New S2 Avant Nothelle N300 owner

Quite right! It was the bargain of the year

[Tractor Dave]

As I do not have a Tig welder, popped over to see my mate. A small section of the Milltek had been cut off as they apparently could not get the joint apart.
I need to learn this skill.


I can’t wait to hear that lovely 5 pot warble.

We need another get together before the summer is gone

Milltek fitted. I need to order two new hangers before I can take her for a spin.

Man there's so much more room under an avant compared to a coupe!

Yes!
It was quite easy to fit but it's slightly too long at the moment. I need to check all the joins are fully home.

They tend to hit the rear valence when hot! Stainless expands a lot.
I used a ratchet strap to pull the centre joint together, get some tension on it then bang it with a rubber mallet.

Good plan. Cheers John.

I didn't need the ratchet strap. I had to cut the bolts off the joint clips at the front. A quick spray of wd40 and it moved forward in the joints another 2 inch. Perfect fit now. It must have hung out a lot on it's previous car

Hmmm, interesting. Our 3” Miltek.



certainly not flush, but not 2” out either.

[Tractor Dave]

Just measured mine. Now 2” proud of bumper. Before adjustment it would have been 4”!


I will be listening my old exhaust for sale if anyone is interested. It’s in very good rust free condition.

Innuendo Corner.

I’ve just popped out with the tape measure and mine is exactly 2 inches at the top.….

Men of our age should be proud of 2"
