Hi! Here's some pics of my N13 with E15ET tech taken from N12 Cherry turbo (earlier this car had E13). Wanted to get a bit more power for the car which is in daily use (when it's warmer outside here in Finland). Had installed AC earlier to the side of E13 and as you could imagine it was lazy. Got through the car inspection here for this new tech also, so it's easier to use it freely now. Had to take the AC away because tubes didn't fit with the turbo but now planning to install it again with modified tubes-hoses. Also trying to get some cleanness and shine under the bonnet in the future. :)

Some specs:
Motor: E15ET with Schwitzer S1BG 0.49 bar settings (turbo originally in a Valmet diesel). :lol:
Exhaust pipe: 60 mm in the beginning and 51 mm in the end (ordinary 3-way cat because of car inspection directives, and short round simons + dynomax super turbo silencers). Happy with the sound, silent and relatively mellow.
Brakes and suspension: swapped from N13 1.6 GTI (CA16DE).
Gearbox: Cherry turbos box.
Drive shafts: E16 drive shafts.
Wheels: 14" Fondmetal.
Colour: Original color was gold, painted it with MIPA matt black.
Interior: swapped and modified from N13 GTI sedan.

:D Bought that towbar as used one years ago, I think its manufactured by Fixus or something.. The only thing in it I'm happy with it is that it hasn't got rust at all (yet). It's ugly, kind of an extra buffer. :oops:

I think tires on the whole are of course same as in other countries but in this car in pics the tires are cheap recycled tires (impossible to get the patterns to right directions for example). Driveability is still surprisingly good. :shock: Planning to get 15" alloy wheels and better tires, but need some more euros before that...

MIPAs "matt black" is glossier than ordinary matte black colours, resembles a bit black leather.

Fixus -> Fuxus, :twisted: If Fixus would like to become more international brand, that name change should be a must :wink:

Hello there, nice car you have! Converting to E15ET was a great idea! Must feel a lot quicker compared to the E13... :wink:

About that 'fixus' company name... 'fixus' is something like 'smartus' in English because it seems to be based on the Finnish word 'fiksu', which means 'smart' in English. A badly chosen company name if you ask me. :lol:

That's kinda the whole point, dude. That, and distinguishing it from a term denoting sexual orientation.
