Blyton Update (& R32 Rear's!!)
Sorry dude's, I've been really busy since Blyton and havent got around to looking at any of my pic's yet!
It was a great day out as always and what made it better was that a few lads from on here (Cupra R & Redbull) made the effort to come along and spend a few hours (in the freezing cold) having a chat/laugh at my attempts out on track!
The track was very quiet and cold so it was a LOT more slippery than my last outing.
There was a nice Audi R8 V10 which was sadly being driven by a retard as myself and Andy in his KO4'd A3 were able to hunt him down and pass him on a few occasions!
I did over 100 miles on track so it was well worth the £100 and it was all for charity anyway.
My car has come away from the day needing new discs and pads all round along with a fluid change and also 4 destroyed tyres. All in it was an expensive day but worth it none the less!
These are the only pics ive sorted out yet.......
Myself and Cupra R.
A few of the VAG lads.
A video made by my mate Andy of LVSR. Before anyone says anything, yeah I know my hands are all over the wheel but the video from mine was taken in the afternoon once my brakes were shot (you can hear them) so I wasnt giving it the full beans anymore!

I've also been sorting out my 'new' R32 rear calipers to go on the car next week. Being R32's they obviously started off Blue so I (along with the help of a friend) had to sand them down, Prime/flat then top coat them. They're looking good thanks to Carlo for his hard work!
Taken apart and sanded down.
Masked up and getting their first coat of Primer.
Top Coat complete and masking removed.
Just cannot wait to get these fitted along with the other bits on the brakes should make for a nice improvement.

Mate. It looks like you and Carlo can go into business. The calipers look great.
Did I send you that photo haha. Looks exactly like the one I'd photoshopped on my phone lol.

Hahahaha, cheers matey! I'm happy with how they've turned out too!
That pic is one that I took on my phone and used an app called HDR FX Free to fiddle with, looks ok to me!
Looks good to me too mate ;-)
Does that app enable you to edit the number plate out then too?
I'm tipping it does.

Unfortunately it doesn't enable you to edit the no. plate matey, I jistbdid that (badly) using Photobucket! That's the reason I haven't put more pics up yet as I can't be bothered editing them!
Cheers matey! Would've been a colossal drive for you tho, a bit like me coming to Crail that time!
Thanks buddy!
I'll send you a PM in a second! Haha, legend!
Glad you've decided to get it on the track now matey, it'll be ace when you do! Looking forward to the next time or meet!?!!

Thanks matey!
I was actually really annoyed with how it handled on Suday as the tyres were all shot to hell and my brakes were too!Was infuriating knowing how much faster I could've been!

It looked like the S3's 4WD system didn't do that better than the FWD of yours lol. I suppose in wet conditions it'll be another story,
Yeah, in fact the 4WD seemed to be pushing the car wide in ther corners and mine just hung onto the Apex like a mad thing!
LSD's rule!
So, today I finally got around to sorting out the ride height on my motor. It's going in for some work next week so it'll get realigned again then.
I'm happy with its stance now and think it'll settle a little more over time too. I'm so happy to have the new wheels fitted too, I love them!
