Oh ok sorry i thought it was standard with a cat. no worries maybe next month then. thats good flow for stage 1, im getting 195g/s max but you have no battery restriction so i guess thats why.

not sure why mine it flowing so much. It never used to! New properly gapped plugs, newish MAF, all the PCV and dodgey vacuum hoses removed etc all helped. Massive cone filter helps too

Still back home buddy; should be back in a couple of weeks. I am currently flowing over 220g/s at the MAF even with the OEM downpipe; which equates to ~280bhp without taking account of the WMI so I am happy enough with that at the moment! It isn't completely standard exhaust, no cats and no resonator box, just oem downpipe and backbox with a pipe linking them effectively :)
DPJ said the LCR downpipes are pretty good so I guess they are when you decat.

Good work/vid Danny - I got my 5.5Ltr screenwash tank going in soon ;)

I wonder what that could be for Maz ;) Will be interested to see what WMI can do for a diesel.. after all, it was used in diesel tuning before petrol.

Great to see somebody really pushing on at the ring. Don't know if I'll be that brave when i ever go. That is a good time as-well, you managed to hang on to that porker for a few minutes:clap:

Cheers :) Hopefully going out again in July to get a proper dry lap in! It really is worth the trip, even if you just go to spectate, to touristy things and enjoy the scenic views of the region!

Also seems I'm not the only one called *** on here ^^^^

Hello mate! I do tend to loiter around these parts far too much!

What is the Ibiza you have bought? 1.8t?

You modding it?

There is a guy in b'ham that powder coats wheels for £20 if you take them with no tyres on; might be worth a look!

Other plans sound good.. prepare yourself for this site to empty your wallet!!

Just Returned from 14 laps at the Nurburgring

Update:

I have just returned from a week at the Nurburgring. 14 laps this trip making a total of 31 so far. For the trip I used Pirelli P-Zero Corsa tyres and carbotec XP8 brakes pads with CRN grooved discs. My methanol system died the day before I went so I was running ~260-270bhp.

I managed a fastest of 8min36.8second lap with a yellow flag to slow down for :D The car did extremely well, overtaking numerous Porsches, Evo's, Suburas, TVRs, you name it!

My only issues were dried out CV joints after doing 2 laps on the trot; a quick regrease sorted this out! The amount of grip from the Corsa tyres is literally unbelievable, and the brakes were fantastic with zero fade!

Now for the interesting bit, some pictures of one offensive looking LCR:
