Ahh man sounds like a real headache, but hopefully your thro the worst of it and from here on in it's just smooth sailing...hope you can get the figures your after, good luck for next week...

Cheers 

Yeah just a bit of a headache.  But.....if the cam problem wasn't found then it could have got messy.  Fixing that was the new-clutch-if-it-starts-slipping budget.  It's well over budget but oh well!

Glad it's getting sorted mate! Keep us posted. I'll defo be nipping down for a spin when it is all up together! 

Yeah sound mate.  I'll look forward to it.  Think a weekend at a show or something is needed too

UPDATE - SMF and uprated clutch fitted.  Really can't live with it, chatters like hell and totally spoilt the drive of the car.  Good idea as fit and forget, but not for me at all.  Too much noise!!!

Looking at swapping back to a DMF and uprated friction plate.  Plus while the box is back off it's getting a Quaife (i think) ATB diff fitted.  Should make a hell of a difference.

Also, picked up some Brembo 4 piston calipers, braided hoses and discs today from Baxxy.  Really pleased with these, they will look the nuts.  He a top bloke too, talks more random sh!t than me!

UPDATE

Car has been final mapped today at JabbaSport

It made 221BHP and 355FtLb......

The diff, rollbars and dual mass have been fitted too.



Pick it up on Wednesday

UPDATE: -

Not been on for a while as i've had no tinterweb at home.

So far the car is finished apart from the brakes.

So it now stands as........

Jabbasport Stage 2 GT17VNT Hybrid
Jabbasport RR mapped
Turbo back Milltek non-resonated exhaust
Bilstein B12 dampers (I think)
Eibach springs
Eibach F+R anti roll bars
Sachs Clutch + DMF
Quaife ATB diff
Airblade front valance
Anniversary skirts + rear valance.

The car itself is running well.  The added bodywork has really changed the look of it.  Looks a lot more squat and aggressive.  Just need to sort that spacers out, then fit the brakes.  I'll post a topic about that in the relevant section, so any help appreciated.

Ongoing plans will be either an SFS or Allard hard pipe kit, with an S3 intercooler to suit (technical digging needed)
