Hi.Nice car!
Can i just ask, where have you got the wide arch front wings from?
Cheers
To be honest I have been speak to the mechanic amd he has strongly advised against the front wings.
The reason I wanted them was to fit a wider rim on the front so I could put a wider tyre on for more grip and he said it would make the car handle like a pig.
He said a good suspension setup and a remap so its not as torquey low down would reduce the traction loss. So I am getting it remapped now instead.

That mean they are for sale? I’m running 9j all round. Also another thing are you going to cage it?

They might be. I do admit it looks beasty with them on (not fitted just hung next to).
I have a set of JRacing bronze 9j from an old skyline which has the 5 x 100 stud pattern on when wheel. This is what I was going to fit.
Not 100% made my mind up.
Me too.
But I have just had my paddle clutch fitted and dont really want to shell out so soon to have everything removed again.
I think I am going to map it and see how that goes. If ot still struggles then prob go down big turbo and rod job and aim for 350HP then get diff. I even considered a full running gear change from a TT but that would need a load of welding and flooring cut which can be a nightmare to get road legal.
I looked at a Wavetrak LSD but your looking at £1000 fitted.
There is a chap in Runcorn who maps cars and its only 25 mins away. He did my mates R26 Megane and thats a hoot.
Yeah a whole heap of money. But best done before you achieve 350 gee gees or it’ll be a nightmare.

Hi
Bilsteins are on and H&R ARB's. Another oil and filter change and fuel filter was corroded and leaking.
Car has been transformed and handles really well. Booked trackday for the 7th March.
Booked into.Unicorn for a custom map next week. Should be interesting

Golf r boys seem to love this tuner. Comes highly recommended. What's the cost of the custom map from them?

I have never heard of them TBH and Badger5 is just too far away. As you say Golf R and S3 lads love it on forums so gave them a call. Cost is 350.00 all in. Dyno before and after which not a lot of people do (Never got it with me Revo)

Post up your Dino sheets.
Good luck.

Dyno to follow.
Revo Map 256BHP and 320 ftlbs. Both peaking at 3500 revs and then dropping faintly to 4500 then steeply to 7000 revs. A little bit deisel like to be honest but the car did feel quick but ran out of puff.
Rick said dropping the torque and having a flatter curve would be benficial on track.
Results are now 280BHP and 300 ftlbs.
Happy with the results bit it was raining hard when I left so couldnt try it or the flat lift. Tried the launch control which TBH is more for amusement than anything.
Will take car out at weekend of its dry to give it a whirl.
