This is amazing! TTRS is one of my favourite cars.
why everyone loves those rotiforms though is beyond me?! They are dreadful wheels!! Properly chavtastic!

Lovely stuff, shame your one isn't Suzuka Grey. Beautiful colour.
The level of work is great I must say, bit mental but that's what you like. It's also one of the best modern engines ever made I must say, Baz's one was running 400 iirc and it just went like crazy especially on 4wd, only my boss' 997T really felt as quick.
I'll fire a picture of Baz's up as it's Phanton Black and has just been wetsanded... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?694320-Black-TTRS-Wet-Sand!

Fantastic. I recognise the old mk1 TT in this pic - one of Bill Brockbank's mates isn't it?
The silver one? I think it is.
Yeah could very well have, I think it was a TTOC meetup that day.
Instant reaction? I despise the switch - I've a proper soft-spot for those Leon's and your's looked a beauty. To swap that for a white TT of all things?? Ewwwwwww....
That said, I simply cannot fault your commitment (and pockets) to your ultimate goal. It beats simply tweaking a Scooby or Evo in search of mad performance figures anyway.
Now how's about transplanting all that hard work back into the Leon shell???
D.
Thanks, truth is the leon is still my favourite car ive ever owned. Maybe its because i was 19 at the time and had alot of good memories in that car with all my mates bundled in but it always made me smile. Loved the fact it was such a underdog and would frighten m3's and NA rs4s.
Bloody hell thats got a really nice mirror finish. Sadly mine doesnt get treated that well lol.
Titanium exhaust with the two big backboxes. You can get a race version, which is switchable. Its got a tiny motorbike race can style backbox with the flap closed, and a straight pipe outlet with the flap open. But thats just way too loud for me. Neighbours would hate me, and it would draw too much attention.
The roadster has been vandalised a few times now since we fitted the racecan style exhaust to it for example. Not good.

Epic. That scorpion exhaust looks incredible! I love that it glows blue lol
Are you 23/24 now op?
Are you 23/24 now op?
Haha - epic! You sir, are clearly winning at life!

Ha I wouldn't go that far, I'm just a workaholic tradesman.
im 24 now boooo

f**k my life lol
Great read!
24... If I was 24 and had this car I would be loving life!!
Just because I dont like the fiesta ST doesnt make me a troll lol :nono:
Made some changes on hardware spec. Hopefully have a carbon carbon clutch sooner than later.
Also ordered a new intercooler, will be the third one now.

The APR Intercooler System dramatically lowers charge air temperature and resists heat soak far better the TT RS’s factory intercooler system. Through a massively increased frontal surface area, superior intercooler core design and smooth, cast end tanks, APR’s engineers were able to create an intercooler capable of supporting power levels well beyond that of the factory unit. Expect increased horsepower and torque and dramatically prolonged performance.
Intercooler Ambient Air Fins
Each unit uses a high quality, bar and plate core with staggered and louvered fins. The Intercooler’s exceptionally tall design and fin structure exposes the core to a greater volume of airflow than possible with the factory or similar aftermarket short and thick core designs. With more of the intercooler directly exposed to the elements, cooling effectiveness dramatically increases.
Intercooler Charge Air Fins
Internally, the APR Intercooler System features a staggered and louvered fin design with a core density chosen as a balance between cooling effectiveness and pressure drop. Due to the core’s massive volume, the balance was easily adjusted to favor minimal pressure drop while still providing superior effectiveness compared stock and similar to stock designs.
Intercooler Rear with Support Brace installed
The intercooler’s maximum size and frontal area is directly related to packaging constraints found at the front end of the vehicle. Intercooler units located in the factory location are design limited resulting in increased volume primarily through expanding the depth of the system. Unfortunately increasing depth only slightly increases the intercoolers effectiveness compared to increased frontal surface area. APR’s Intercooler System includes a reengineered front-end support brace constructed from billet aluminum to maximize packaging constraints. The low profile support brace resides near the factory location and no longer blocks the intercooler from front-end airflow. The bar’s inner design features a weight saving grid, which also aids in airflow through the core.
The intercooler core and brace are both black to remain stealthy behind the TT RS’s massive grille. The black chip and corrosion resistant coating does not alter the thermal effectiveness of the intercooler core. During testing APR’s Engineers were unable to measure a difference in temperature between the coated and non-coated system during both dyno and road tests. This was further backed up with matching dyno performance between coated and uncoated systems equaling each other.

Testing Data - Dyno
The Test below demonstrates the intercoolers ability to cool intake air temperature even under brutal conditions. Six back-to-back pulls were preformed with absolutely no cool down between runs. The APR Intercooler’s first run was conducted in slightly worse conditions than the stock intercooler, but it was able to keep the intake air temperature at redline lower than stock even after the sixth back to back pull! The dramatic rise in temperature from the stock intercooler cost the TT RS valuable horsepower on the dyno and averaged over 25 HP less than the APR unit across the six runs.
Testing Data - Street
APR’s Engineers set out to further prove each Intercooler’s effectiveness by testing in real world conditions on the street. Four back-to-back 20-130 mph pulls were conducted with both the factory and APR intercooler unit while various data points were collected with APR’s ECU Explorer data logging suite. While APR’s Engineers made every effort to keep starting temps identical between the two intercoolers, unfortunately conditions worsened while testing the APR unit as ambient temperature increased.
The rise in temperature was still no match for the APR intercooler unit. Pull after pull, the intercooler was able to cool charge air temperature below the actual starting temperature! The stock intercooler unfortunately experienced a rapid temperature increase and on average ran 14C higher than the starting temperature. The intake air temperature results collected on the street mimicked that of the data collected on the dyno further backing the power associated with each unit.

To bring things up to date, car was meant to have been ready by now but ran into some slight difficulties.
But my good friend jonnys car was ready and he got some figures off his. Our cars are of identical spec apart from the cylinder head.
660hp on v-power
0-60 in 2.8
100-200km/h in 5.8
1/4 mile in 10.7 @ 136mph
And here's some videos. Yes, it's a manual
