So looking over some of the data here's 3 of the fastest runs the car has did at different places

 

15.5 when the 1.6 was at the pod a couple of years back blue line

14.2 this time at pod with the 2.0 red

13.9 at crail orange

 

 

The 1.6 is faster in first and at the start of second till around 40mph which is expected with less torque therefore more traction until the 2.0 gets itself sorted and takes off.

 

You can also see that the orange on the speed over time graph that the crail was the lowest due to the wheelspin as well even with slipping the clutch alot at pod so the clutch would grip.

 

What was interesting i thought was that at 70mph/ 300ft out the crail run then becomes faster than the pod run. Ran through all the datalogs from both runs that i took on vcds, pod intake temp was only 1 degree higher, boost on both was 2.3 bar. Crail did have a slightly high max rpm at 5548rpm compared to 5297rpm at pod which i would put down to it bouncing off the limiter spining the wheels. Only thing i can narrow it down to was the head wind at pod which was 20mph if i remember looking at the weather app. Wonder if it could have been a good 13 second run.

 

Thought it was interesting to share.

Some Autumn pictures

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some more pic spam with the fog tonight

 

 

 

seeing what all these 100-200 runs are like in mexico, 2 up boot full of stuff including the clutch and a full tank, backfire on the gearchange which was interesting and slight air at 160.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

and more of the hardcut

 

 

 

 

So since i'm off work and bored of things to do i thought i'd weigh the car to see how much difference the 2 litre, turbo, manifold, meth etc would add to the weight of the car.

 

 

 

 

how much fuel was in it

 

Last time i weighed the 1.6 with the full interior and just over half a tank it weighed in at  1268kg

 

2.0 weighed in at 1255kg so 13kg lighter than the 1.6 was interestingly more of the front weight now on the right rather than the left

 

Also went out with a friend that has a modified 1.8 polo gti to see how it compared. All done in mexico

 

 

 

 

 

Just wondering, since you swapped to a 2 litre did you manage to retain stuff like air con or is that all removed for the sake of weight reduction?

No i got that working again it just needed a regas.

Another set of Pilot Sport 4's on the front thats the third set in less than 2 years, rears are still just over 5mm on them. Probably explains the tractions issues.

 

 

 

More picture spam again since ive started to use my camer more again

 

 

 

Also been having some thoughts on the S2000 Rear spoiler as well

 

Imagine having one of the mk1 Fabia wrc wings.

Wouldn’t suit it I don’t think. Like to try and keep with the same platform

With a car as modded as yours I say Go big or go home!

I love the vented bonnet on this. It's only the Mk2 Fabia's that suit the vented bonnets IMO, I think it's because of the association with the S2000 Rally cars. In contrast the Mk1 Fabia's with the £9.99 ebay vents jigsawed into them look vile!!

And also it’s a genuine bonnet too 😂

 

 

 

Gearbox out today to finally get the clutch changed, Sachs SRE Organic out SRE Sintered Clutch in. Not as grappy as i thought pretty smooth and light compared to before. Standard clutch lasted 84k, this SRE Organic lasted 20k....

 

 

 

 

 

 

little bit of data

 

Had a few comments not really from here but other places that open filters aren't good all they do is draw in heat so did a little test today and this was over 16 miles, lowest difference 1 degrees highest difference 3 degrees. Shows you want a good intercooler set up can do.

 

 

 

 

New tyres finally in, old ones were pretty bad and hadn't even lasted a year

 

 

 

 

 

Also we are back to that time of year again

 

 

Damn, those tires were shot. Did you also align the car again? Could help a bit so it would wear more evenly

Well damn. Is it the inner or outer part? Maybe look into other brands specified for fwd hot hatches.
