Hello,
I am "General".
The proud `leader´ of a bunch of idiots with a strange hobby called car-audio.
I have a small garage box called "The Bunker" where we build SQ, SPL and dBdrag installations for competition use... and demo cars.
It´s not our job... just our freakin´ hobby.

I would like to show you our latest project:
See the presentation on YouTube:

and/or view my pics here below:

600cc 2-stroke engine with 23bhp ... what do you expect?

Don't forget this (cult) car was build in the poor East Germany during the cold war...
In time there wasn't steel (because the Russians used all the steel for the warfare against the Europe and the USA) and oil (because the Russians used all the oil for the warfare against the Europe and the USA).
That is why the whole body of the car is build with 'duroplast' (some kind of cheap-ass polyester immitation) and they used the small 2-stroke engine so everyone can fix it with a hammer and a screwdriver.

Here you can find all the pics... even how we open the doors now, and how we created some more camber:

p.s.
If you want to know how my own car and install look, you can use this link:

(I will post a showcase about my Volvo S40 soon...... SQ, SPL and DBdrag)

p.p.s.
Thanx for all the replies and comments! :friends:
