What have you done to your 8V today?

[Simon L]

OMG the car just came alive .........

Wake up mate yer having one of them strange dreams again..........!!

 

[SPIKE_]

These came , was extremely lazy and went with the credit card trick to remove the old ones. Snapped one clip on the existing chrome covers, oops! Did it on my lunch break. Must learn to not be like a kid at Christmas with new car things!!

Love these - where did you get them. Are they OEM?

Not OEM but they look good to me, given them a polish and they are now on the car, no complaints for the price.

Revo TCU S-Tronic gearbox map. SO much better now that the engine and gearbox are talking the same language. Not done many miles yet but the car is transformed much better timed and smoother gear changes. Clutch plate clamping force increased to deal with the increased engine torque and no more kick down in M mode.

Milltek have shot their prices up, this time last year you'd get a full system and decat for 1200, now I'm finding them for more like 1900 and more.

Now that I've taken the S3 back off the wife, I'm eager to get some toys!

 

[Rob2k68]

Installed the Redstuff front pads, 22k miles and original pads were about 1/3rd worn (don't worry spanner removed) ....

That sucks ! Been quoted 1550 for resonated, valved with polished oval tips. Downpipe is separate to this and already on but may also need a new link pipe which is constant 3" bore.(Sportback)

Had a go in a Golf R with same spec and was just what I'm looking for very OEM sounding but just that bit more when you press the happy pedal.

Here is my fastest lap 1.56 at Laguna Seca


Car did better than expected however session 5 the car wasn't acting right and multiple misfires, got really humid too. Brakes are shot and are being replaced with stoptechs bbk and fluid.

Anyone have fluid recommendations? Looking forward to the next race!

That's awesome - and you got the Mini - well done !!!

Fluid wise I'm using Castrol React Performance dot 4.

You'll notice the first time he points for me to pass him, I start but then I back off, at that point the car misfires and I'm reduced to 4K RPM. Turn off and on the car and continue, then pass him on the straight.

The last session, I went from 2nd place to 6th because of the continued misfires. A S4 wasn't ankle to pass me up which I thought was interesting too. Was able to pass S4, WRX STI, few Coopers S, Integra and FRS.

Brakes, Rotors, Tires, and how I was able to fit the Ties in the back seat to go back home.
