Went to Santa Pod RWYB event today.

Had 8 runs, and the best was 14.9600 @ 96.68 mph.

Bit disappointed, was hoping for a little quicker. Not bad considering it was my first ever drag stip action and it was bloody freezing and struggled for grip! Awesome adrenaline rush though :p

Went on a tunnel run Saturday night to test the new MAF. Found a bloody awesome deserted tunnel in the middle of nowhere in Wycombe, made the cars sound amazing! First tunnel was too busy so only stayed there for a few runs.

Cars are: My Leon Cupra R, Kyle's (Kyle'87) Ibiza Cupra & Dans Astra SRi Turbo.

Then drove the car again yesterday and another coilpack has gone, the third in three months [:@] not happy. New one arrives Tuesday.

Nice results from the machine polish. Im toying with the idea of getting myself one.

What mods are next on the list then?

Well ive been out of work for the past few months so been struggling to afford the car really.

But I start my new part time job on Friday and also have promising signs of a graduate job too so things are looking up.

Next on the list are:

4x Vred Sessanta Tyres (Needed badly!)
Forge Front Mount Intercooler
Boost gauge in Nomad Pod
Wheel Refurb
Brembo Refurb including discs and pads
Service
