Good stuff with the handling arb’s. They do make a big difference.
Now you’ll have to lift off mid corner to have it step out
People always impressed when on track how stable the back end of my car is.
K brace is your next step.
For an extra 40 quid add Whiteline Racing front control arm bushes with added castor.
Turn in changes with less front end oversteer.
Car feels much more planted.
A great mod that makes a difference that’s cheap as chips.
I have a set of H&R springs if you’re interested. Not worth paying for postage tbh but
If you’re down south you could grab them and just give us a drink.
As for the Badger5 tip.
Is your car mapped?
If not it’s probably not giving a real gain. Maybe the mind playing tricks.
I think my car maybe lost a few brake prior to mapping with all the mods attached.
Maybe you’re lucky.
Certainly, if it’s fitted with an open cone and a heat shield you will see gains of upto 8 poss 10 brake in the end. But usually after a map. Maybe half that or less while standard.
Heat shield is so important too with open cone. otherwise you can be looking at deduction in power once again.
If sticking with the air box, try a Green Panel filter.
These are pretty efficient and give the best air flow for the standard box.

3”Custom exhaust, FMIC, Bosh 550’s, BC Coilovers, ARB’s +loads more.
I'm not interested in the springs myself (not that you were asking me!) but I'm just curious as to where 'dahn sarf' is for you? Being in Brighton it gets a little lonely with all these northern monkeys
The rear ARB is the only thing I've done to the car that's made me even consider a track day. I'd love to push the car hard now - maybe after I finally fit the new clutch and DMF I might get a remap and see what the car can do.
Did a drive out to Gatwick and back to give the car a chance to get warmed up and stretch its legs ahead of the MoT. I'll be picking up a new air filter from Euros tomorrow as well, as it can't do any harm on the emissions front. The one I've got in there now is two and a half years old and while I've not done any big miles since then, it probably needs it. I really need to start writing the date on the air filter housing - time flies by.
Fuel consumption is getting better with all the vacuum line changes and sorting boost leaks. It's still not back up to 54mpg but 48mpg isn't too bad in this weather.
