Well went to the ring on wednesday! Beautiful weather compared to the last time i went. 3 others went along, Megane 250, 350z & a 1.9Tdi Audi.
Started off with 10:30 laps and on my 9th lap i had shaved off near 2mins and got a 8:45!
So some pictures:
Off to RSTuning tomorrow to have a hybrid fitted and mapped.

So my turbo was on its way out. Using oil and not running the best power. 255/275 so a trip to RST was in order to have my hybrid fitted.
Broke turbo:
After 4 hours fitting the new turbo and an hour mapping. It was all done. It now runs 284/301 and holds boost until the redline unlike the old turbo that dropped after 5k

Did a very very wet cadwell park. First time ive been back since i crashed well over 2 years ago.
Fastest lap of the day was a 1:40.632
So i went to pick up a new engine afterwards. ready for forging.
Stripped the engine down:
Ordered some new bits: 83mm Supertech Pec pistons
So the block needs to be machine new oil jets & all other bits Water Pump, Oil Pump, Gaskets, Bearings etc

How you finding the hybrid? What's the power and delivery like?
A mate of mine was at Caldwell a few weeks back in a red megane with a few from Meganesport (I think) was this the same day?
Just got a set of these poly carb windows on the cheap, did you just rivet them in? Amy reason why you couldn't bond them?
