That’s quick!...new battery cover already procured
Hope the bill wasn't too bad, Ben! great to ride in your pocket rocket.
Was lucky(ish) with the bill so can’t grumble. Onwards and upwards. Glad you liked the old girl. She can move when she has to
Been housebound for a few days after bending toes back and damaging ligaments. Thought I’d broken them but luckily hadn’t! My first thought was “shit I’m gonna miss Snetterton”!
Anyways it seems the toes are going to be ok for this Saturday. Will be the last track day of the year for me. Spent a bit of time cleaning her up, charging the battery etc. She’s in good health and I pray we make it through Snetterton with no dramas like recently.
Will no doubt put an obligatory pic or two up next week. Maybe some gopro footage as well if I remember to turn the damn thing on!

Ouch, that looks painful.
Fingers crossed you get some bright sunny weather at Snetterton on Saturday.
Lucky it was just my big footjust what i wanted see before my tea! someones big foot
I’ve gotten over my annual “for sale” moment
Hoping to get an MOT sorted over the xmas holidays. Need a couple of brake lines changed as a minimum. I’ve got a new pair of PS4’s for the fronts if needed and also some new DSUno pads which I’ll get fitted when the brake lines are changed.
Have already flirted with looking at track days for the new year seeing as there’s discount available. Can’t help thinking that to see the really best of my car it needs to be on semi slicks and dry though so might not pull the trigger on any dates just yet.

It’s not a disaster in the wet Nathe but would benefit from a lower output and switchable maps like you alluded to would be ace
I already looked for Aftermarket ECU like EMU Black my meglio.
Maybe a thing to do next winter
There are some people which deliver complete packages, i think K-Tec is one of it.

Wind it back to 200bhp so we can have a bigger train around track, that's the better plan

Or I might just not spend any more money on this stupid car and enjoy it for what it is
Ha that’d be cool tbh but not happening!Wind it back to 200bhp so we can have a bigger train around track, that's the better plan
Im a boost addict and cant be cured
I said the same when i bought a stock clio 3 rsOr I might just not spend any more money on this stupid car and enjoy it for what it is
Alex from AWMotorworks to the rescue!
Car split a coolant hose to the turbo nearly leaving me stranded but managed to top up and get home.
Seeing as I needed a few bits doing and an MOT Alex agreed to pick her up and sort her out. New DSUno front pads as I think I’d had my monies worth on the old set!
Picture of shitty Ktec supplied coolant hose just disintegrated and split off which in hindsight should never of been fitted from the off. New silicon heat wrapped hoses fitted.
New kunifer (yep I had to Google it) brake pipes fitted. Made in house at AWM. Others were badly corroded so needed to be done for an MOT pass and peace of mind. Castrol SRF fluid of course
New PS4 front tyres. Last trackday at Snetterton killed the old ones!
And a fresh new MOT
Nice to have a clean bill of health. Will sit patiently in the garage now waiting for either a dry Sunday morning for a hoon or a trackday around mid feb weather permitting.
Thanks for looking
Wish you all a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
