Another successful track day at castle Combe , now running mintex 1144 and typ200 brake fluid and it’s way better then EBC and other pads I’ve tried

But ...
a purchase was made

This is my cupra r donor car ,

I have had the suspension off it , the wheels and the brembos .

The car is now broken down and scrapped sadly

I will be getting the calipers painted up as faded and the wheels done in grey I think

I’m considering removing the wrap and going back to black ,

Thoughts black or yellow ??

I can't decide what to do with it , i personally love the yellow but its been wrapped yellow for over a year now and do want to go back to black but then everytime it comes to removing the wrap i bottle it because i like the yellow ,

considering other colours too , grey possibly not decided yet ,
ill keep the wrap on for winter protection and then make a move in spring ,

brembo's have been shot blasted this week so need to get them and the wheels painted now .

Do a Matt black bonnet until you strip it. Then wrap it white. Grey would look dull I think.

I’ve had some samples come in and quickly thrown them on a mirror cap (not professional just to gauge colour )

I also had some Metallics and a green but I think I’m feeling the grey


I’ve refurbished the Calipers ready to go on

Just need to source disc’s and pads now and then I’ll get them fitted up .

Not had the wheels done yet but I’m hoping that will be this side off Christmas

I’m also planning to have a go at vlogging on YouTube with this and the mods . Also got some plans to do stuff with my bike too

Not sure how it will work out or not but I fancy giving it ago and covering track days too .

Here’s my channel

Nothing much on there at the minute except some anti lag clips and flames but I plan to start putting out content soon so if you could give me a subscribe that would be cool ,

I was out doing a job removing a Datsun dashboard for a customer last week who was going to be re-trimming it ,
We got talking and the gent said he would recover my armrest to match the cupra r seats ,
He said it won’t be perfect and would be a very quick on the side job , but anything is better than my attempt as when I got it the material was cream leather and I did it in black leather .

Here’s how it looks. Bit out of shape at the moment because I had a 3L coke bottle on it whilst the glue was setting

M140i is a quick car, will make your track car obsolete because the bwm would murder the seat in standard form, remap it and my god! Love how they pull as hard from 100 to 150 as they do from 60 to 100. Congratulations mate and a great choice and spec.

Oh I know 100% agree but was too much risk to put it on the track in my eyes as I was just shy of £40k

With the seat no risk only personal injuries in my eyes so happy to go mad in it :)

Should be here end of the month I’ll post pictures up on arrival

100% , I can feel her getting neglected but I’m going to try keep the seat spirit alive ,

I’ll rather excited for the m140i , got it at a knock down price too through a work contact via park lane.

I’m thinking getting the Remus or M performance exhaust and a tune but reading about these jb4 and blue spark boxes but worries about them being no good and may pay for a proper dyno tune but people sware by the jb4 ?
