Amjad

If I'm not mistaken his name is Matt, walked over with him when I said hi to you guys at the services You too Brad, didn't get a chance to speak to you properly or check out the car, next time eh! Nah I wouldn't have minded if you came over at all. I didn't realise you were "you" until I saw your FB pics earlier today It was you that was asking for Steve at the services right? Hmm I'm gonna speak to Ricky about buying a new one and see what he says about warranty etc, switched the old OEM one back on today so not crucial at the moment Just about to book track sessions for JF2, I'm not giving up on this brat just yet! lol

Basically what Amir & Ryan said, oil feed Friday I rushed back to Cardiff from uni to get cracking on the car. Plan: - Strip it out - Swap rear suspension from N/A (as this is on stock springs) - Swap discs/pads from N/A (again as this has OEM items) - Fit my Race-Tech Braided oil line Managed to get everything stripped leaving the drivers seat, good stuff. Moved on to swapping the suspension. Now when the car went for MOT the rear lowering springs were snapped, so I had them replaced with stock ones as a temporary measure. Little was I to know the bastards that fitted the shocks back in over-tightened the bottom 14mm bolt/nut so it was seized to fcuk! And to make things even worse, when I jacked the car up the axle fell down; the cowboys didn't put nuts on the top mount bolts, but instead on the false studs that are on the shell! So there was little I could do about changing the shocks and springs over, I just secured the top mounts back in..moving on to the brakes now! So I replaced my N/A's pads last year, so everyting was good, until yesterday when a bolt on the caliper was rounded thanks to rust...so brakes didn't happen either! So..Japfest! Arrived all good, car was fine as far as I knew..Watching all the Hondas etc on track was making me proper nervous about my session but hey! We drove to the briefing, and on our was back as I was parking back up, a kind member of the public pointed out that my car was leaking oil Jacked it up, and sure enough it was dripping from the new (but second hand) Race-Tech oil feed. Naturally, I assumed I just hadn't tightened the bolts up enough, so tightened those and then got on to fitting Yellow Stuff pads I bought off Shane to give me a little more reassurance out there on track! Fitted the pads in fine, dropped the car back down and started it up, 10 minutes before I'm due out on track. Pumped up the brakes, and the pedal was still on the floor! :L Jumped out to check the oil leak was gone..in 30 seconds of running it had made a small puddle! So yeah, track wasn't happening! Gary (GBR) had a look at the oil feed for me, and concluded that it wasn't down to me not tightening the bolts, or an issue with gaskets as it was leaking from near where the 19mm bolt goes in; where the bracket is pressed onto the braided flexible part of the line! Gary also had a look at the brakes, the caliper sliders were pretty seized, especially on one side, thankfully he managed to resolve that issue by loosening them up so I had brakes to get home. The issue with the oil clearly wasn't gonna be fixed there so I topped up and we set off home. Literally crawled along, didn't let it touch boost or go over 2500rpm. Topped up oil by the Severn bridge and then got home safe and sound. Dunno what to do about oil line now. It was a Race-Tech item, but second hand, sold as fully working. It's ironic as I expected the OEM one to fail on track! Don't know whether to buy a new OEM one or get a braided one..does anyone know if Ricky as a warranty on his oil lines? Was bloody GUTTED I couldn't go out on track but it was a blessing in disguise I suppose, if I wasn't told about the oil leak my engine would surely have gone pop. As you can tell all these issues in such a short space have really pissed me off, but not to worry I WILL be on track soon and better than before! Planning to do what I can afford to uprate the handling and brakes over summer to make thing thing feel at ease on a track..well that's the plan anyway! Apart from this "small mishap" Japfest was great, nice to meet some new people and put some faces to names etc. Didn't get to meet many people at the stand and I don't think I even managed to take a look around because I was busy faffing around with this shed when I was planning to have a wander round! Thanks to Gary, Ryan, Shane and everyone else who helped me out yesterday, couldn't have gotten home without your help x

Haha you guys thought Shane was me

Hey Rob, was trying to get onto UKSC to grab your number so I could ring you about the exhaust but I wasn't getting any reception lol I'll try to remember bringing it with me when I leave for Soton tomorrow!

Just want to say thanks for sorting an awesome day out Steve! Didn't get to meet/speak to as many as you guys as I would've have liked thanks to the car

What's the procedure with briefings etc guys? I'm trying to get hold of some track sessions so I'd like to know lol

It should arrive Saturday night/Sunday..that's the plan anyway lol Yeah so as my Avatar tag says, Starlet fiend

There's a place doing remaps for VAG TDis for £220 this month apparently! Tuningfactory.co.uk but they're in Reading

Dad's replaced his Tropicana Sportif with this SR! Group shot My brother found this and convinced my Dad to buy it lol: 46,000 miles completely standard 1999 model with all the original TTE bits and bobs! It will simply be a restoration project; wanna keep it a mint SR! My inspiration is JAG's old SR (which is desperately wanted when I saw it up for sale before I got my NA lol) Drove it today; feels really nice and smooth, yet chuckable which surprised me for a bog standard SR! Washed it today and just fitted some White LED sidelights and my old K&N Panel filter. There aren't going to be many updates for a while as I've decided to get my twat of a GT more track prepped for July! Anyoo hope you like!

Looks great! How much you reckon the hot pipe will cost to get done? I'm trying to think what to do when I go TD04

I'm trying really hard to make an appearance at JF on Saturday, if it rains I'm seriously gonna bitchslap someone lol

I love Meguiar's stuff, everything they make smells buff haha (another reason you guys always see me cleaning at shows )

Wheels look so much better refurbed! Man this is gonna look so fresh once detailed!

Sick!

^You don't need a RRFPR for Plug & Play And at 1 bar you'll most certainly see over 180bhp 1.2 bar gives about 200-205bhp
