A 60 mile trip up to see Alex today and the car seemed fine upon arriving. It's almost as if a long run on the motorway actually improved the car. It's not been on the motorway in about 5 months. Alex drove the car himself for quite a while trying to get it to have the flatspot, pop or even...

Nothing looks that loose down the back but i'll bare this in mind. Very kindly Alex who works over at ED has said he'd have a look at it for me tomorrow so i'll update on here if we find the source of the problem. Cheers Graham I'm going to check the Lambda tomorrow and see if it makes a...

Sound advice. Thank you @Christ Almighty

I've done a quick search prior but couldn't find anything useful, i've also asked elsewhere on Facebook but thought what the heck - why not bother everyone on here as well. My car has developed an annoying flatspot at around 5k when under full load in 3rd and 4th. There's a dip in power for a...

Few updates, an another issue which has put me in a predicament concerning FCS. Car is still holding back and has a flat spot at around 5k. Engine Dynamics are taking a look on the 6th but have advised to use the car as little as possible as a precaution until then - FCS plus the trip to see...

Nice car mate, still miss mine a bit. Once I get a house i'm going to get one as a daily again. They're such a brilliant car straight from the factory!

Depends how you define quick really. The only real comparisons I have is that my Cup is roughly around the same bhp per ton as a 135i going off of figures they quote online and sort of works out as it will quite happily pull away from my friends S3 (265 bhp version, 2012 model). Also managed to...

The 230 conversion is an awesome piece of kit and the customer service that both Andy's at ED offer is superb. So far i've done around 6k miles as the car is my daily and I haven't had any issues with the conversion. In the end my car made 230bhp/235lb-ft, excellent figures for an old car on...

I'm in this time around. Missed the last one earlier this year

Awesome pictures pal :up:

This is Marc Melhuish's Cup, he's on the CSOC Facebook page but don't know if he's on here. It is immaculate. It won a prize at waxstock last year I think. It's just as clean underneath too. Awesome car.

Any idea on what/who did it?

Perfect engine bay, not too much of a fan when people powder coat manifolds etc. Just some silver VHT paint and be done with it. Excellent job!

Awesome. That racer was flying, there's no way i'd keep up with him which is shameful considering i've got about 50bhp more! Good effort though mate, car clearly went well.

Mine has the exact same issue in the same spot. Some useful answers here: http://www.cliosport.net/threads/how-to-repair-this-ugly-looking-rust.768921/ It didn't put me off, although it will need cutting out and welding if you want a proper fix as no amount of filler and waterproofing from...

LOL, 5 year bump?

Very clean and loving the engine bay!

Mine does this too. Cleaned it up, painted it and it's come back. Not too bothered really. Yours doesn't look as bad as mine.

A little update and finally a few shots of the interior. Misfire sorted thanks to some new spark plugs. Apparently the old ones look fine but it seems to have got rid of the flat spot. Cheap fix at £11.40 :smiley:. Gaps on the old ones were probably off but not sure. Too lazy to unbolt throttle...

Thanks mate, really appreciate the kind words. I won't be at CSS this year. The only show i'm going to do is FCS next month.

Cheers Kyle, really looking forward to it as well mate. Not long now!

Cheers man, it was great weather most of the day. That's exactly what I found, before the tuition I was all over the place tbh lol. That would be cool, just let me know when you book! let's do it! would love to go out in the R8 too!. Perhaps sometime next weekend we could meet up if you're...

Cool car mate, loving how 'standard' it looks from the outside. You'd never know it was boosted. Just the way it should be!

Only worth 8k to a collector really. You could probably offer them 6k if you're that bothered about mileage and they'd take it.

Thanks @RMDavis. There was an empty garage during the lunch break so couldn't resist trying to get one of those moody garage shots. Always wanted one.

Haven't posted on here for a while so thought i'd update. The car got its first ever beating around a track this week at Brands Hatch. There where some pretty quick cars their but that didn't seem to matter, on multiple occasions I had 2 maybe even 3 laps where I didn't have to move over to let...

I love your idea of a sensible family car. Epic barge!

Amazing photos mate! Is it easy enough to turn up and take photos/walk around the pits etc? I fancy popping up there some time!

Some amazing Cups in here... would be rude not to share some of mine :smile:.

Very nice looking Cup!
