New S2 Avant Nothelle N300 owner

[hilly82]

hope its not too serious with the paint job, Got mine booked in on the 5th of august. Good work with the top mounts I was thinking about upgrading mine but just going to go the same way as you.

[Tractor Dave]

Well, the paint job is a long story and I am not going to go there at the moment.
Working on the car helps take my mind off it.
Strut top savers and new Boge mounts fitted up no problem.
The kit and parts you need.


The Boge compared to Meyle HD


Boge on right. Slightly taller.

Now the TT caps sit a little higher and the black plastic covers no longer fit but I’m happy with that if it means I won’t have to change them again for a long time.

Looking forward to seeing pictures of this beaut all nice and shiny

[Tractor Dave]

Oh, and fit my Nothelle steering wheel!

[Tractor Dave]

Ok, a quick update. She is home. No pics unfortunately as it was pouring with rain when I got home.
I now have a long list of jobs to do.
Fit new OE strut top bushes and the saver kit supplied by Lago Blue; Replace coolant hose with non aux rad version; fit side air guide (from Alex); fit hybrid turbo (from Vidar); change oil and filter to fully synthetic; change gearbox oil over to GL4 oil (I was incorrectly sold GL5 oil by Opie oils and don't want to risk my syncro's!).

Out of hibernation and off for a full respray.
Unfortunately, due to lockdown, I wasn’t able to drive her in.

I agree. That definitely looks nice.

[Tractor Dave]

Looks like it. It's very good quality

After two years of looking, I found one of these for sale on ebay and snapped it up.

Good find! Is the steering wheel insert made from carbon fibre?

You got a link for the oil cooler and pipes bud might do this with mine now I've ditched the aux rad

There’s a sticky in the engine forum

Surely a possibility of 3D printing the insert?

[Tractor Dave]

No, sorry. Like rocking horse poo I think.
I'm hoping to visit Nothelle in Germany this summer and will keep a look for you. The Nardi Personal wheel is quite easy to find, you just need a good Nothelle insert to go with it
