When is it? I think its the weekend camping meet isnt it? But probably not anyway as i'm on track at Croft on Monday and my turbo is shot. So plan a full strip down before it goes to the 'ring in september.

Well the turbo didn't blow up it pulled very well for 45ish laps..

Then my CV boot came off the hub and covered the brake in grease, so i lost braking and at 110mph couldn't scrub the speed enough and ended up in the field/gravel [emoji23]

Made a proper mess in the wheel arch, will get some better pics.

    What a mess, at least you didn't stack it and it wasn't a really tight bend! I need a cv doing on mine too

    He was behind me for 2 laps and couldnt get past. I let him past and i stayed with him for 3 laps before i had my little encounter with the grass. He was in the garage next to us as said it was a good battle.. Cant wait for a bit more power [emoji41][emoji41]

    So i got myself a vrs front bumper today. Decided that with my future plans i'll need good air flow so going to open it up and then repair/spray it etc.

    Cold air feed from the fogs? Or keeping the fogs in?

    Depending on how i run the pipework for the FMIC ill have it as an air feed, but wont be running fogs either way.

    Ideally it'll be air feed passenger side and tow eye/strap drivers side. [emoji38]

    Looking at the pictures I'd have been daft to throw that out. I never really looked at it properly after taking it out the boot of the vRS. Will look **** in granddad beige though... :P
