Yesterday

Yesterday we did a little bit of photo shooting before we removed the engine again to check out the damage of it. After the engine was out we saw that the flywheel does not sit correctly on the crank and had contact to the gearbox. You maybe can imagine the noise at 4000rpm!

Engine out again:


The flywheel is harder than the gearbox:


Waiting for the things to come:

Sunlike is for sale

One of Europe's finest nostalgia gassers is for sale. Hope that Mauro will build another one to stay in the gasser scene.


The colour would really suite my collection:


My engine has no hole. So I hope the damage is not as bad as this one is.

Schlepp Mich

Today the world famous Ernst Bernsteiner came with his 'Schlepp-Mich' service-car to bring back my car to our garage, where we want to check the engine problems in the next few weeks (month). Thanks for that! (The Red Bull will arrive soon).



I really don't know why he is always hiding his face.

Do you like german beer?

Would you prefer 'Warsteiner Pils'

or maybe 'Früh Kölsch'?

EBI Pics

I found pics of my car all around the web. Feel free to post a comment which one you like most.

EBI Comment

I just found this pic and a nice comment on the famous terovirta homepage:

Austrian built Split with different approach. Sebastian followed these guys during the later part his drive from Germany, I received atleast 3 phone calls; "fuck these guys drive fast, cannot read map at this speed, hopefully they know the way, did I say these rides are so coool".

Aircooled greetings from Austria to Suomi: We just did a little bit of 'cruising'!

Short EBI Report

After I had a bad ride (engine was only working on three, maybe two, cylinders in rushhour) to the trainstation, we left Vienna thursday afternoon by train.



Friday morning after our arrival at Düsseldorf, we put in new sparkplugs and checked all cables. Now the engine worked well, so we started our trip to Chimay.


On friday there was no racing due to rainy weather, so we took a look at all the nice cars that were on the event.
Here you have just a few pics of some Type 34:

Nice black one

Nice racer

Airride

Oh, Georg of DFL has his new engine ready?

Not really!

Saturday and sunday was RACE ACTION TIME:




We had to leave on Sunday before the end of 'Show and Shine', because the other club members had to take the train back from Düsseldorf at sunday afternoon.
Our trip back was o.k. ...


until my engine broke down shortly before my arrival at Düsseldorf. Luckily it was only about 500 meters from the home of my brother. And much more luckily I made a membership at the ÖAMTC one day before our start. So they will bring back my car next tuesday or wednesday.


The crank or one bearing of it broke. I will report here after we disambled the engine.
Best Regards to:
Fredy, Franz-Joseph, Alex, Christian, Christian, Thomas and Martin.

Last Check before EBI

This week Fredy did the last check up before EBI


The Type3 will get a new engine,

Finally the oilfilter has the wright color now.
