Managed to make inters on Sunday.

Was lucky enough to have my car along side some pretty cool motors on the AKS stand.  

Was great to catch up with some old faces and meet guys I've not had chance to meet over the years but spoken to so much on the forums / Facebook / text ect...







Prob 1200 bhp there...



Mini Leon meet lol;





So you have these brembos daddy?



But you really want one of these?

Give them a good clean up. Should be fine afterwards.

Where are you located?



Next lot of work is approaching  

• Runner flap delete kit installed
• Inlet ports and valve stems cleaned & de-coked
• APR v3.4 with RFD code, Left foot braking, Motorsport limiter, CEL delete for charcoal can delete, linear mapping
• AKS custom throttle body pipe
• Red Forge TB hose to match DV hose
• AKS Fast road Geo checkup
• HEL rear hoses
• Brake fluid flush with Motul RBF600
• TTRS Master cylinder (Trying to decide on this)
• 2x very minor dents pulled out
• 370mm Brembo rotors ground to remove pad deposits causing a judder at trackday temparatures
• Re-Refurb of the TDs as the guy who did them last did a dog turd job  

Going to put new rear rotors on with some used DS2500s

Hoping to feel a very positive difference in the car with this visit  

Then she's off to the body shop to repair a few paint imperfections that have been driving me nuts and to fit a K1 / BTCC spoiler I have sat at AKS.
Looking forward to sticking some before and after shots up of that.

Over winter Im hoping to put a new clutch in so shes good to go for another trackday season.  The current Sachs isnt slipping yet but it has been on for 50K+ miles and the DMF that was fitted at the same time is starting to get noisy.

Only other bits that are going on are shopping around for a TPMS that will give me a live pressure / temperature display.
