Small photo shoot

Photo dump and a few clips from the VW Audi Club Norwegen's car meet

Scroll to the bottom for a compilation of some clips recorded from the track 😄🏎️ This year we made our way back to Vålerbanen for VACN's annual car meet, same place and same vibe. There was a car exhibition, track sessions, and prizes for the best cars in the show and shine. I entered mine for judging, but the competition brought their A-game and I did not make the cut this time. Blue carsThe real story of the day was my friend's car. He has put serious hours into prepping it for track duty and today was supposed to be the payoff. It was not. I came geared up to shoot photos of him on track, and before I even got to the photo spot his car had already given up. Bad wiring harness? Bad ECU? 🤷‍♂️We think it is either a bad ECU or a sketchy harness. The throttle body would not stay steady. It kept jittering at zero throttle, which made the car stall constantly. We tried swapping in an identical throttle body from another Mk4 VW on site, with the same result. Frustrating, especially after all the work he has put in.

A few solid builds still made it out, with a good mix of clean dailies, track builds and show cars. Below are a few stills pulled from the clips I captured through the day.The quality is not perfect. Most are frame grabs from iPhone 16 Pro Max footage, and the first few shots in each set are from my Sony A6000, s

Today I finally installed the Scorpion resonator delete on the GTI, and it makes a real difference. 📦 It all started with a package at my doorstep.Inside was the Scorpion pipe, ready to replace the bulky factory resonator. 🧑‍🔧 OEM resonator vs. Scorpion delete comparisonAlso had to do some prep-work before installing the new pipe. 🪛 Removing rust from the mufflerI’ve included two clips to give you the full before-and-after effect. 🎥 Here’s the stock exhaust sound before the install🎥 And here’s how it sounds after the installSwapping it in was straightforward and the payoff was immediate. The tone is much more aggressive, and for the first time I can clearly hear the exhaust from inside the cabin. Under load it used to be almost too subtle. Now you know it is there. The DSG shifts are sharper and louder, and in park it spits out pops and bangs that make me grin. So far I have not noticed any drone in Drive. Around town it stays tame, and when you push it, it delivers. I also edited a video if you'd like to listen to a direct comparison
