My Woo is equipped with custom made control/alarm system (my design), with complete car control over cellular phone. Engine blocking system. Car location system. Remote Engine startup. Remote engine throttle moving. Remote door ejecting.
Completely key less! Start-stop engine button, ejecting doors, automatic power windows witch remembers last position left, turbo timer, car location, no keys, everything remotely, or everything over GSM and SMS....

I have designed new alarm system , witch is more than just car alarm system. I have called it SMS Commander . Its still a prototype with about 10 test cars running it... I hope it will be soon in serial production. I need some investors and money for serial production...

First. It's alarm system. Everything over GSM-SMS. Textual CAR status, and textual approximate car location. I don't use GPS and I don't use servers! So it's private, for a user, without any security agency in between you and your car... Car will send programmed user (up to 15) SMS with information about a car and it's approximate location...

It's simple. Just, you, your mobile phone, and your car. And where ever you are, you know where your car is, and it's current state...

comfort options:

*Remote engine start, stop.
*Remote window position, with automatic remember last window position.
*Automatic arm function, when all passengers leave the car.
*Automatic power engine up, ejecting driver door, unarm alarm, and opening window in last saved position with a single button on remote control.
*Key less entry, key less driving. Start-stop engine function.
*Automatic power up and down of car radio.
*Automatic drive light.
*Remote (forced on a road) engine blocking over SMS.
*backup key less entry in to the car with a pin
And many more...

Every function available over SMS command, and main functions over remote...

I'm not a James Bond, yet... :)

I have also remote engine gas pedal pressing, and demonstration engine rev, over SMS! :)

Interior

 

Almost Top Speed ;)

 

Custom projector head lights created by my brother and I (page 6). Ignore bump on bumper and hood (I had little accident few days ago).

 

 

25.01.2008. After thinking for some time, the course of this project has changed. It's pretty hard to gain some big HP figures from N/A engine, so I'm going to change the engine with C20LET one (2.0 16V turbo, 204HP stock). Also I couldn't find a Lanos with C20LET engine, so I think I would give it a try!
With VEMS and some bigger IC, I'm going to 300HP figures...
Lanos SporT will be born! So let's shop first, and new pictures soon... :)

Engine Opel C20LET (2.0 16V 205HP from calibra turbo 4x4), Front upper and lower strut bar.

 

 

10.02.2008. I have done shopping. C20LET with coscast head is in tha house... :)

 

 

14.02.2008. Waiting for F28 (6 speed) gearbox to come back from the workshop...

26.02.2008. C20LET is finally inside with F28, 6 speed gearbox... Lanos Sport Turbo, Lanos SporT...
Lanos ST is born... :)

27.02.2008. Boooost is amasing... It's pulling strong all 6 gears... I assume that tops speed is around 160mph... I don't know for sure, because my speedometer isn't working correctly on this gearbox.... Still have some issue with engine overheating..

Inter cooler is mounted, now I have to make IC hoses...

Coming soon, Carputer, the In Car PC... 8 inch TFT LCD with VGA input and touch screen mouse...

 

 

15.03.2008. Front brake upgrade, front discs 284mm (from fiat coupe), calipers (from calibra turbo 4x4)

15.03.2008. Rear brake upgrade with 270mm discs and calipers (from calibra turbo 4x4)

16.03.2008. I have been on unformal street race meeting in Osijek, Croatia...

In the first movie, I go against Kadet-C 4.0 (204kW 920kg race tires RWD) and I won by half car size... He messes up start... I have 150kw stock, 1200kg FWD and stock tires (pzero nero)... In second try he smoked me by 3 car sizes...

Lanos ST vs Kadet-C 4.0 204kw

In the second movie I go against nissan 200sx (1.8t not stock) and I won by 2 car sizes...

Lanos ST vs nissan 200sx

20.05.2008. I was on MAHA dyno brake to have the initial values before the tuning business. :D It was a little below 200BHP (160WHP) and about 256Nm on 0.4bar. It didn't want to go to the 0.6bar witch is the stock value... I have found out later that the first gear switch was wrong...

