Did this happen?

Did you kill a pair of R888's on one track day? Looks like your pressures were too high, did you keep checks on them, before and after each run? I've used the same set on 4 track days, in comparison (similar car).

Yes it is crazy heavy that matting, if you don' t dare remove the dash, just start chopping as much out with a stanley blade. Weigh it on the kitchen scales. Get a heat gun on the tar in the footwells (1.5kg a side if i recall)...

Lol @ driving to Leeds in the saxo.

Have you removed the fire mat behind the pedals? goes all the way along the back of the dash - weighs a good 20kg and an easy weight loss/power solution. Is it mainly as a track car? the 155lb's were far too soft for track action, 250lb felt on the money at the same stage you were at with...

Love it. That steering wheel though.

Unless you need to sell it for the £, then leave it until you have time.

OOOO... nice. Love it. You could have got the 18T could you not? Although they are newer and not as attainable, so I think you've done the right thing.

Evening all. Happy new year. Santa didn't bring me a better car, so I have continued with more work on the wreck. Last update, I'd had the door swapped and fixed a few bits. BUT... some lingering problems remained. Firstly, a vibration on the motorway, which was cured by running on these...

Yes mate, not seen you in.... forever! Hope you and family are doing ok.

It does look good. Wheel colour and lowz a good combo

Cheers Er... Hope is overrated. Its probably not worth spending cash on, but when its £30 here, £20 there... As Jim said to me recently (as I was moaning about the wreck in my kitchen) that when you look at a picture of yourself 10 years ago and you weigh 11 stone, then look in the mirror and...

Whoops, fogot to mention the door. The seals on the drivers rear door, had held up well. So well, that water was entering the car via the speaker. The water had built up in the door due to the run off/drain bugs being blocked and had sat there for years slowing rotting it from the inside out...

More photos uploaded, so on we go again. After another week, both Jim and I visited a Leon breaker in Leeds, to pick up some parts. The guy pretty much had every little thing I wanted. The previous owners had put an air filter on and pissed up all the pipework and also put a dump valve on it...

I don't have a home forum anymore and the seat cupra one looks dead, so thought I'd have a moan on here. Against my better (lack of) judgement, I bought this piece of sh*t to use as a daily car and return some funds from my Vectra. The advert was a complete lie, but yet I still just checked...

With perfectly manicured nails

I'm having trouble locating a flask

Fancy a race tonight, if its dry?

The tea at squires is s**t. Does anyone have a decent flask?

If its Selby like. Barpass

Selby innit. Best place.

Where?

I'll go. In the smoker, unless the power steering gets fixed.

I want a rallye

Get one with a level.

180bhp but with the weight, its a proper rocket is yours. That white one looks like the geometry is out.

Old man recently aquired this, for a few hundred. Been sat 5 years in the same place. Cost me a clutch, dragging it :( The engine is the sex. Bit of petrol and a battery and it fired up.

Mega! where's the drivers door card?

There is definitely something special about the first few drives of a 'project' or tuned project car. I get so giddy about it (when they're ready to roll) that I end up making excuses to leave work early. One day I'd love for someone else to do the work though - I recall a chap called Wayne...
