Tris's Trackday & Family Leon Cupra(Snetterton Report)

Whats your next plans then Tris? Hybrid turbo?

I dont think that would be big enough due to it only being the same as a LCR

 

[jonjay]

So your thinking bigger? just wondering where your car is heading as a project

 

[tris]

Its sort of done but as I now have a work car I never use it so could go a bit more but on the other hand do I spend more now that it only comes out the garage a few times a month

Small update

Took the car down to the Motorest Centre yesterday for the cambelt and metal water pump just to be on the safe side as well as a service ahead of Cadwell
So now she is already for next weeks trackday

to be honest... im just getting a bit bored of it...i was toying with the idea of getting facelift bumpers for it... and then get it mapped.... at least then it will go and look like a new car! but the facelift kit will set me back a few quid including painting.... and from the dealers would cost a fortune!! but on the other hand i fancy an M3 ... decisions... decisions

 

[tris]

Pre face lift dont go for much so you may lose out on selling a good car for very little

How did the Differential feel then?

I've got my gear box on the way to stealth Racing to get my gear box refurbed and Autotech Wavetrac diff fitted
Canna wait to get this on

 

[tris]

It was SUPERB was taking some of the corners 10mph faster then last year could not belive how well it worked
A must for all that do trackdays

 

[Willie]

So not only did it allow you to get out of the corners quicker, it also allowed you to get into them quicker too?
Were you really pushing it?
Do you feel it kicking in or is it just that you have more traction without noticing the diff doing its bit?

It definitely does from my experience. If you time it well when planting your foot it launches you out with amazing speed.
