Drive back was spot on, I went down as niki wanted to work out why my car ran 267bhp/324ftlbs from a stage 1. long story but when i had it mapped the turbo was cracked, had a new turbo and uprated clutch and the car was awesome.

Went to the charity rolling road day last year and it ran the above figures which were a surprise as it only ran 232bhp and 286ftlbs when it was mapped. Went down yesterday for niki to have a look and its just a solid set up he says. Not even had the pre cat knocked out,  Ran 260bhp and 295ftlbs yesterday. Turbo is running 85%. On the way back we just called in to donnington on the off chance there was something on.

Will be checking the website more often so some nice little days out.

Mike you know if you put your wheels on full lock its pretty easy to adjust the billies, I never needed to take the fronts off anyhow :happy2:

Anymore plans for yours or are you just re doing mods for the sake of it now? Surely time for a new intake :grin:

I can adjust fronts easy without removing the wheel I was just having a quick inspection  :happy2:

The only big thing off the top of my head that I'd really still want to do is a pair of Carbon front seats, hybrid turbo & maybe WMI

If I still have it in a year or two I'll probably strip & cage it & buy a trailer.

I expect I'll need a new clutch before anything else.  I'd also like to get an EGT boss made so I can keep a check on things.

Next up soon is;

Oil (Millers NanoDrive), filter & pick up pipe, new plugs, fit a rear heatshield to the Revo intake, Cambelt & Water pump & probably some pagid blues

What's that trolley jack you got Mike?

Is it one of those 'low access' models?

Aprils mini mod. Column flocked to match the rest of the dash parts.





Will do a little review when I get 'em back as I've used a different company to last time.

Can't wait to refit it so the car doesn't look stolen lol
