looking awesome there matey.

did you get any videos from the day?
any more plans for the car?

hey bud, no didnt get any vids but found us in a video on you tube where we go bye a red top bodied corsa(about 8 mins in!).

next plans are gti 6 brakes, another oil cooler then hit jap fest on the track!!.

cheers:y:

yeah found that out bud when went into tower at 110 and had no brakes.

all good fun tho, it was metal to metal braking so still had summit there!!!!.
haha

the paint has bubbled on the steels they got so hot...
:panic:

seriously quick motor there chris.

cheers bud, yeah she is quick for something we built by ourselves in a farm worksop where i go shooting.

it would be kicking out loads more power too if i had the £££ to buy some 490cc injectors so thats holding her back too!!!

thanks:y:

she seems to go well, would be good to see some in car footage..

go get some injectors and a remap and it will be good for another 20bhp

prob about another 30-40 bud, dollar tho?. need to see if it survives hjap fest bud!!!.

out with the big boys:panic:

maybe 30-40 but on standard pistons.... make sure she's safe on the timing.

i suppose its all down to money, but if you look at it.. its 200quid for an extra 30'ish bhp and thats good value for power.

yeah good point bud, it mapped for safeness too which is partiallly why its still alive.

thats another reason why i havent changed inectors bud is with it being on the original standrd engine of 104k, so thats partially why i dont wanna hit anymore out of it, would blow it slef to pieces.

its 204.6bhp now and 218lb/ft torque@ 10 psi, its good enough cheap fun for a laugh on the track!.

2 head gaskets are doing the job lovely of dropping the compression(bodge)!!:panic:

cheers dan,
chris

thats still a good figure condidering its safe.

i suppose its down to what you want to do with the car as to whats next?

you could get another 16v engiine and fit some forged pistons, then youd be good for 300bhp<... but its more money.
or you could get spare engine and wind boost up (and injectors) till your happy or she blows then put the newer engine in.?..

thats sort of the idea, if it goes bang. pich up a bottom end like off your self. bolt the head on and go again, that way never lose much money and ilt only a bit of time but thats the fun in playing with it.

if i get money id like to do pistons, rods etc but then your in the relmes of the gearbox shitting it self, then thats more money and hassle.

i think she is in a good place now between budget and power, we have done over a 1000 track miles with the turbo on and about 1500 with the bodis before so she is holding up well!!:p

cheers

Thats my mate stewarts vid. Its actually only a 1.6 with different inlet and exhaust. Goes very well for what it is.
I was passanger with tony on the silver caged mk4 golf in that session :)

thanks mate for correcting me,my bad. Thats what you get when you listen and talk to people that claim there friends of certain people(like the corsa owner) as i really like that car, real tidy track motor.

she does go well too, i remember when i wad just the bodies on the saxo and managemnet. he would come by me and i couldnt catch him!!.

i think up combe a lot of cars are much of a much ness, as the track is quite a fast one a lot of it comes down to cornering, grip etc.

did you boys have a good day up there? at least the weather was kind!. done 4 track days before spring action day this year and they were all pissing it down with rain!!.

cheers:y:

theres till a bit more meat left for another track day lol, not, they proper fubard, red stuff, they look like yellow to me;).
car is fooking awesome. love it buddy.:y:

the yellow is where the red stuff paint got so hot and turned yellow, yeah she is good, got some new brakes then hitting the track next weeknd!!.

cheers:y:

Very nice car there mate, would be good to see some on board footage, etc!

hopefully bud i have got a camera sorted for japfest, so fingers crossed it will be hooked up and get some photage this time!!..

cheers:y:

Yer goes well, can tell yours certainly has legs on the straight :y:

Yer we had a good day, as you say can't have asked for better weather. Come stick your head into the weekendracer stand next time you see it and il hook you up with some free burgers etc ;)

I share your pain on the rain front as I did brands and bedford and both were wet as fuck :(

yeah that will be spot on bud, when im next down and i see the corse ill come say hello.

im down at japfest next weekend doing track time so dont know if your be there, if not it will prob be summer action day will get to chat!:y:

cheers chris
