Wow, not updated this in a while! Shocking for me, lol.
Anyway its not so much an update but plan of what I want next! Decided to replace my clutch before it lets go! As that will be a disaster if it went while I was out on the road. The oem clutch is slowly getting worse and I would rather take the prevention route than cure...
This is the kit I will 99% be getting..

El has this on his LCR and its very similarly spec'd with similar power/torque and the same map so I know it can take it.
I will also be getting the Forge side to side movement shortshifter as I already have the front to back one. When this clutch gets fitted I'm going to be getting my gears re-aligned so the changes are as smooth as possible and short and precise!
Won't be cheap inc fitting, but this is future proofing this car for an inevitable clutch failure one day as the car is pushing over 100 lb/ft more than it should be from factory, LOL.
There is far more expensive options out there like the Helix setups etc, but I just don't need that. This kit from Awesome can take over 400 lb/ft. I've driven El's car and it felt very OEM, light clutch pedal and the bite wasn't much different to OEM also. Impressive stuff from Awesome tbh. This car is never going to be big turbo'd while I have it. 300bhp (approx) is enough in a front wheel drive hatch to have loads of fun. I'd want an Evo or something with capable 4WD if I was going 400bhp+....
So yeah that's the latest plan for tune to the car, other than that, 4 weeks today the car will be on the stand at the Bromley Pageant show very local to me. Come along and view all the SEAT's if you haven't been before. There is circa 30 of us going.
Car is running sweet and the decat with the Piper cat back is starting to sound sexual now the warmer temps are hitting us, it sounded awesome tonight and is starting to pop a little too.
