Managed to make inters on Sunday.

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

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?



Just checking everything is torqued up...

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

Where are you located?



Next lot of work is approaching  :party:

  • 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  :fighting:

Going to put new rear rotors on with some used DS2500s

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

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.
