Hahaha, that would be a handful.
The extra parts required (heavy duty clutch etc) would make it about an 8k job.

Home loan comes first.

Technically it's not racing, just some fun laps and a chance to test out the car and see what it can do safely and having a chat with others after the session.

Just over 2 weeks until we get to see the red rocket in action again (with Seat intercooler, the first true test)

Well with the Seat intercooler you will. Just thought i would add to the thread for Anthony as i had the opportunity to take some pics during the Intercooler install. Its not a straight fit for anyone looking at going this way but , very doable, there was of course a few tricks along the way but you get that with mods. Firstlly removed the Forge unit to make way for the new Stealthy Seat Sport cooler. With the Seat cooler you need the Seat brackets and bolts and of course the cooler. Coupled with the a Forge Seat hose kit. Fitting the brackets would normally need the rad and condensor be removed but i put some access holes in the rad support like below

When the cooler is installed and the pipes go on then you have to re route the map and map wiring loom. There is a useless bracket in there which goes in file 13 ( bin)
Here is the cooler before pipework

Then here is the map fitted with the wiring loom routed differently

This is the map connector on and in place with plenty of slack and no fouling of the map

Here is the loom being moved and reclipped

and here it is all clipped in place

Here is the finished article before the bar cover goes on

with the bar cover and grille then thats a different matter, there is a lot of plastic also goes in file 13. Would take a good few pics to show but if you embark on it you will for sure know what i mean.
With the kit you still use the existing plastic pipe one the hot side that runs under the crank pulley. We will monitor this as its plastic and ive seen even stock ones broken there at the mounting point.
Fitted the new awesome strut brace but unfortunately never took pics of this so will leave it to Ant for that. I can say that was tasky too having to remoave the ECU and scallop the casing to allow fitment but the results were worth it.
Anyway tested the car this morning after it was all back together and man what a hoot!!! this thing is like an ox and im sure the dyno results will prove it. Certainly Butt dyno says yes and i couldnt stop smiling , mind you this happens every time i drive this thing but happened way quicker today.
Looking forward to seeing the figures, but man it goes good.

Cheers
