Al's 2010 (60 plate) Speed Blue Revo Stage 2+ Leon Cupra - Moved on to a new home :-)

[Al]

He has 50bhp more so should be aiming at 12.5 but as things stand, he is still behind the blue and red car. I wish him good luck getting whatever goal he is aiming for though - he should surely manage with 407bhp. David has a vid of Anthony and I which he may post up at some point.

Mine has retired from that malarky now anyway - track days appeal more now for several reasons.

I love trackdays too. Hopefully at some point i can get mine down to the ring again as i really enjoyed taking the boc around there last time. Defo a few track days here too. 1/4 miles are fine but too hard on the gearbox imo. I would not mind an evo 9 myself hahahaha.

 

[Al]

I love the 9 - the 5 and 6 are supposed to be the best with regard to maintenance though. Cheaper to buy too - just have to make sure the body and chassis is not rotten.

 

[jc_boc]

Yeah I am also led to believe that the 8 is the most tunable compared to the 9 but don't know how much truth there is to that. Still can't wait to see what you end up getting. When I was up in Edinburugh last week Bryan and I popped into a garage where they were working on a stunning EVO 8. The only other car that really grabs my attention apart from the SEAT tbh.

 

[Al]

I am really lucky that I have Scotland's best Evo specialist, Wallace Performance minutes from where I live so am well sorted . Matty who does the tuning runs an Evo4 with what I am sure is an uprated stroked evo8 engine and 700bhp. He was at Crail recently with it along with Mikes 1000+bhp Evo8.

 

[jc_boc]

Bloody hell!!!! Some serious power there then lol.

 

[Bignod00]

They were scary fast cars, very cool to watch tho!

 

[Al]

I came across a BSH WMI Throttlebody pipe I bought for the old car at the weekend which i never fitted . I sold the WMI kit but wonder if it's worth buying another one for shits and giggles

 

[jc_boc]

LOL, these TBP's seem to be making a strong appearance again. Not too many folk know of the benefits of them. I have one on my wish list at the minute.

Does the 2.0T suffer the same fluid ingress into the TB mechs as the 1.8T when spraying pre-TB?

 

[Al]

I recall some issues that I saw with a WMI kit two years back on another MK2 LC. If the position of the nozzles/s is/areincorrect or if ther is a bad installation, problems can arise and they can be fairly fatal.

WMI clearly has benefits in reducing temperatures allowing timing to be advanced resulting in more power. The Throttlebody pipe I have with the kit I bought two years back was supposed to work well as a combination Though Craig.

 

[csd_19]

Oh definitely Al, no doubts as to the benefits of fitting a WMI setup. I was just asking as I hadn't heard a whole lot about it on the 2.0T compared with the 1.8T

Like you said, shits and giggles would be useful during a toasty day at Crail....

 

[Al]

I am sure I could prove the 12.5

Very nice car Al!!

 

[Al]

Cheers lad - The blue is nice, but I still prefer red

Sadly some of my early cars were red and had no luck in them.
But the custom palatte speed blue is up there with some of the best!!

 

[Al]

Mmmm. I still prefer red. Look at the contrasts below. It sticks out more and shows the lines better in my opinion

Red Bess

Blue Bess

Various other Bess's with Red Bess

With black wheels I am inclined to agree!! But swore I would. Never own another black car!!
