Epic.  :notworthy:

All the recent trouble, stress and ball ache will all be worth it when you finally get to tread on the loud pedal Mike.

Want to know what living with the TTE420 is like.

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!

Flying visit to @vRSAlex and the team at AKS this morning for a quick checkup and to swap over my rotors and engine mounts.









I already had uprated engine mounts so hard to report on the Vibratechnics mounts so far.  They look great quality though.

My rotors were goosed so I had an old set Alex had, that have been ground / skimmed.

Have a bit of an issue with high rpm gear changes but will see how I get on at Donnington next month. 

Pagid blues were starting to look tired, hopefully get another session or two out of them.  Oh my front tyres are snotted too :-(  Apparently from running so much camber on the dyno


On the list;

Supertech exhaust valve springs (to sort high rpm valve float)
WMI finally fitted.
Fix loss of convenience menus.
Lightweight front seats.

Ive just realized that I saw this on fb to other day.

No offence but you thread is way too long for me to read anytime soon.

Car looks amazing though. if I ever find myself with nothing to do for a whole week then I'll start from page 1 :)
