            What mods currently? They're not bad figures for a car that came with 110kW/210Nm stock at the flywheel.
            Nothing to see here...

              • Nice offset guage

                My car's booked in for a full inspection of the suspension/wheels/etc - the thought currently is that the M5 bump has also likely damaged wheels, and the rear swaybar mounts are probably shot too given the constant and terrible creaking in the rear end - something Heasman Steering failed to pick up. So I'm unlikely to return there again.

                    Currently it has engine wise:
                    APR 95oct chip
                    APR 2.5" turbo-back exhaust
                    APR TIP
                    APR R1 DV
                    BMC CDA cold air intake

                    Found that the AFR is way to rich and the the boost peaked at 18psi from memory but wasn't really consistent so there is work to be done there. Mike who's the tuner there said there's perhaps 10-15kw in fueling alone with the mods it has. So I'm thinking of going stand alone so it can be tuned properly with the mods it has.

                          Pffft it's not that hard once you've done it a couple of dozen times.
                          Cupra lip is easy to install too. Keeping it attached and not destroying it in car parks is another thing (at least the stock lip is kind of flexible).
                          Cheers,

                          • Replaced all 5 coils and swapped the panel air filter for a K&N panel filter, the car is so smooth now! The little cough I was getting before seems to have gone.

                            It is going in tomorrow for a service and to have the ECS stage 2 suspension refresh kit installed.

                            • got my lowest fuel consumption ever this avo, 6.1L/100km from lithgow (blue mountains) to syd... downhill may be cheating though.
                              so many highway pratrol cars, was probably a good thing i was taking it easy
                              bells line of road is so nice to drive on while the sun sets, followed by driving through the turf farms above windsor (kurmond rd)
                              would have been a good little spot to get a photo of the car but no clouds around to make an impressive sunset..

                              actually noticed a concerning problem with my car on friday... under throttle only at high speeds, seems to be just when i go over 110, the steering wheel vibrates. not violently, but still worryingly... no idea what it is, could be my rep rims maybe...

                                probably needs a wheel balance
