Thanks 😁

Well the briskoda number plate holders lasted until a trip down to elvington at the weekend 😅 @ColinD do yous still do them?

last day of the year out at crail, times down due to no heat in the ground but fastest trap speed its ever done so making the power still Racing a PD160 Cupra with a 2260 and 100bhp of nitrous on top Racing a friend who does VWDRC in his 20vt Lupo on drag slicks, no traction for me at all but still reeled him in PD130 ibiza with a PD150 turbo Racing a friends clio 182 turbo, ran out of meth but before this run and forgot to top it up so was a fair amount of power down compared to usual Then ended the reason with a trip to pod with the AWD RX7

Took it back up to crail last weekend. New fastest time and trapping a lot faster than it did on the old engine. Vs 500whp corsa c Fn2 civic Astra VXR 2jz s13 Next one was the fun one Vs b204 Astra As you can hear shifting from 2nd to 3rd and didn’t have a 3rd gear. On my mounts they are solid mounts which have spacers on them like this the nut had came off and the spacer came out and lodged itself in the cable engine pulling the linkage out when I changed gear 😂 thankfully an easy fix. Darkside wanted the car at a show down their way so it went down at the weekend. when the car originally went on this engine it was given a base map then every since then it was remapped remotely on the road so never knew how much power it made. It’s also got some new experimental cams as well and thought why not see how much power it has. Certainly surprised us and explains why it’s faster than it was before! Now on 172 dyno pulls on darksides dyno 😂 Some from the show

timing system went down so no times Took it to a hill climb a couple of weeks after that event, a friend had rented out the track to test on it and invited me along. been a while since i did a sprint and never on this set up, 2260 really doesnt look low speed stuff 🤣 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsoKAw51z7E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAXrySVX3ak Was talking to Tomas from Darkside who has the silver fabia on saturday night about how i was wanting to go back to Melbourne in York and that there was an event on there at the weekend, He said we should go along so que a 5am start from me to head down. Took home fastest fwd of the day. Also good helping one of the RTMG Mk 8 Golf R's and met up with @FabiaGonzales as well Vs Commer Van https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0CHzXYEEpe4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWL72W5yY54 vs classic mini https://youtu.be/o3Bqnt7BltA vs foxbody mustang https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc9V6hsIVW0 vs S Type R https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkIilulq6PI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OL0uugMYA2U vs Darkside 1.6 https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xLRrIyfWmUk vs Abarth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlM78VNST6I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4atMgcls2zg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGviok1dy-Y vs @FabiaGonzales https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqjC_je4Q-o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMv3z_aEy7s darkside 1.6 vs @FabiaGonzales https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKt_LuGMLb4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7YWbuscf0s

Back out at crail at the weekend, decided to head up to help a friend with their 9 second street car. managed to get a few runs in as well to test out some changes, look forward to see what the fan club have to say this time 🥰 500BHP Noble owner seemed as surprised as me there was only a car length in it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9CbyNlwHAM GTB2566 Fabia vRS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gsprhjKbyk 425BHP M140i https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibdssb45Vd0 390BHP 8V S3 staged too deep on this one so tripped the beam and red lit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEyiTySzu30 the 2 AWD Honda's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZdk5m21yTU

who said I was there to win 😂 also it’s you’re not your but this is keeping a lot of us that competed in street weekend entertained and a laugh including the rtmg folk that were there 😂

Only 1000bhp? Not sure what event you followed but there was RS3’s making more than that 🤣 never mind Andy’s car that runs 6s at over 200mph and if you paid attention there was classes but then you’d still have got gapped in the fwd class if you turned up😅

At least I turned up unlike you sweetheart.

well street weekend was fun, after the car had been sitting for a few months thought id bring it back out again. managed 2nd in the overall diesel class with darkside taking 1,2,3. also managed a 0-60 in 5.18 seconds on melbourne's no prep surface

Not really no if I’m honest 🤷‍♂️

Little test session at Crail on thier track yesterday, Mainly for datalogging and watching temps to see how it copes on track. Was running great until the last session. after the first couple of laps the car started spluttering go into limp mode but instead of letting you drive it would just die (not the best when you're on track!) Into the pits plugged in VCDS and came back with a fuel pressure regulator valve code. Cleared it and then car wouldn't start great. Had a look had it and it looks like the cable on the plug was abit tight so loosened it and made sure it was plugged in properly and car fired right up so luckily nothing broke. Always have been happy to talk about the failures unlike some other people that seem to hide them and not mention them so it makes it all look good all part of the adventure of these cars. Also hate steering wheel controls on track. 1st session 2nd session, mistakenly hit the phone call button on the wheel and ended up calling my friend 😂 3rd session mistakenly hit the voice activation button on this one last session go pro died on this one

Looks to be the definition of messy there bbz x 😘

Yeah it is that’s why I went for an external cooler after that

I’ve got the option of the oil temp on the MFD and worked fine on the 1.6 but it’s never worked on the 2.0 was the only thing that Paul couldn’t work out how to repin on the ecu so it talked to the BCU properly. I did remember seeing 146 degree c once at Donington in the summer a few years back 😅

Finally got the oil temp gauge hooked up so more track days 😆 Little trip here to test it out noticed it was running pretty cold due to the cold weather so friend was selling this to help block the oil cooler but it doesn’t seem to like the milotec grill.

Just one little change to it. Needle lights on the Rev counter, water temp and fuel gauge stopped working so a quick trip to Chris bellman’s in Sheffield sorted that out with some new lights

pretty well documented how much it costs me 😂 it’s ok to be jealous if i have spent more because the car has went through different stages over the years also it’s their not to there 😘

He does seem to be extremely hurt over abit of banter from an engine map 😂

Haha how cute that you’re ( look correct way) raging at a map description 🥲 Raced plenty that allegedly have more power than me and it didn’t work out well for them nice to your’s ( again correct term) is still being a garage queen though ☺️

You know they are the same cars 🤪 also it’s you’re not your

Or when some of us make the trip down to Perranporth which is similar to Crail it’s get how people make digs specifically at the car and me thinking it bothers me but you know you’re doing it right when you’ve got haters and everyone knows the car 🤗 Me and the guys at darkside do have some good laughs over what folk comment about it 🤭

Been to pod plenty of times and yet they never turn up. thanks for proving my point about being too scared to come to crail because you don’t know power management or how to launch a car properly on a bad surface 😘

Oh look someone’s upset that they can’t built their properly or even on time for an event so try to make digs thinking it will hurt me 🥲 yet here I am with a working driving car 😅 funny how the big power 1.4 boys are too scared to come to crail or show up for events but here we are. 😘

Sounds like someone is butt hurt because they wouldn’t be able to keep up 😘 Could easily afford a mk2 vRS but didn’t fancy having a slower car if you go back to the previous posts you’ll see that I bog it on purpose hence why I have the LC set so low but I can tell you don’t have a history around motorsport if you believe that spinning off the line wins races 🤗 gotta love these pretenders that think they know what they are talking about 🤭