So this is the moment for our memories... :D

 

 

My goal is 1bar with 1.3bar overboost and SA VEMS with about 300BHP and 450Nm... So let the games begin... :D

I have bought new distribution, water pump, and inlet cam...

 

 

Automotive Racing Products screws... :D

 

 

Had some work to do... Changed distribution, inlet cam, water pump, ARP screws, etc...

Ordered a new InterCooler from US... :D Here is compare of my new vs stock C20LET IC... :lol:

Then I get impulsgeber (VSS) from DE, it's a "AD", 10 impulses per rotation.. Now it shows speed almost correctly, but I think it still shows a little less then the actual speed.. I will compare it to the GPS to be sure...

And then after a whole day of hard labor, the big fish IC is on the car... It's 29x6x5'' or 75x15x13cm, with 3'' (76mm) pipes... :D

Now I have to e-manage the engine and release the beast! :D Maybe I would get some 440cc injectors... :D And fix the hood, and the bumper (last winters crash :lol: )

01.07.2008. Working on VEMS...

05.07.2008. My friend Damir Muha, did the first configuration and the engine started... Alto the knock and hall sensor aren't configured, and he did only preliminary mapping with retarded spark, and the injectors are too small, on 0.7bar the car is like the beast on steroids... :)

In the second gear on good road when rpm reaches 4500rpm, it looses traction. In the third gear it's hard to control as it swings on the road as wheels are getting traction...

It pulls harder above 6000rpm, and pulls hard all 6 gears... Stock ECU and this one, alto the boost is only uprated from 0.6bar to 0.7bar, and with no overboost (stock had 0.8bar overboost) difference is big..

Now I need bigger injectors, and must learn a lot about configuring VEMS to enable LPG (bifuel staged support and knock sensor)...

11.07.2008. Did a 1/4 mile race with the new Audi S3 (miltek exhaust) and M3 E36 and beat them both... :)

On the first run, start from zero, S3 (4x4) just jumps ahead about 2 car sizes... Lanos ST catches it and pass by it in the 4th gear (just before 1/4 mile mark)... M3 is left behind... On the second run, rolling start, Lanos ST takes advantage and leaves S3 and M3 behind..

12.07.2008. I put some big 630cc injectors...

13.07.2008. I have blown the engine. Probably fried the 3rd piston or piston rings... Will see when reap the engine apart...

The Lanos ST will be back soon with over 300BHP! :)

23.07.2008. We had the busy weekend. Engine was removed from the car, opened, repaired, closed, and reinstalled in the car on the public parking space... :) The third piston was fried, and second and third piston, piston rings was fried, too...

Second and third pistons were replaced, and everything was polished nicely... Thanks to my friend, Mutni...

We have spent many days working on VEMS configuration and wiring for LPG...

After many tries, and an invation of an active flyback for LPG lowZ injectors, it was working fine... :) On right picture it is a prototipe of active flyback... Thanks to my friend, Fire...

19.08.2008. My brother and I had a very busy weekend and the start on this week. We have installed A/C, repaired headlight housing (that was cracked on last crash), repainted grill, and the most important of all, we have mapped the car on 0.9bar (190kpa) on the local highway!!!! The car is pulling like a beast! I think it is now close to 300BHP!!!!

At the end of the day, to much power I wasn't ready for, and I have crushed the Lanos ST! Now I'm looking for another Lanos 3 door as a chasy donor.... The engine and the gearbox are fine, but the whole front of the car is gone... Damn! :(

09.02.2009. Finnaly, after long time collecting all the spare parts and after market parts, the car is at the workshop on chasy rebuild. It will be back cleaner and better looking.. :)

23.05.2009. Legal Street Race 402m, in Zagreb (VG), Croatia. 1st prise in class Stock Competition. I have lower the boost to make the car suitable for this class. Car ran 14.4s on 0.55bar, with my reaction was around 15.0s...
