Noticed i didn't update this after street weekend. Was eventful.

 

On the cover

 

Made it to pod and in line first day was just to get a number on the board don't want to break it on the first run but sadly just after my run it started raining and the day was called off.



Did hang back to help a friend with his car get it sorted so by the time we left it had dried up and the stance with the new suspension seems to better good.

First Stop was Skegness Pier eventful drive with all the rain, complete storm out




Next Checkpoint was the Viking Way Cafe





Then onto Melbourne Raceway, Noticed that there wasn't much meth left in the tank after the pod run and after talking to the guys at darkside as we were confused how it's using alot of meth i stepped it down a nozzle number to reduce the flow and refilled the tank.





First Run was up against a Commer Van with a B204

 

 

 

Second run was against my friend Abi's Abarth you can see from the video with the torque steer it was pulling itself all over the place about 11 seconds in


 

Noticed the 0-60 out the corner of my eye and it managed a 5.15 fastest its ever went



Then noticed the meth light on...used 4.5 litres in 2 1/8 mile runs so something not right here and it's not leaking definately going through the engine.

Time for the next stage of the road trip, first stop was the motorist.

 

Then down to Great Northern Classic's


and back to pod



First run was up against my friends michael and dale from spotted motors in their Cortina, No meth just to get a time on the board.

Sitting 2nd overall in Diesel and there was someone with another fabia climbing up the table and getting closer to my average so took it in line for another run with the meth turned on which ended like this



launch was awful, got into 2nd wheelspin, put it into 3rd to run out the wheelspin and could hear it misfire and before my brain could tell my foot to lift off there was a bang. Turned it off pulled over to the side. Once stopped turned it over to be met with it free spinning and no compression. Marshall came over and asked if it was driveable told him no i think its blew the engine. He had a quick look under and said it wasn't leaking. Opened the bonnet to find the bolt that holds the injectors had snapped and fired the injectors out of the engine breaking all the leak off pipes, bending the hardpipes and denting the bonnet.







Again from the trackside pictures it looks like the meth was overfueling and created too high a cylinder pressure.

 

 

still managed to secure 2nd over all in diesel behind a 450bhp 435D

Thankfully Darkside were on the drive home and they said to drop it off on the way home which lucky another competitor i was with stuck it on their truck up to darkside then took me back home to scotland. End result in the damage was 2 new injectors, new leak off pipes and a new rail and hardpipes.


Still best modified car event there is in the uk
 

 

 

@AMD87 - No other comment, but I do like your driver id sticker.

Is the black exhaust smoke the meth injection kicking in - or just excess fuelling?

Meth injection and not using nitrous to clean it up anymore

Liked the wheel in the superb so fitted a kamiq Monte Carlo one in the fabia

so some changes have been made




























love a heated windscreen too

Some pictures and videos from my trip to Spitfire Raceway at the weekend. Darkside Developments were fabricating parts still on Wednesday and getting them up to me and my friend for Thursday and we were still at it till around 10pm on Thursday getting the car ready to drive down first thing Friday morning. Ended up being 1200 miles in total down and up.

Had no meth as the tank decided to leak and running the low boost map of 2.4 bar but was running some spicy fuel and it was clean as down the strip with pretty much no smoke that some people asked if it was petrol 😂 had a good close race with the M140 but the hand was hovering over the meth switch as there was still some in the lines 🫣 but still got there first by 0.024

Better pics of the deadset kit fitted

How've you found the deadset kit? Any difference?

That’s a serious bit of kit!!

Ive just bought a 1.6tdi Fabia Estate and starting to tinker. Yours shows what can be done (and way above where I’m going to go lol).

Deffo following this 👍
