ah, after a few weeks i finally got the Neuspeed RARB in house! (thanks Corey ).
I havent got time to fit it before today. But now its finally on and i'm ready for some roundabout action!
The rarb really did the trick. The car produces much, much, much less bodyroll in steep turns in good speeds and it seem i can have a little higher speed trough the turn than before, but maybe thats just my mind playing jedi triks with me again
All in all i really need to do the brakes and the head now then the car is ready for some "time-attack"

The car has been so much more fun to drive with the RS2 FARB, billzcat shortshift, Neuspeed RARB and the semislicks! now i love my car even more.

..even though(?), here are som pictures as usual:

cheers,

Nice you liked it then. I usually have the car in the garage and dont drive it often besides to/from work (8km). I suppose i only wash it well at times

Breitling: No problemo hombre! now go get yourself a RARB from Corey. I know you need one.


As in for now i only pray to god that i get the head done before the Nurburgring meet. Im also promised it would be done.. BUT if it dont, then i will be co-piloting on mr.Breitlings rs2 as i HAVE to get down there to meet the rest of the s2-gang.

Damn i sold my PS2 w/gt4, no practice for me then

[breitling]

andies beast

Thanks for the ride yesterday Anders. Im amazed about how fast it is and how it sticks to the road and out of the corners. Its like old chewing gum on the floor

And the sound of your exhaust really scares me. Sounds like when you take a paperbag(doggybag from Mcdonalds) makes a hole in the other end like the opening, and blow all the air that you can trough it.Brrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssshhhhhhhhhh , PANG!!!! Braaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssshhhhhhhhhhhh

still a pedestrian..

hahah! Danke schön!

Well, as all of you probobly know, there was no trip to Nürnburgring as my car wasn't finished (either were breitling's). And that was a major hit-in-the-face feeling
So here we are, a month afterwards the car were deliverd, and it is still not ready. Tuning takes time, and as the tuner proposed things i might want to consider along the way,an lets just say i wasn't hard to convince.
So i just hope it'll get done befor the snowfall so i can test it on dry tarmac and maybe make it to Nürnburgring to meet David as i promised
So this is all for now.

I will be posting more pic's when i get it and hopefully make an film before the winter.
here are some summermemories:

Thanks Jas11n!

Got the car back tonight, and jeeezus does it move! it dont just move foreward, the whole car lifts itself off the ground in the front when i accelerate. it's like a powerboat going up on the water when accelerating!
it's so weird to drive, like it is a whole new car.
Now i really notice how bad the standard brakes are, and good thing Corey has worked out some upgrade parts for me, just lying around awaiting fitment

It now produces 1bar @ 3500, and full boost (1,6Bar) @ 4000 (all the way to 8000), which i was told is the lowest limit for that compressor size, T-netics t60-1 8"kkk.

New spec is:

*new head (new all inside)
*new low comp gasket
*new Bosch 522cc injectors
*new EM "furans" ceramic coated
*new DP 3" all the way now
*new software
*new MAF 4"
*new oli return pipes
*new 7a cams

It's producing somewhere around 400bhp now, and will be 430bhp when i do get a second Bosch 044 fuelpump, adjustable fuelpressure regulator and some other small things.

It's terrible to get it back as i now noticed how much more needs to be done to it to get perfect!
awh, can feel the money fly away again!!

PS: pics coming tomorrow.

My goal is to reverse from David (Midnightblues2) on the Nürburgring straight

I accept the challenge !

[AndersS2]

haha, nice David, then we're on (soon)! :mischeif:

After bringing my car home thursday, i put it on charge friday as the battery was empty, but then as i cleand up the car, i noticed a leak from the head!
So now i have to bring it back to get this sorted out. The worst thing is i've not driven it more than home from pickupday and to/from work the day after just taking it easy whitout the few trys (no 100%).
This was bad so i need to get it sorted asap. I dont dare drive it now as oil from the head gasget is there making me worried sick about the car taking damage/fire

This was not my weekend..

[AndersS2]

Oh well,
After all this then if my car doesnt perform why not use the situation to mount the new brakes on! Yeay! Then finally i have something productive to do while awaiting help.
Ripping the old stoppers off, wasn't a good sight, and on left side i found only an half brakepad remaning, and the other side the whole pad was going into molecyles
Then i relised that the EBC pads were somtething i wouldn't pay for once again.
After that lesson-learned i found the following and installed;

*Black diamond 323mm x 32mm punched disc
*996 TT rear calipper
*Goodridge steelbraided hose
*OEM porsche pads (mintex?)
*Rs2 brackets'n'bolts
*Ate Super blue racing rennsport fluid

The mounting was the easy bit, and just going out for a try, rolling safely to test if the fitment were right, the car suddenly stoped into a roundabout! And that was 300m from my garage! argh!
It will not ignite or start again. So i had to be dragged home by my dad in his yankwagon (jeep).

So now it's deffinetly just standing there, looking good, new brakes, oil and engine setup just awaiting to be drove on a perfect road.. when that time may come.

The horror!!

btw: pic of the new stoppers.. i think the red color does good behind all that darkened colours!

btw2: Thanks Corey for all help on the stoppers bits
