    Well, Sooty turned 100 000km, on Saturday the 19th of May, at 6am. We were on our way to meet a few guys & girls and then head off to Knysna for The Knysna Hillclimb 2012.






    Here's two quick photos from a mate of mine (thanks Marc - quality as always), as we were about to leave Knysna on the Sunday.

    Looking awesome! Just read through the entire thread. Did you end up upgrading the brakes on your car or do you still have the standard ones on!

    Thanks Blitz, I am really happy. I just need to give Sooty a good detail before I head off for DubRun in a months time.

    Thanks mate, I'm glad I did change from the lamin-x'd headlights to the GTi ones, freshens the front completely.

    Thanks bud. I've still got the stock brakes on. The Cupra setup will be used on one of the projects. I do still need to visit the idea of uprating the brakes though. I am still impressed with the performance on the track, but they aren't how I'd like them to be for sure.

    Personally I use the Stock 312 rotas and calipars from the Audi TT with Ferodo DS2500 pads. They are pretty matched to the power im running of 130kw and 450mn

    Ive heard with the Ibiza Cupra 4 pot calipars there are issues with finding wheels that will clear. Possibly better off going with the Seat Leon Cupra R brembos
