    Hello from Bangkok

    Hi everybody,

    My name's Chris. I am a Norwegian living in Bangkok, Thailand. Yes, I know Pop.
    Some people might know me from the Audiforum.nl and Motorgeek. Until recently only checked and posted on MG.

    I have since been pointed here by speeding-G60. Knew about this forum for years, but never looked much. All that is over. Been lurking for a few days and I like what I see.

    Been PMing with prj and speeding-G60 a few times already.
    Enough personal crap.

    I have a black on black 1996 S6 sedan automatic (1BE suspension), with '95 engine and trans. This is my 2nd S6. Also have a B4 80 2.0E beater.
    The S6 has quite a story, but too lazy to type it all up. I'll try and find a link to it on MG.

    Before getting to the pics, a short introduction to the car:
    -17x8 OZ Ultraleggeras with 245/40/17 FK452 Falkens
    -034MS Stg1 chip set
    -034MS intake and boost hoses, catch can set.
    -034MS HO coil kit
    -Full Apikol PU bushings set in the rear
    -Bilstein B6 shocks
    -catless
    -whole bunch of OEM stuff replaced

    Still has a few niggling issues, but nothing major.

    Plans for near future when funds available:
    -New boost leak test. edit: Fixed the boost cut issue.
    -Replace the plug wires with the Magnecor set. edit: Done.
    -Fuel pump relay kit. edit: Purchased, but need to install.
    -Replace the plastic crossover tube with Al tubing
    -Get prj's chip set for the AAN automatic

    Pics!
    (the last one shows what happened to the 1st S6)

            The engine bay is cleaner now. That pic is from right after the car was painted.

                Welcome along. That S6 is a beauty. I had the chips by PRJ in the my auto S6. The best money you can spend to improve your car IMO.

                Best of luck with her.

                  Thanks for compliments and tip. Not so excited about 034 anymore.

                      Yep, all 50 S6s imported to Thailand were auto. Some have been converted to manual.
                      Most of the S4s in Thailand are auto as well. I believe there are 3 to 5 manuals.
                      Heaps of auto S6s in Europe, too.

                      I don't mind the auto, gotten used to it and after I got a herniated disc, it is essential.
                      I tested the clutch pressure in Pop's car in September. Bad idea, had pain in my left leg for 2 weeks after that.

                            Thanks. We were gutted , too. We got hit by a 10 wheel truck doing 70kmh. My FIL nearly died from a head injury.

                            It is sunny in our area in Thailand, but evacuated a week ago from Bangkok.
                            Our house is flooded by about 50cm.

                              Hi ! Keep us advised about the situation in BKK. You shan't be smiling every day in the land of smile with the flooding events. Hope you're OK as well as your "babes".
