The good news is you've bought the best colour :wink: The bad news - 40 pages of my waffle, sorry! It had bilstein b14 coilovers and 15mm eibach hubcentric spacers with some camber bolts back then.

He's not cheap. But he is good.

Need a catch up dude. All good here, just way to busy at work.... Fire me some dates. I also need a "window chat".

Lol. My car turns its nose up at your potato like head. As does my son. X

So this hasn't moved since Silverstone. Out it came today, fired up first time. Reliability continues to amaze me. Took it for a good run out, and really enjoyed it. Brakes were screaming so I need to do something about that as even I was cringing at the traffic lights in town. Anyway, MOT is...

Yep, strongly recommend J-tech as per @masekwm 's link above. They set mine up, and have good pedigree on previous cup racers and current 750MC Clios. Ask for Jamie.

Found some. Excuse the "potato phone", these were taken some time ago.... At my old flat At a road trip in the lakes (wastwater) At my parents house. I did love that car. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have on my back up hard drive. I'll dig them out later this weekend.

OP - I enjoyed mine very much. Bought it in 2008, Seal grey, black leather, manual and with switchable PSE. I highly recommend the switchable PSE. Epic noise. Only downside - the cost to run, but that's to be expected given the cost of the car new. If you get one, enjoy!

Welcome to the forum. Thank you for your contribution. Sadly, it isn't how we roll on here, so bye.

It's the flux capacitor.

Not sure if srs.... 😂

Me too!

Solid project IMO, and with the VAG scene you won't lose money on it if restored thoughtfully. Good shout.

Cheers man. Floor is epoxy. But it's chipped badly already. I'm planning on an extension next year, and it will mean a new double garage. And I'm paying to get the floor professionally done, because it agitates me that the paint chips. Racking - simple 2x4 with sheet. Plenty of time measuring...

I'm with this guy. Tidy garage, with tidy tools, much less stress. Takes 5 mins to put things back where they came from. Man up. X

Make your own. Then you can design bits into it to accommodate things of different sizes ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Never really finished? Eh? Mines been charged and finished for 2 years. Keep up at the back Scotland. X Cost - I got a lucky, as a complete kit including gen90 came up secondhand. So fitted and mapped, £2700'ish.

Yep. I've had no reliability issues. I turn it on, drive to a track, smash about all day whilst annoying people in "faster cars". Then drive home again. After a piccy nic, of course. People always say buy a faster car, but you point out a car that's as much fun with 250bhp per ton for the same...

Oh really Pirate. Dead to me.

Yep, basically the k-tec kit, but I was lucky and bought it second hand. They rarely come up second hand, so when it did, I was in there like a tramp on chips. 😂 The other benefit of low boost, and not messing with the internals, is if something does go pop engine wise, just buy a...

I'm on a gen90, which works well as it's literally plug and play. But Scoff knows what he's doing, so I'd certainly trust an ECU kit from him. I just checked, I've done roughly 8k miles since the charger, probably half of those on track. I'll regret saying it now, but it's never let me down...

Mines boosted, but supercharged and not turbo'd. It's as reliable as standard, and has had a fair degree of track abuse / driven hard. I only ever really use it on track nowadays. Think it is coming up three years since I boosted it. 250 bhp and 220 lb ft. I don't think I'd go much higher as I...

Largely because he and others feel the need to criticise those who don't strip their "fun toy" to the limit and spend "huge" on a "fat car". Don't give it out, if you don't like it back again. I did say horses for courses! Personally people can do what they want, but don't then assume it's...

Lol. Are you building a race car to race? Or a car to have fun on track in? Quite a few comments in here reek of "track hero" status. Trackdays are a bit of fun, not racing on the cheap.

Horses for courses. I don't want to drive to and from tracks / Le Mans / Ring rattling my fillings out and making myself deaf for the sake of 40kgs. 250bhp and 1020 kg or so does me fine. For what it's worth, I'm running Marks hubs, ASTs on custom rates and with a bit of rake and decent tyres...

Sorry man, had a look and couldn't find them, although the Garage is a tip. I'll have another look next weekend, although I'm starting to think I sold them a while ago and forgot all about it! Lol!

Top work Sir. Top work.

Flame red wins every time. Every. Time. I have some sprayshack bullets I may sell in the garage, when I get back later I'll have a look and put a photo up here if you're interested?

It probably worked because everyone knew where they stood. We had 50% following the rules, 50% not following them. Which creates chaos. For example, coming round a corner me and 2 other cars (golf R and Mini R53) "queuing" behind a mk1 golf waiting for the straight before overtaking. Turd in...
