    JDM coombe 1st of June

    There was not enough interest for a club stand. We have quite a few alternatives for June in the calendar though: - Sunday 2nd - Goodwood breakfast club; - Sunday 9th - Tunerfest South; - Sunday 23rd - Bromley Pageant of Motoring; - Sunday 30th - Japanese Vehicle & Culture Show at MOP Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

    BBK Options

    Btw - for those interested in KSport caliper and pad sizes. KSport 8-pot caliper for 356mm disks I believe is the same size as AP 6-pot CP5555 (but pls correct me if I am wrong here). Brake pads are CP3894D54 for AP calipers (easier to find this way). ECB Yellowstuffs are under £200 (both fronts and stock rears), Bluestuff is just over £200 (incl delivery).

    BBK Options

    I had KSports for 1.5yrs now. More than 10 track days and finishing 2nd set of yellowstuff pads later still like them. If I were to choose now, I would either go with them again or go for Reyland AP kit with their own disks. Reyland's kit included Ferrodo DS 2500 pads, so like-for-like (with Reyland rather than AP disks) they are not that much more expensive Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

    Final drive change

    I have an AT, so for me changing FD was a fairly straightforward choice. I have done it at the same time as going TD Turbo route (after going for TD NA package first). Its certainly more responsive and A LOT more fun to drive, but I wouldn't be able to tell you how much change would it be just due to FD only. This said, I like my turbo set up because in normal daily driving (in the city for me, rather slow with too many speed bumps) it feels like standard car, but once you on a country road or track its certainly a very different car. TBF - if I didn't end up enjoying track days so much I would have kept my NA (although NA tune and manifold package is a no-brainer imo and definitely one of, if not the, best mods for our cars).

    TD Turbo Feedback

    Looking forward to see full spec[emoji6] Why have you decided to map to 280 only with forged engine - just TSS related? Guess with forged engine you can have a boost controller and go safely over 300? Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

  10. Track Day - Snetterton 300 Thursday, August 29th (MSVT) £161 (including group discount) Speed is the buzz word at Snetterton. You will find the half-mile Bentley Straight - one of the longest on any UK race track. Extended to 3 miles this circuit can now run three different configurations.

The circuit also has plenty of run-off areas at key corners, adding to your safety. Snetterton is located 20 miles South-West of Norwich, approximately an hour-and-a-half from London. https://www.msvtrackdays.com/car/circuits/snetterton/ We will have a "club" track day on Thursday, August 29th https://www.msvtrackdays.com/car/calendar/2019/aug/29-sn/ I have organized a group discount - 10% off and free garage when we get to 5+.

    First Track Day Snetterton

    I did my first couple track days with a stock car. As many said its perfectly capable and will give you good idea whether and what you may want to modify. Snetterton is also very good track (although I have only been once there), not too harsh on brakes (but do give them a cool down lap). Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

I will aim to be there around 8:30 ish subject to traffic. Safe trip and looking forward seeing you guys tomorrow.😎

    About Tuning Developments / Contact Details

    Recognise quite a few cars from the photos [emoji3] Mike- wasn't you also planning to do a track version? Would be interested to hear/ see how its going. And from personal experience can vouch for the quality of TD craftsmanship. I went from NA to TD turbo kit (with super resonated exhaust), and most other mods have been done by TD team as well. I only wish Warrington was closer to London/ SW... Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk
