Cheers chap!  They have spent nearly 18 months in a drawer in my spare room!  Thought its about time I fitted them hahaha 

I wish you lot would stop fitting brembos to your cars! Means I'm going to have no choice but to start looking for a set!! They look awesome behind your wheels though mate!

It wasn't too bad last night, that new RS is pretty tasty and was glad the Honda got smashed hah

Looking very nice in those photos buddy.

I went to Stealth yesterday, feeling quite apprehensive! I am the 3rd car that has used their new strapping system, so they can run higher power cars without needing to use glue all of the time, and all went well.
 
Be interesting to see how John Maliks 800BHP + corrado gets on when its back on the rollers
 
Anyway, back my car...early on the mapping session it appeared to have a misfire after 5,000 RPM which put a stop on the session, ended up being spark plugs as engine has been overfueling and plugs were pretty shot ! Vince has recommended FR7KPP33+ - so we could continue the session just swapped for some old NGK's he had around the workshop.
 
Started to hit the numbers after Vince worked on the map, 262BHP, 279BHP, 292BHP and on the final run pushed 294BHP ! Was really happy with the outcome and im sure it will do more as was a fairly hot engine by this point - The drive home was immense and bags of power on boost now !
 
Just need to get some plugs and away we go!
 
Will post up some photos shortly! 294BHP and 241 lb/ft @ 0.6 bar isn't too bad for the old girl

Sooo. Has been a few weeks since having it up and running.
Seems to be running well. Put it on the rolling road at stealth on the last rolling road day just make sure everything is looking good in preparation for my mapping session on Monday. Everything looked well and was pushing 9psi boost, should be 10 - 12 PSI though. Noticed not long after the case was leaking boost where the scroll meets the gearbox housing on the charger.
Ordered some jointing compound which has sealed it up nicely as well as replacing the 6PK belt for a much better quality 7PK belt should see me hit the numbers !
Have also installed plastic splash guard to help protect my air filter.
Fitted decat but got a blow because of a crap clamp so will be sorting that tomorrow.
It's had a good clean too ?

So went to have a little play at my garage this afternoon. Car in the air test fit brakes.



Looking good



While she was in the air I was giving her a look over and started peeling the under seal away which led to this!





So looks like a rep are is in order. Just glad I started prying as it was not noticeable. Glad it's been caught. This is what happens when they sit unused.

When is the first show again this could turn into a lengthy strip down lol

Anyone know where she is hiding been trying to track it down but no luck ☹.. Would like to track it down and buy it back if possible.. I've done a hpi and it's still alive some where but just sitting around with no tax or mot but it's still insured.

Took the VR to Players Classic this weekend, was an absolutely brilliant show with a great mix of cars, on show and on track, it's also at Goodwood which is a beautiful place! Can't wait until next year, a highly recommended show! Also got a couple of 'proper' pics of the car taken;
