Today I had an opportunity to meet a S2Forum member. _ShurikeN(Alexander) and his wife was visiting me, and we had quite good chats about these cars, and of course of lot of other things too. It was very nice to meet and I hope the rest of their holiday in Finland goes well.

Hi Thomas.
It was a real pleasure for me and my wife to have a talk with you. It exeeded our bravest expectations Thanks for you hospitality and time from both of us. It is a great experience to see how they make all that automotive hobby affairs in Europe. Pretty high quality and professionalism level for personal amateur projects. Quite impressed. Katya was also very pleased with personal communications. Best regards from her.

Competition lip fitted. So small thing but gives quite a lot of agressive look. I'm very happy with the outcome, even that the bumper is quite an frankenstein with extension after extension.




Edit. Sorry for these crappy photos, my phone camera just gets worser and worser, there is so much dust behind the lens glass.

Some small things have been done. Clear side repeaters and new wiring for them. They where not working, and that was because there was only 30cm cutted wires inside the fenders. Fitted also a 2kg fire extinguisher in the trunk. At least a small chance to get the car saved if it tries to burn, as you never know about these oldies.

Recieved also a carbon competition lip.





There is also a small problem. In 70-80kmh steady speed I get a VrrrroouhVrrrroouhVrrrroouhVrrrroouhVrrrroouh... sound. First I thought that it comes from the wheels, but the sound disappear when I press the clutch and the drag stops. Could it be the prop shaft bearing?

next should be aluminium bracket/holder for VEMS LCD

[Thuppu]

It is the ECU.

Could have put a sheet behind the text, but now there is little air moving. It looks better in real life.

[quattro-nick]

nice detail thomas but i would spray the grey aluminium piece black

[Thuppu]

As the Vems ecu don't fit the orginal ecu position behind the dashboard, it has been hanging of the wires. But today I made a bracket for it under the glove box and covered it with a 2mm aluminium sheet cover, so it is safe from kicking feet.

Any plans with the car circuits/drag events?

No, no plans for this summer. Quite busy summer on the way, as there will be a couple of renovation projects, my holiday won't be a holiday.

Are you trying to say that with this exhaust you can pass 'katsastus' officially ?

Well, it's just the WG pipe, 99% of the exhaust gasses goes thru the main exhaust and cat(this of course originate of how much WOT driving you have ). In the end, they just measure the emissions from the tail pipe.

Maybe the violent sound has something to do with it haha...1st and 2nd gear wot between some buildings, screaming wastegate, bangs and some turbo shatter is quite effective attention-getter.

Kiitos! Yes it was like that, except the heat shield(fitted it today, made of 1mm stainless). He didn't say anything about it, he was just looking at it with big eyes.

Haha really , then i guess i can leave mine as it is
