Recirc has less lag. The car doesn't waste it all sending it to the atmosphere. You built up that boost. Keep hold of it. GFB are a good compromise.

Gearbox and internals will need changing at that sort of figure too. Wrx 5 speed box are prone to going pop over 350ftlb. Internals 350hp. Not that it's a straight line rule but the higher you push it the less reliability you have.

Nice and toasty down here. Beautiful blue skies.

Ha I had an evo spin behind me. Nice to look at in the rear view.

I see you say it hasn't been mapped yet? Or it has been mapped and then you added more parts? Want to make sure I've got all the details right before throwing random advice around.

We see the 370z get brought in and in our briefing we got told you were all warned about the damp conditions but he gunned it and went into the out wall. It is £30 for 20 minutes at rockingham.

How much is it for how long? We got lucky at silverstone. We got red flagged on the first lap but they sent us round again. Then got red flagged about 5 laps in and they still sent everyone out for a third time.

Is there track time available here? [emoji41]

Sounds like an air leak. Check all boost pipes are connected and not split. Check any jubilee clips on intake pipes. Have a good look around and stick your ear under the bonnet, give her a rev then try to pinpoint the hiss.

I don't pay for my oil so it just gets topped up every so often.

Once Matt sends me some of his snaps I'll upload them for viewing. I don't think the old girl is best pleased with me though... Box oil. She's in soon now.

It was a good day. Had a nice walk about and managed to spend no money at the traders. Managed to get on track for a bit. Got red flagged straight away as soon as the pace car pulled in first time but they kindly sent us round again. I got 4-5 laps in before another red flag. Again, they allowed us to go back out but I'd had my fun. The car didn't like long right handers. I'll make a separate topic about that to try and work out why.

If hg has gone between exhaust and coolant the tell tale sign would be bubbles in over flow or using a sniff test to check if the coolant contains gases.

Be careful with kseal and other branded sealants. They may fill the leak but the can also clog up the smaller pipes.

Car seat and all sorts on the deck! Every little helps.

If it's a trader and no warranty you can still claim under sales of goods and services act providing it wasn't sold as spares/repairs. Shouldn't need to throw that about unless it gets messy.

I'd be a bit concerned if they're suggesting it doesn't need a map for a bigger turbo. With a turbo and intercooler swap it will have to be mapped. Also with the engine swap are you fitting the same injectors?

Need to be on the stand for 8:30.

Leave it at the stand. I dumped loads of gear out at Santa pod. Does sound a bit of effort after enjoying a night having to beat the queue to the track. Also means more traffic for those that didn't camp heading up Sunday morning.

I did hear about horror stories with people finding some kind of sediment from supermarket fuels. May be an additive. Never had issues with running on momentum but know where you're coming from.

What makes you avoid Tesco fuel? I always use their momentum. It's my closest petrol garage that supplies 99Ron fuel.

Bright and early, beat the rush!

I'm going to be leaving Greenhithe at 5:45am and head up to roadchef Northampton, hoping to arrive there for 7:30am. Wasn't as much interest for a convoy as I thought there would be. Geoff, we will still be passing toddington services at roughly 7am so could still meet there. I'm meeting Stants at roadchef.
