Deffo. It has potential and is breaking less frequently I think. Mainly because most of it is new I suppose

Planning a track evening shortly.. was pondering taking it to limitless @ pboro this weekend but a trek and a half for you

Do you track yours or is it too noisy?

been a bit mad busy of late, missus not well so the car has just been in reliability testing mode. Made me laugh when my lad told me to boot it then laughed and said 'dad you HAVE fixed it'.. he was unimpressed by performance sans boost haha

Went to Donny tonight.. briefly.

98db drive by limit so Bookatrack kindly let me do 3 laps to test the noise.. which was 106db drive by. balls.

My findings
1. It's too loud for most tracks in current trim (some are 105db but only no limits day, which are more £ and full of race cars, will be ok for it as is
2. It gets warm after 3 laps so prob needs a vented bonnet
3. My SPA OT gauge has a shit plug on it or the sensor is fubar
4. The brakes were terrible, i was following a lotus who was really badly over braking and not letting people by quickly, he/she cooked my brakes

grip was great.. power was good.. it didnt break much..

What exhaust are you currently running to be that loud. I thought you had gone back to the oem exhaust.

I had a custom made, it's modelled on the HKS which is pretty quiet but has a bigger centre silencer

BaT reckoned both induction and BOV where a factor but I think drive by I'll always be struggling. Tim S told me he used stock and got good times on his Hill climb stuff.

I also think temps are going to be an issue so it might be time to change tack. I need some track time in my life.
