Had a good weekend at UD, here are a few pictures that I took of mine, only taken i Iphone so the quality is pretty poo, it really doesn't get on well with this indoor lighting!

Only got the car back on the Friday finally with a fixed and furthermore uprated driveshaft after snapping one at santa pod last october!!

Love to see this run at Santa Pod when are you likely to be giving it another blast?

Gutted about that weekend mate :( Bloody typical I had those three runs in the morning in those damp conditions n was really looking forward to getting out after lunch! You got any Santa Pod plans or anything?

Here are a few pictures from GTI International and a video of one of my runs down the strip, I went on the sunday and only got 3 runs in first thing on the strip which was damp as you can see in the video. I was hoping to get a good few dry runs in in the afternoon but the Seat Leon crash put an end to that :s As such the best I managed on my standard road tyres was a 13.8 quarter and a 5.6 0-60 time. Was hoping to be touching more 13.2's with a decent dry start! Anyway....

Yes, tip her over the 400 mark do it :twisted:

I know needs to be done was gutted when they said they just couldnt get that extra 7bhp out of her when she was last mapped :( uprated intake is the way forward i think!

on behalf of a friend: is there any reason why psi didn't use the original BAM engine mounts

Hello sorry for the late reply not been on for a while! Yes the engine is APY not a BAM although I'm unsure of how much the mounts differ between them? but yes I believe the driver side APY mount was not initially used due to the positioning on the chassis ...

Aquamist HFS-3 water injection system and Mocal oil cooler now fitted. Has helped massively with the high oil temps I was seeing and got some lovely cool intake temps now! Lowered about another 5mm on the front as well sits much nicer now I think. Few pictures from Ultimate Dubs below.

Been a while since I've been on here, nothing much happened recently. Am currently rebuilding the BBS's at the moment going for 9's on the back with a 2.5 inch lip. Will add some pictures soon.
