Der Violet ground beetle - project - Sinikiitäjäinen (Carabus violaceus) part7

 It's finally fixed and inspected, Kotten T. helped me with the swing axle boot, gearbox oil, changing the type 3 brake cylinders and the hoses too and Tommy t. helped with finding the brake parts! So now its even better, it flies and stops, and drives like track car. its a great car in many ways. and there's a heater too. Jani from ruuvauspaja did a good job, as the maxxecu mini works like charm. what else? OK, maybe some winter tyres one day? oiling the door locks? putting a mp3 player? cleaning it up? will see. but its great to have a "looker" with a heater and a peppy engine! WBX rules, for now... 

Der Violet ground beetle - project - Sinikiitäjäinen (Carabus violaceus) part6

The inspection day for the bug. i drove to lohja, to the leijonakatsastus. before that i went to motonet to get one bulb to the rear light, ended changing both sides, worked there normally, but in the inspection, didn't work that well. surprise! well otherwise the inspection went good, but one brake at the rear was not workin at all. so it didn't pass. what a pity, i thought that on my way home, i will get some tools from the cottage...but there is a steep road and its very bumpy. Suddenly the engine stopped. and boy, i didn't find the bug in this bug. i ended messages, and kotten the vw-guru in here, came to help me. thanks to him, we found the bad connection one wire connection was loose, and that made the engine loose ignition. after it was totally dark outside, it started right up. and i headed to the gas station. I drove the ug to nummela, where it is waiting that Kotten has time to fix the brake. then i will go back to the lion-inspection. to be continued....

FRIDAY 13th, my lucky day! part 1

well i got the harley inspected today & finally registered to Finland. its been 5 years since i bought it to Helsinki from Auto Lipp / germany... Have to say that after all the misery, now when its legal to ride it, it feels worth every penny. (ok it has been swallowing a s..t load of money) The best part that everything is in the papers.... hard tail, 184 cm wheelbase, 27% changed parts...everything... and special thanks goes again to the marvelous Nitro-breathing Juho Rouhu, from spok motors... if you have choppers in mind call to him. he is a true artist, and he keeps his promises. ...so that was the friday 13 - part 1.
