    Didnt realise I haven't updated this for so long! Mapping went well but think it needs to go back for a check as it got wayy faster in the afternoon of the first trackday lol, I forgot to mention to the tuner that the engine had been sat 9 years and just thrown on the Dyno, I think it must have...

    K24 EK Testing @ Cadwell

    Thanks for the kind words guys:) more to come yet, believe it or not im still getting some understeer on corner exit when pushing on even with the 255 front, hopefully some geo and a front splitter will help and then after that it will be plated diff and some 1b semi slick to step it up another...

    Car is now running great! idle is spot on now and just confirmed mapping on August 16th, fairly long wait but plenty to do to the car and I'm sure it will come round rather quickly I'm close to getting ahead of myself and even booking Cadwell for August 24th but I'll wait to see how mapping...

    I don't have a wideband or any O2 sensors for that matter, I think it's something as simple as adjusting the idle screw on the tb, for some reason I assumed k20 didn't have one so will check that tonight It's running fine now by seems of things (as good as it can on a basemap I imagine) no more...

    Yeah keep forgetting about this build thread! I'll get it back upto date Finally received my Kpro and shortly after I got my 3" exhaust done which I'm going to have to get an extra silencer added into as it isn't going to pass noise regs as it is With the exhaust done I finally started it up...

    Yeah I was the same, don't like the bolt on arches! Tbh I was torn between these wheels in +22 and +40, they both had same concave face also, only thing that swayed me was that these came up for sale in the UK. I think a 255 on a 9j +40 would just miss hub with a 5mm spacer on, 235/245 tyre...

    Few bits been going on, car got ignition the other day, went to crank it over and absolutely nothing! Took starter off to test and that was fine, realised there was no power to it so traced it back and I must've cut the ground for it out when stripping the loom down, woops! Sorted now just...

    Thanks for the kind words everyone:D So I made my brake lines a few weeks ago out of copper and I really hated the way they looked (mainly because I made them badly) and in the process I ruined the threads on my bias valve because it came with some fittings to convert to another thread pitch...

    Yeah I cut all the triple skinned bits out on the corners, needed some tactical cutting to pick away at each layer haha I was very skeptical but just tried to cut as much as I could out because they was spare and they aren't bad at all, on the car I can shake them about, very flimsy but I can...

    Golf was tuned around 360bhp and we was dead level, was the first car I'd come across that wasn't slower, was faster than an e92 m3!

    I have some complete manual window doors with speakers and mirrors etc which was 34kg each and these now weigh 12.1kg but that's without mirror and plastic window I've cut quite a lot out, all around right upto the outer skin, through where the door check straps mount and just cut around the...

    Thanks! Basically I was just being stupid with someone I knew who was in a golf R, going way too fast for a corner with cold a048 on rear, got a big wiggle on and as I was straightening the oversteer out into outside lane I noticed the golf was on my rear quater , swerved to avoid while back...
