Nice what’s the rough spec at present? We always want more power.
Are you forged? LSD?

Morning all, just waiting on my new Bucket seat to arrive (and the warmer weather) then funds willing should be out on track in March / April.
Both Red cars looking good but are O'h so common

Hello m8, yes always good to get a few of us on track
New Race Seat arrived today
so hopefully track time soon, be good to meet up again.cheers
Car is stage 2, tuned by JBS in Chesterfield. Runs 286bhp / 320ft lbs. been running this way for a few years. Does 6/8 track days per year and always driven hard.. fingers crossed the reliability continues as it’s only let me down once in almost 7 years of ownership.
I do bits as funds allow.
Runs AP coilovers. H&R ARB’s. Polybushed front arms. Silver project top mounts allowing -2.6 degrees of camber. Yoko AD08r’s. TD 1.2’s in bronze. Semi stripped interior with bucket seats and a dished steering wheel.
Spent a lot on maintenance incl tyres, brakes, servicing etc. Maybe that’s why it’s reliable as it gets fresh oil every 2nd track day.
Future mods will be forged engine, aiming for 350/400bhp, cage, big brake upgrade, & an LSD.
Car sounds good.
I’m quite keen to do Donnington this year.
That’s a fair bit of torque going on there.
Squeaky bum time when in 6th gear then.

Yeah I know there’s talk about torque figures. The car is mapped for progressive power, and I don’t get into 6th unless I’m cruising along.. most tracks I don’t get out of 5th either.
When the engine goes i’ll Either drop a TFSI in and go stage 2+ or forge and big power a 1.8t
Yup most straits aren’t long enough.
Bedford is the only one I can think of. Oh and snetterton Bentley strait. Hit sixth there too.

Oulton was wet at the start but quickly dried out, my first track day, was an absolute blast. A pretty much stock Mk3 Cupra can really hustle around a track... looking forward to doing more.
Pretty much same at cadwell
That new suspension is amazing. What a set up absolutely pinned it all afternoon and the car was amazing.
People commenting how surprised they were at the car and how well it looked and handles out on track.
Did some passenger laps and impressed some people at the braking force and cornering speed.
Removing the abs was a good move and really dialled the brakes in.
All in all a great day.

Thanks,
It's not too bad for an old girl
Yeah there's some more planned like light weight wheels and maybe some fibreglass stuff and maybe some more engine work to squeeze the last few ponies out or make the power to weight as favourable as possible.
There's a few of us that go on track days. Going to try and get booked Don for the afternoon at Donnington Park on the 13th March.
Will be looking to book Oulton Park in April / may anf got a trip to zandvoort and the ring in July

I have full detail to date in my readers ride thread, but the short summary for performance so far is an aftermarket Intake, turbo muffler delete and Audi RS3 brake cooling ducts.
So it did the track day yesterday on OE Pads, discs, oil, fluid, tyres etc etc.
In the pipeline:

In the pipeline:
- Lightweight 18in wheels and PS4S Tyres
- Braided brake lines, Quality brake fluid and better (but still road suitable) brake pads
- Stiffer lower engine mount
- Intercooler
- Turbo back exhaust
- Remap
