Had a couple more track days and here's some pics...

After that I treated the car to some upgrades...

Nice new(ish) Blueflame catback





Got the centre box removed with a straight pipe...





Fitted some DS2500 pads too for better braking power









Small sound clip of the exhaust.... Sounds good!

More track days done means more updates

I had a 4 hour open pit lane last week so gave the car a good service beforehand as it would be getting abused.

New coils, plugs, carbon fibre coilpack cover...



Oil change and checked everythng over...



Bought a new air filter, BMC Twin cone...



Fitted the coil pack cover...



Went for a blast the night before the tracknight to make sure everything was spot on...



Ordered some new Corbeau Clubsport seats but was on backorder for 8weeks.

So I was surprised to find them arrive at my door 2weeks later after ordering them, not that I was complaining ;p

Then my bargain Team Dynamics arrived that day, so just need to find another 2 to complete the set...



Now for the track photos...



















Here's a 10min video of one of my outings during the night along with a few squeaky bum monents in the second video...

Well I was off work so decided to do Scotlands North Coast 500 route over 2 days.

Best thing I've done in a long long time... the roads up there are epic and the views, they are just mind blowing!

Loved every second of it!





















And 833miles later I was home...



And here's a small video I put together of our trip from the GoPro footage...

Alright Ross Finally got on this

Hey man... Take it your the one bombing about the Falkirk area in the black Cupra with white wheels?

 

[JonCampbell]

Lol NoOoOo, got rid of those white alloys. Standard ones that are black.. There has been a lot of turmoil with you and your car eh ha? Ross would you be able to share some of your knowledge with me?

 

[JonCampbell]

Another thing, your cars SICK dude! Good job, seriously!

 

[Watson©]

That will look better then with the black standard wheels

Haha how do you mean... What's it done lol?

Aye anytime man. What's he spec of your car anyways?

Cheers

 

[JonCampbell]

Yeah totally agree. Nah, just reading through your thread lol.. not meaning just now. Not a lot, unknown remap approx. 200bhp, cat back exhaust (blueflame), ko3s turbo as I had to buy one as the ko3 was fooked. Forge tip, unkown aftermarket dv and again unknown coilovers lol. EVERYTHINGS UNKNOWN!!

My SAAS comes on the 28th of this month and with that and other monies I am going hybrid with BBT k280, fmic, downpipe no cat and the additional hardware needed for hybrid.

 

[Watson©]

Sounds good man.

Will need to have a look at some point, check the beast out!

Plans sounds good, although I would recommend getting the engine forged if your going to be running that turbo and more power. Either that or your going to get nice bendy rods and a broken engine/car

 

[JonCampbell]

Yeah whenever dude, fancy meeting on Friday after your work for a little bit? I thought internals were good for up-to 300bhp approx? 280bhp would be there abouts the same as a stage 1 LCR I thought and they have the same internals do they not?

 

[Watson©]

Nah, different internals. Ours are only really rated to about 250bhp max depending on the map and how aggressive it is. Some people have went to about 280 on standard internals but they eventually go bang. And it deffo would with your driving style

 

[JonCampbell]

Your kidding, well that's that idea gone. Is stage 2 a-lot better than stage 1?

 

[JonCampbell]

I had a hunch there was more to it, when I knew you hadn't went hybrid lol!

 

[Watson©]

Your kidding, well that's that idea gone. Is stage 2 a-lot better than stage 1?

I had a hunch there was more to it, when I knew you hadn't went hybrid lol!

You could still do it... But it would eventually end bad lol

Yeah... For me to get more power involves ALOT of money ...

So that's why it's not happened yet lol

Aye, good difference from stage1 to 2

I could maybe get you Friday, depends as I might already have plans.

I'll PM you my number so it's easier to communicate.

 

[JonCampbell]

I will talk to you about it when I see you. Fair enough, Don't know if Dave has told you but I am a no lifer these days ha! What I'm saying is, I am free all the time. Cool. I am dying to know this Ross, see your car, what standard cars give it a good run for its money?
