Went out for a blip in this yesterday. It handles immensely imho, seriously couldn't believe the difference the coilover setup makes. Ride seemed firm and solid, compared to mine that's a pig. Definitely +1000 on the GHA's now

HUGE UPDATE.
I ordered some led sidelights/number plate and interior lights last night. Bright white.
But I did collect this also.
And today it's come to my attention that my current engine is pissing oil out the cam covers at a silly rate...

So on Friday just gone, me and my old man set about removing the old tired leaky engine.
Everything went ahead straight forward, no issues at all, removed that, removed box/clutch/flywheel to put into the new engine.
Also fitted my powerflex black series lower mount
And then I forgot to take more pictures, so I'll grab some of the new engine in later.
The car drives so much better now, pulls a lot harder, accelerates a lot better and seems much faster in general.
The only issue I had was because the jp4s pulleys aren't adjustable at all the cams are on standard timing, so when slowing down fast it would cut out, now this was annoying and especially when I went to pick up a mate the other day at a packed shopping centre kinda place and the only way I could keep the car running was to rev it.
I will be fitting a 3.5bar fpr soon to try and help this but I have also adjusted the idle, so it now idles a little higher and seems to have stopped the stalling.
Also here's a quick vid of the idle:-

I can't say for sure because I only went out with your old engine briefly, but the power seems constant with no drops like you said! When you were doing a certain speed, I honestly didn't expect to be doing that haha. Looking forward to Llandow, will be awesome

Yeah that certain speed, it gets there relatively fast.
Yours is still extremely rapid for a standard 16v, very strong engine. And the pops yours make haha

Apparently llandow don't sound test all the time, but I am a bit worried about that so may out my silenced centre back on for the day just incase, it is noticeably louder now with the cammed engine. Although it does sound pretty awesome on full chat and engine braking just gives loads of pops and a few bangs too, and we all know everyone loves pops and bangs.
I'll get the gopro out later perhaps and see if I can get a bit better video of it.

Had a day at llandow last Saturday...
Loved it, car ran spot on all day, needed a drop of water that's it.
I finished off the front 2 T1Rs, which will be getting replaced with rainsport 3s.
Oh and here is simplejoee
And here's a video of my second session, not the best lines was still getting to grips, will upload some later sessions to YouTube later, was noticeably faster.
http://youtu.be/-EW9xAfMRqY
Also Thursday night I picked up some cobra imola 2s for a bargain price of £70, they weigh next to nothing being fibreglass, but I do need to go on a diet as they are a tight fit, those who have met me know I'm not small 😂
Last night, after a spirited drive, chasing and beating some sales rep in his Audi A4, I parked up in asda, went to pick some beers up, got back in car and wouldn't start, thiught hmm it's the cams playing funny fuckers again, tried again give it gas and were away, drive off and it started spluttering and died and I couldn't get it going.
Hour later my dad comes to the rescue with a spare coil pack and it starts lol
Next up is satchshift, AD08s to go on my pro race 1.2s and another track day booked.
