Lovely car mate! like what you've done with it.

Little update but nothing major. Turinis! Not as fond of them as I was before the 2118's but they've got a couple of thousand mines left in them before new tyres are needed so why not! Was also curious to see how it sits on the Grams springs with 16's.

Cheers Keith! that was one of my concerns with the B14's and with coilovers in general what with the roads being as bad as they are. If it was a weekend toy i'd reconsider.

Cheers mate. I'm up that way sometimes but i'm actually a bit further south. Good point @welshname they are on my to do list but the car drives ok for the time being. Certainly getting some in the future!

Thanks mate, appreciate it. Yeah still on the grams at the moment. I really rate them tbh. Just as good as the cooksports on my old Cup. would love coilovers but the current driveway situation is already cutting it fine. Go too quick and you scrape the splitter lol

Little update on the car as it's been a few months. Car has been running rich for a while now so booked in to be checked by ED in November. No changes to the car other than xenons. Mixed feelings about them. On a Cup it doesn't look quite right, but as it's back to being my daily now it helps to...

Was a good meet and decent turnout. Looking forward to the next one!

2 minutes from where I live. I've seen it around a fair few times as well. Probably seen your car a few times too haha

As long as the car is still driving as it always has i'd try not to get too hung up on strange noises. If I worried about every single strange noise mine made i'd never enjoy the car - because there's a lot of them!

Took this at Goodwood FOS 2017. The P1 LM. More photos here. Hope the link is ok? ah well.

I had this on my Cup at the start of the year but way worse - to the point that it would squeak constantly. A new belt fixed it too. Was also only a year old lol

Depends really. Is the car mechanically sound right now? providing it's got good service history the engine will likely be sound. It's everything around it you have to worry about. Clutch, engine mounts, gearbox, driveshafts etc are all things that will be under more strain. I went for low boost...

Sounds good. I'd be up for it

Only image I have online now since Photobucket decided to screw everyone over is this one mate. Anthracite is the one! Stand 39 by Daniel Haynes, on Flickr

I'd say more along the lines of £3500 as you'll need to factor in other costs that might crop up along the way e.g. my flywheel was knackered when they did my clutch so needed another. I've been boosted since December 2015 and not had any problems with the kit apart from needing an uprated...

I love how clean this Cup is. I'm using 2118's at the moment in anthracite for mine but love seeing yours on silver Turini's. Still got mine and so so tempted to swap back. They look great on both imo.

Thanks!. Used a Canon 550D and the Canon 1.4 50mm lens. Dodged and burnt using Photoshop to bring out the front and make the background lighter. Applied a filter using VSCO.

First post in this thread. Here's one from Goodwood.

The only thing i've had done since my conversion by ED is the clutch. The stock one lasted a year of abuse after the conversion mind you! at which point the car had done 108k all on stock clutch to the best of my knowledge.

Haha cheers mate. Makes me cringe watching it myself but thought i'd do it anyway. Get out of my comfort zone and all that. Good thinking. I'll look into it!

Can anyone recommend a good oil cooler setup and where to purchase one?

The temptation to go high boost with ED is real. Seems like a fair price.

I'd say if you want an off the shelf kit or a roll in roll out service that's 'proven' (reliable, good customer service etc) then Engine Dynamics is your best bet.

Don't remap it. Save your money and put it towards your next car. If you do feel the need to modify then look at changing the cars appearance and not its performance.

More than worth it. I'm not saying that my car is quicker than both my friends as that would be a lie (The A45 is in another league in a straight) but in the real world you can keep up quite easily, even more so on a B road.

I can keep up with my mates F-type S into triple figures. It's 380bhp but weighs just shy of 1600kg! Also pulled on my friends standard 265bhp S3. With a head start I can hold off my friends A45 up into triple figures, but past 110 he leaves me standing (that thing is stupidly quick) No idea on...

I put a cone filter I had in the garage on my 65 for a laugh and it did naff all so stuck the standard air box back on.

It is indeed. The roads are amazing aren't they. It's only about 10 miles from me so it's pretty much my go to place for a drive.

Thanks @imprezaworks. Finding half decent royalty free music is so hard.

I got a new toy, a camera gimbal. Decided to go make a vid last night featuring the Cup and my brothers SV650. It's a bit long tbh, just a test edit/practice really. Thought i'd share anyway.
