Cheers for the comments folks!

Some parts have arrived.....

The build is going to take place over the winter now, leaving the car as is for the trackday I have booked so I can get a feel for the car before I start making any changes.

Few more parts are still to arrive so will keep you updated!

Cheers

nice car pal

Bit of an update,

Pace cooler, new k&n fitted and a nur spec that has been modded to go as trail hit as possible fitted

Tweaked map at 1.4 bar and whaallla

Delighted with the results, mapped by Matty at Wallace performance who held it back to keep it safe!

Seats, harnesses and harness bar fitted

Then off I went to my first track day in the evo! Was a brilliant day and a huge learning curve coming from the Clio, you can't just chuck it about which I learnt the hard way after 3 laps.......... No damage done though!

Car is off the road now over winter to change a few things and refresh some other parts. New engine will be going in as well.

Can't wait to get back on track next year and get a few sprints under my belt as well!

Cheers
