track masters today

[gillm]

just got back from this at castle combe and had a great day , soo relaxed with max of 8 cars out at any one time and it was open pit .

had a few issues with the car during the week so it was a rush to get there . all was going well til my 5 session was drawn short due to a boost leak , which was aparent on the previous 2 sessions as the power was dropping off .

really pleased with how its handling now but i am going to fit my rear arb just to help it . new pads were less assuring then the last set . gone from race to road but still pretty good .

here are a few pics .

oh great to see lee (chungster)

car looks superb (and different) , love the stealth helmet too.
I take it the boost issue still isnt quite sorted ?

[chungster]

TM track days are always good!

Great to see gillm again. car looks mean and shiny these days lol

Just uploading my pics and will post up the ones the resident togger took of mine. The R is a hoot! Just needs a proper diff really and some better tyres and maybe brakes.

he's just found the boost leak (he can now take my title of MUPPET!  )

[gillm]

it was but now its not lol . i got it home and found the turbo oulet pipe - forge pipe was loose . im going to remove it tomorrow and investigate

[john_o]

oo cool didnt realise you took the R on chungster , well done 

gillm , some hose trimming required? the forge ones do seem a little 'fidgety' lol

[chungster]

i wasn't planning to but it was a long way to go and not take it out for a spin or 2 

[gillm]

think i had some input on that 1 lol .

i was very impressed with it , it seems like every mod i have done to my mk5 was pointless .

some pics of the R









and martin liking his freshly Dodo juiced GTI a bit too much 

[gillm]

fixed my boost leak 

i removed the fmic all together and it is alot better . it was a autobahn core with forge pipes the plan now is to keep the forge pipes and get a mate of mine to make a new intercooler , he made 1 for my old ibiza and makes alot of bmw mini i/c etc . cant wait to get it .

here are the pics of the boost leak , in fairness prob my fault for fitting crap jubblie clips , which in itself is funny as im always taking the piss out of my mate for doing this .





watch this space for a new intercooler :)

[john_o]

ffs thats not a 'leak' 
its a fecking hose not connected
