Good work mate, really liking the mirrors, nice touch!

 

[tyrer]

Cheers for comments, I'm very happy with the bits done to the exterior, mirrors are one of my favourite subtle changes.

Just waiting for payday so I can get skinning the splitter in real carbon.

Well I have 3 fault codes at the moment so I'll be surprised if it's making that currently, lol.

Goes with the territory, that's why I'm trying to tell myself stage 1.

Must be good to be one of the first if not the first on the KO4 to hit 300

Adam (coops10) on here pulled 304.9bhp before me bud. I made 283 that day pre Badger5 TIP. He had it on as you can tell!!

But it felt good on the rolling road day to make that, as it was on the same rollers it made 283 etc, so it's nice to see the investment doing the business. And it feels rapid on the road to drive, but smooth aswell so it's driveable as normal.

Stage one is still quick too! Not much difference really if your cars healthy you can crack 280bhp on stage one.

I remember now! Yours is evidence of how good the badger TIP is with such close RR figures.

283 with forge TIP but unadapted stage 2 map, then 3 weeks or so later, badger5 TIP ADAPTED, and 300.5bhp.

Was a colder day when it was mapped and made 283 by the way.

Purchased this today, just wait on the delivery then the shed becomes my home again for a few nights.

Also off to Awesome tomorrow for my Vacuum hosing so I can finally get it sorted

 

[tyrer]

So this weekend I will mostly be

Sorting my vacuum leak - only 4mm this month

Adding some stickers... Unsure where yet.

Attempting some skinning with the real carbon fibre, the kit is really good, let's see if it all goes to plan.
Hhhmmmm real carbon

Yeah I remembered your measurement pics from when I did my badges so that's where it's going,

Hoping to have a little carbon left for a little idea I have, subtle like my mirrors,

 

[tyrer]

So here is my carbon fibre splitter so far

Prep via sanding

It got messy

Before trimming

And right now

Cars getting a wash before I put the finishing coats on the splitter

 

[tyrer]

And after it's first epoxy top coat, very happy with it, worst part was the joins as it's made up of 5 pieces of the carbon fibre sheet - cut.

1 of the joins is a little messy but I I'm honest for £50 and a few hours of my time I am more than happy as it was cracked and this has repaired it.

Anyway pics here and tomorrow will be the sand and buff before fitting.

 

[t32er]

looking forward to seeing the end product and then you doing mine

 

[tyrer]

Test fitted.... Sneaky close up shot against the silver... I love it!!!

Real pics soon

 

[t32er]

i like, i like a lot

Great Job with the splitter mate
