Yes, I'm really pleased with it. Got the bloke to spray all the plastic bits when he did the splitter. It's really hard to picture them properly, but they're all really high gloss and look really nice in the car.. There's a couple of other bits I want to do. Door handle surrounds and a couple of other pieces, although, I want to keep it discrete...

Thanks. It's not perfect yet.

I'm going to get the orange out from the front and back lights.
Front bumper has quite a bit of stone chip damage. I'm going to get that sorted soon.
Then I might up-rate the brakes. That's all I've got planned for her.... at the minute.

Clive Atthowe in Norwich, yes.

Apparently they had a WR1oc meet there soon after the release of the WR1.

Why do you ask?

See the car holds boost well :thumb:

I honestly don't know.

His dyno is new though. Cost £100k+. Really impressive set up. Have a few pics of it on my phone. Will upload them soon.

Why does the boost tail off like that towards the end?

You 'may' have seen them on your WR1, Mr. Daz!

Full credit to you, I did rip your idea off. They do look the nuts - mine are slightly different however, as I've used anthracite for the ellipse and shadow to match my wheels!

nice piccies , what times did you run ?

PostPosted: Sun Sep 06, 2009 8:34 pm

Unfortunately, my best time was 13.6 @101mph

However, I was changing gear waaaaaaay to early. I've since had the car dyno'd and found that basically, I should be changing as close to the rev-limiter as I can. I was changing quite a bit earlier when I did that run. I honestly think I can get really close to the 12.8 with just one more run on the track.

Also, it was an absolute scorcher of a day which doesn't help with a turbo.
