Cracking little cars and so much car for little money, relatively cheap to run providing you don't end up with a dog. I'll no doubt own another once I've got bored of the Focus. lol

A highly unlikely from me.

It is mate yeah, the 1st version of it. You're near as damn 400bhp iirc? Mine has only has the Dreamscience Race+ map on it.

Yeah mine has a hybrid turbo and tbh it does cause a bit of turbo lag, it is the 1st Gen of hybrids though and I believe the more modern versions eliminate the lag better.

Teg seems to go pretty well mate, although personally I'd have probably let off for a bit and let the Scirocco get ahead so it wasn't an issue, f**k having a smash over there and the faff involved afterwards.

It's the overtaking in corners and slipping past cars in braking zones, treating it like a race meet which is the most dangerous, example being when he nearly hit that Meg then shouted at the driver as if it was his fault lol.

Brilliant cars IMO, by far the best car I've owned so far, even it does piss me off at times. lol

Cracking car, looks stunning in the pictures. What kind of spec is it? engine/turbo wise?

I wouldn't expect to hear you over the rev limiter being abused ;)

Why no sound in the video? Also everyone I've spoken to about their 1st Ring' lap has scared the s**t out of them.

I went last year, was going to go again yesterday but decided to watch the Touring Cars instead. The two crashes were ridiculous.

Yeah sure no worries mate.

Glad you convinced me to buy it now haha

Cheers mate :) A lot easier to do than I expected refurbing them, as for the lack wheel bolts, less weight = 0.0001 seconds faster Trafford laps ;)

As I'd mentioned earlier in the thread I'd managed to warp my brake discs going round Oulton in May so I decided to rectify the issue, decided to refurb the 4 pot Brembo calipers while I was at it too. Decided to just go back to single piece brake discs as I'd rather warp those than the twice...

20bhp increase with that gear stick ;) Doubt you'd get the driveshaft out with just removing the shock bolts tbh

Good news that the springs have made a decent difference. Roll on 7th November :D

Maybe, although they work quite significantly as they are now, so I'm happy with them.

During my last trackday the car was suffering from a lot of heat after around 4 laps which meant having to end the session and come back in. Decided to try cure the problem via Headlight Cold Air Feeds. I picked up a pair of poverty spec headlights from a breakers for £20 and stripped all the...

Had the car realigned again, gone for a bit more toe out on the front. The handling is infinitely better, turn in has dramatically improved and the car is far more planted. It also rides bumps better, it glides over them rather than smashing in to them. Got another trackday booked at Oulton...

Ordered a Whiteline rear adjustable ARB and surprisingly it came the next day. The bolts holding the brackets which hold the ARB to the subframe were nicely rounded, so removing them was a pig, after much swearing and a badly gashed finger, I got them removed and fitted the new ARB...

I've decided to polybush the front end due to finding excessive movement in the front wishbone bushes and I mean there was a lot of movement. Explains the creaking over bumps lol 4 Bushes in total to remove and replace. just a few of photos during he process. I decided to replace the ball...

You can push the pistons out with a track pump and a bit of hose attached to the bleed nipple. Recently done it on a set of 4pots.

Had the car aligned today and the car feels far better than it did on the standard shocks. quick photo of while I was waiting for it to go on the ramps and a photo of the final alignment settings. Running more a less 2degrees of Neg camber on the front and parallel toe, I've got a bit too...

Not sure yet tbh, I'll decide once it's being aligned. Needs a bit less off the rear cos it's a bit ridiculous at the moment lol

I wasn't sure if you meant the BCs lol but yeah, heard a lot of bad things about them.

Too much brown, scrap yard worthy, (WINK FACE), TF , SPAMTACULAR.

Sorry?

IMO, they ride pretty smoothly considering what they are, I'm on 15 clicks on the front and 20 clicks on the back. Although the shocks I've just replaced were knackered and the ride was atrocious so anything would probably feel smooth in comparison lol.

Quite noisy due the solid topmounts but they feel decent to drive on, car felt more planted and thats with the alignment miles out.
