Well, my car is now officialy a 2 liter and 210hp car!
It was approved today and she is totally legal now.

Here she is in front of the local RDW building right after the testing.

here we cannot put 3s engines because CC go over stock + 25% and power cannot go over 20% what is the most powerful model..

But that sucks here.. but some ok beside that issue..

Well, I found out Friday that my engine is slightly detonating between 3k and 5k rpm and mild throttle, it is not much but detonating is detonating.
Full throttle is ok thankfully.

So I'm going to add some octane booster to see if it gets better.
But it looks I have to get an aftermarket ECU, I run on ron98 now but only BP has that in Holland.
And even on that it is detonating, I really don't want to drive from BP to BP and add crates of octane booster.

I haven't found a PNP ECU for this engine though so that sucks.

Anyway, I now have fixed the side skirts on permanently, and changed the Levin sticker on the grille.
I noticed on the show in Assen that it was waaaaay to big, and I asked Oldskull to measure up his logo, because his seemed spot on.

So now it looks much better imo, silly how a small change like changes the looks of the car.

New:



I also decided the tires are too high so I ordered lower ones which I hope to receive soon.


Some pics, just because..




















More later.

How did you detect the detonation? You where worried about it earlier I know, just seems so unlikely on a stock engine.
