Just posting RR graph

The torque is noticably better throughout the rev range, and its great fun scaring people on the street by changing gear early Tssshhhhh

Not much of an update really, a little bit short of spare money at the moment due to the Spa trip and various other commitments. I've spent most of today washing, claying, polishing and waxing it to remove all the marks left by winter. It seems to have picked up too many scratches over winter for my liking

It was full of swirl marks after washing over the winter

I'm buying a machine polisher in the next few weeks, so hopefully it will be perfect come show season.

A couple of pics to show how it came out

Reflections :slayer:

Im quite pleased with the results of it, AG Super Resin Polish :slayer:

We also changed the air filter a few weeks ago

The old filter was wrecked, the winter weather didn't do it much good.

New number plates as well with "GB" on the sides for Europe

Doing a little bit of "tidying" over the next few weeks, I need to repaint the grille and wing mirrors as they are chipped and marked.

Cheers Yeah, we will be there. Looking forward to it now

Looks good, SRP tricks you as it has loads of fillers in it to mask swirls. I bought my DA in january with the intention of machining mine, still havent done it lol.


My filter wins though

 

[B3NNETT]

does yours have a massive gash down the side of it though matt?

 

[punto_matt]

Has 2 holes in it round the back.

 

[B3NNETT]

i believe you'd be about even then

 

[adamcot]

Yeah, the filter seems to knock against some of the air con pipes behind the wheel arch, causing those holes.

SRP hides the swirls for now anyway, I'm quite pleased with how it looks actually. Looking forward to sorting all the paint work out properly though.
