I laughed when you nailed it on motorway, we ALL do the same to test the water! I done the same and lifted at about 170. (clock showes 160). Wasnt prepared for the consequences if things went wrong. Instantly slowed! Good buzz tho. You can safely do that on the track with that beast! Cheers mate. Haha has to be done now and doesn't it. Get it out the system. But yes will save it for the track now. Blyton park is coming up in August. Good times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custom map and a little exhaust work. 350bhp and 520nm. Effortless but lacks drama, like say a turbo'd civic i like drama! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with a big turbo. Lures you into thinking there's not much go, then slaps you around the chops when turbo finally spins up.

Means you have to think a little when you drive it. Which is a good thing. With mine, its squirt and go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiNK43 Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) Track day prep upgraded the brakes on a budget. Fitted some braided lines, and some HEL hp600 pads. Claim great things but seem to be at a better price point than anything comparable. Unfortunately found I need a new rear caliper so picking one up tomorrow. Then can flush with ate type200 fluid.

KiNK43 Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 Cleaned up the decks bay aswell. Was really grimey and oily. Jetwash and a fresh paint job on the cam cover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
