Project: S2 Coupe Continously upgrade

[magarv]

Great photos from Rudskogen.

Sorry to assist in the E30 hijack, but my E30 friend uses a lot of Z4 parts IIRC, including the rear diff. I do know his car was only geared for 209 km/t. Hopeless on the Autobahn, although funny for the rest of the Nürburgring 2008 group, but perfect for the Nordschleife. He was only just clipping the rev limiter in top gear over the crest at Swedenkreuz before braking.

Thanks

Spot on with hopeless on the Autobahn, but perfect for the Nordschleife. I think we are also almost hitting the rev limiter. Not sure if we have the 3,64 or 3,9 diff. (Running on 205/50-15 R888s.)
However I think we logged the highest speed in bottom of Fuchsröre 213-214 GPS km/h. 5-10 km/h less over crest at Swedenkreuz if I remember correct.

Sweet! I'm getting a 4.1 and looking to swap 55 profile tyres for 50s to get a total of approx. 10% reduction over my current setup, should help the little screamer work a bit better. S2 is hitting 140, I think I saw Magarv hit 250kph+ @ Swedenkreuz too

Yes, 260+ km/h at the speedo Looking forward to logg it with the GPS and see the real speed. I hope I can manage to get it down at least one time this year.

I am currently planning a new trip 22-23 august. But that will be with RyanAir again... Need to work out my brakes on the S2 first, dont trust them 100%. It is OK for Rudskogen were the sand traps can be useful, not too cool to hit the barrier at the Ring

I can imagine that might be worth sorting

Yes, that's a shame... For how long are you staying? Avd oldtimer GP is 6.-7. august I think Would love experience that one time also.

Heading down on the 8th, which is a Saturday. The Oldtimers is on the 7th, 8th, and 9th, so Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Hoping for some quiet track time during the week.

Sounds great Quiet weekdays are priceless

We are heading down friday 21. aug. Open all day saturday and sunday. We are two couples going + my friends dad. His dad and my missis will be first time visitors so it will be a relaxed weekend I think.
It is also the 1000km ADAC Le Mans race at the GP track saturday/sunday. So there will be alot of people in the area. However I have heard there is not to many actually racing the NS during these events...

Back on work after another great weekend at the Ring Great weather and a lot to see at the GP track incl Le Mans, GT series and 40-50 oldtimer racecars.
Also got some nice, almost free laps saturday and sunday morning and sat a personal best BTG time with the e30: 8.34!
This was the second lap in perfect weather saturday morning, rest of the weekend was also great with little traffic early morning and late afternoon
I am realy impressed with the old bimmer and did several 8.45 laps without pushing too much

Today I am going to pick-up the S2 after getting a new front windshield, the old one wasn't too good.
I was hoping to get it ready to next weekends autumn-meet at Rudskogen with the Norwegian VAG-club. However I am not sure I am going to make it... Need the car "MOT" first or "EU-control" as we call it in norway...

The Ring seems like a lot of fun!
Thats a bad crack in the windscreen! I hope you will make it to the Rudskogen meet, I will also try to get my S2 ready (just doing some small cosmetic fixes, and the oil/brake fluid jobs to get done)

D'oh, old screen is knackered! Glad you had another successful 'ring trip

The Ring is a lot of fun for sure

I hope to make it to Rudskogen but I am not to sure I will make it with the car I will definetly come to watch anyway.

Would be nice to meet up again and have a look at your car, remember I sold you that 3B ECU some years ago

It startet out with a small crack in the lower left corner, but after a few laps at Rudskogen in June cracks was all over the windshield...
