Great results, John  :happy2:

Intake + cooler should hopefully see another 10hp  :evilgrin:

I'll be glad to get around 230-240bhp with the intake and cooler. Water/meth should hopefully keep things cool and give a little more too and should enable me to run stage 2, setting 3.  :evilgrin:

Very nice results there John, heat soak doesn't look to bad on yours TBH, or was that with a good cool down period between runs.

I reckon you could get 230-240hp once you get your water meth on, but i cant see huge gains with the intercooler on yours as its not dipping that bad.  Mine drops down quite bad in comparison.

im jealous now though lol.  Ive bit the bullet and im going for the full exhaust system now, instead of just staying with the standard downpipe with first cat removed. 

Ive just ordered the plugs for mine yesterday.  Ill show you the pics when i get my std ones out, they dont look good  :scared:  Guy on SCN just had his engine go bang because the electrode off the bottom of his spark plug came off and went into his engine, guess it was pretty hot  :scared: :scared: :scared:

Steve Jr gave the car a good rest between runs.  :happy2:

I've seen a few scary threads about the 1.4TSI's but hopefully the newer engines are okay  :smiley:

The new project looks great,  I feel as though I know you through Junior as he often talks about you,  good to see his workshop is as tidy as ever - thank God he is superb on the spanners and grey matter :happy2:

The brakes look awesome,  theres an event at Oulton Park this friday if you are off be good to see you there :wink:

www.trackaction-online.co.uk

I've signed on as part of the BMW car club although I no longer have a suitable BMW :)

Give them a call and I'm confident they will squeeze you in if fully booked,  Elaborate the truth slightly and say you heard about the event through a friend of Nick Wrights (he's the BMW organiser).

Be good to see you there,  I'll wear a red rose in my lapel so you can recognise me :driver:

A quick update....

Fitted the Lightweight race battery today

Standard battery and fittings were weighed out at 15.25kg
Lightweight race battery and fittings weighed in at 7.3kg
A saving of almost 8kg.   :happy2:

Looks like it was meant to fit there too!

Looks great! Wish my Ibiza cupra battery was there! Haha I bought a earlier build. :(

How long have you got before it goes flat?

It shouldn't go flat unless you don't use it for an extended period. I have a trickle charger for anything over 5 days if I'm not using it, but as it is my daily it shouldn't be an issue. The more significant thing is to remember not to leave your lights on or play music for extended periods with the engine off. :happy2:

Okay, well I bought some of the new gloss carbon fibre 3M wrap (I think it looks more like carbon fibre than the Dinoc matt stuff personally) and thought I'd try it out on the front badge of the Polo.

Whaddya think?
