  1. Both the Grey & Red EP3's are 210-215bhp. (Low Miles, Gruppe-M Intake, Cat-Back Exhausts & Fully Stripped Out (No Carpets, Roof Liners, Plastics. etc)) They are very well prepared. On a bigger track they will walk away from this GT Im sure. Yeh, the GT is very basic. Even with my lack of racing driver talent and with a very basic spec GT, chasing something like that is fairly respectable.
  2. Hasn't moved this year. Have so much money in it now that using it is always a worry lol. Especially with the quality of some of the driving I have seen on track days recently! Crash this GT I can just reshell it. No Harm Done. The Glanza has pretty serious fab and mods to make a re-shell very expensive and time consuming. Might change but for the time being, cheap thrills! May change someday but for time being.... Very impressive. Up there with AD08's! I got a great deal on mine, £200 delivered pretty much! Which is awesome! When you get them up to temp. I was very impressed!
  3. This is true and I have been practising. Size 13 feet do make it more difficult tho tbh im just being lazy..
  4. Had some fun with some mates yesterday. I live 2 miles from Blyton Park, so can go a little harder then normal without worrying about getting home lol. They both have some seriously spec'd EP3's. (Red & Grey). Don't expect miracles. Its only lightly modded. Engine: Exhaust, Decat, FMIC, E-Manage Blue Mapped to 1bar. Stock Engine & Turbo. Chassis: Whiteline Rear Anti-Roll Bar, Whiteline Front Camber Bolts, Alignment. 195/50/15 Federal 595RSR. Video of Highlights: >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S26mhgkK9Uo Some areas where aero is really needed and my driving skills need honing too, However! Smiles per Miles!
  5. 280bhp. Very few people have had failures. Failures come when you start to run over 300bhp+. Its always 3rd gear. At that power level you can spin the wheels psychically coming on to boost and when it starts to bite traction is when the stress comes and you'll strip it.
  6. Sweet Dude! Glad to see the car is performing and reliably too! Keep us posted, loved the battle with the 106 too hehe.
  7. Well handled at 12:50. Looked a bit understeery towards the end. What tyres were u on? 20-25min sessions are not long enough really to get to know a track. Up at Blyton, took me and a few mates half a day last month and 5-6 sessions to really get to know it. Then we were nailing it consistently in the afternoon! Looking good tho dude!
  8. I have one. In Gainsborough, Fire me a PM
  9. Me and some mates are at Blyton on the 14th May if your ready in time Tim!
  10. Not only further apart. But, The ports are huge. So yeh, non starter!
  11. Scrap the idea. The ports aren't even close. The 2zz ports are also HUGE in comparison.
  12. Looking good lad!

  14. For an everyday car, this time of year withthe rain.. The RS3s take some beating!

  17. Welcome to UKSO! Good to see you on here Jake! I sold you this, so pleased to hear your taking it in the right direction! Hope you and your dad got home safe! Get a project thread going, I'll enjoy watching the progress!
  18. Excellent Work Dude. It will be running in no time! Liking the neat approach putting senders for gauges in disused factory positions! etc
  19. You best stock up on some polish lad! Good progress with the car. Get that gearbox sorted and it will be ripping up the tarmac this summer! Keep us all posted
  20. Looking good lad. Crank it for a good solid minute with fuel and spark off. To build oil pressure in the engine and turbocharger. Then with fuel enabled. Keen eyes on the fuel system for leaks as thats the most dangerous part. If thats all good, fire it up completely and look for oil and water

  22. The heater matrix can actually help cool the system too as its a mini radiator in effect. So that wont help. If you get one of the much bigger triple core ones. I cant see you having a major issue on a 20min session at your power level, unless your on track for 50min sessions. If you are going to have a problem though, it will be in summer in 30c ambients....
