That's the bit that's worring me, all these hybrid k03 turbo's and im running nowhere near what i could be, don't think i can afford rods before the track day tho

 

[ian_cupra]

fair enough, not even sure what mines running to be honest, feels bloody quick though

 

[roly]

That's what i keep saying about mine, im not fussed aslong as it goes well either

 

[ian_cupra]

exactly, i'm off to nurburgring in just over a week, so will see just how well it goes then

 

[roly]

I'll make it there one day, a passport would be a good start

Good to hear it's all done. What do they change in the turbo to make it hybrid then? Just a larger compression wheel?

typical things like a larger clipped compressor wheel, 360 degree thrust bearing, smoothed turbine housing, larger intake sometimes...

cheers peeps big secret whats done to this hybrid i dunno what its had done

 

[ian_cupra]

heres a couple from my nurburgring trip last month

didnt manage any timed laps this year, except the first one, which was 9 min 17 secs, so 1 second behind last years, but being the first lap out thought was rather impressive considering i'd forgotten most the track never got another chance for a timed lap due to the track being very busy and lots of accidents, great trip all in all, until the manifold to turbo gasket went but before that the car was amazing, so so fast, loving the hybrid.

next up is the SCN cadwell park trackday, lets see if it can stay in one piece for that

[ian_cupra]

ouch, there was alot of people coming off this year, madness, so far from home to be without your car

i always take it that little bit easier when i'm over there to what i do on a track over here, except for one scary moment i had at 140

 

[X_Lollypop_X]

lol he had taken it there loads and thought he was billy big bollox and just pressed the break too hard and the back end just came out lol i actually think he cried. Hes got another supra now though but its whether or not he will learn lol

Glad you had a good time mate, car looks amazing on track!
Shame about the gasket blowing though

 

[ian_cupra]

well hope he has learnt

cheers martin, goes so well, i was well pissed off about the gasket, had to leave it at the hotel for 2 days while my mate (dozza.13 on here) took his around wasnt happy

That can't of been much fun! I'm guessing the drive back was a bit rubbish too!?

There's always next time though I've gotta try and go next year!
