I bet mate ! Will have to get round to watching your videos , GTi-6 standard motor goes well in a 306, so a supercharged one in a stripped out 205 must be lots of fun , bet youve suprised a few people with it

as much as i love seeing the tuning companies cars on track i wouldnt give the award to these guys. its their job to build cars and they get parts, labour cheap and its a tax write off for them so not fair really.

it should be someone whos built a cracking track car themselves on their own money and build by themselves not payed someone to do it.

watched a few of your vids spiky and car is great.

I would of been happier if you did get it mate, as a company car should not be included in my eyes, that black fiesta was going well all day too, and a few others to boot.

I dont think its in the spirit of an RS day to give the trackday car of the day award to a non RS tbh, much as I love spikey's car.

Never taken the pug to pod, and fancied a run up the strip

So yesterday it had 3 runs up the strip

It survived the day fine

But I was only launching at 3000 revs


Here is the vid from run 3 my quickest time

12.88 @112mph

Here is my timing sheet

car has been running great with the charger, except when flat out on track, the water temps rise and stabilse around 95-100

normally it used to be 80

i've put it down the fact the intercooler is twice and thick as rad and is slight bigger, and fitted right in front of it,

so to test this theroy, i bought a 2wd cosworth intercooler to see if that helps

as the intercooler is now above the rad, so nothing infront of the rad anymore

see pic's
