Winter is here again

Well actually winter has been here for two months now, and no progress with the bug, sad.

Wasa Aircooled Dyno Day a.k.a. WADD2010

Cars were cooled by air and air was cooled by water =) but a little rain did not ruin our day.





Best hp was 343 at wheels and over 400Nm torgue but not that supercharged oval above... Nikke decided to just adjust advance.

Doodah Oval

Keimo the Hipp

McBlowaBlowa

Fredde the frog

Judson Jucca

Mr. Porsche didn't make it with his Porsche powered type2 so he had to take spare car

Peppi's baja a.k.a. the "thrust bearing eater"

Fighter of the year... quess who.

SCC2010

SCC2010 was held in Gardemoen, Norway last weekend. 6 aircooled VW's from Vaasa went there and I joined the team at Turku harbour. Really nice event with lots of fast aircooled vws.

There were some problems with cars during 1700km journey but all cars came back to home safely.

Here is a picture from Stockholm harbour where Peppi is changing the thrust bearing to his baja. Bearing broke again after 120km and we changed it again at SCC but this time Kennedy stage 2 was changed also due to some damage on it. After this Peppi tested the clutch on the strip and it worked fine all the way to home.

Deep 6" Fuchs

Finally here!

Holiday

Running board check.

Experts doing some check ups on DooDah's oval...

CSP rotors arrived

CB dropped spindel, TRW Varga caliper and CSP brake rotor, they all fitted right away no shims etc. needed. By the way 32 and 36mm sockets are perfect tools to fit bearing races into place. Next job is........


Yes you guessed right... buy 4,5" fuchs to front.

Dropped spindels and brake caliper

Nothing happened here for a while expect recieved some parts, CSP 5x130 rotors still on the way. Calipers look so small, maybe I should go for those 944 brakes.

Have no garage, so I can't do anything when outside temperature is reaching -25°C. I'll have to continue virtual tuning meanwhile =) and read http://virtualsnepper.blogspot.com/.

Maybe I'll calculate heat transfer from brake caliper to spindel... nah what the he** do I need that for?
