Done 
Unfortunately, I won't be in my car, I'll be a passenger in Neil's M5, but I'd only be in a lowly Cupra R if i were in mine!
I'll gladly video though in return for a quick spin, I'll get some exterior video of you running too...
hi chris, no probs, lets just hope its back on time...... fingers and toes firmly crossed!!Unfortunately, I won't be in my car, I'll be a passenger in Neil's M5, but I'd only be in a lowly Cupra R if i were in mine!

ok s i finally finished.... ive literally just come in from HOPEFULLY sorting my little oil leak, turns out one of the o rings have got damaged...... if this hasnt sorted it!!! ill have another go!! lol anyhow i took loads of pics and did a mamoth clean up......
after three . somthing years of ownership and no salt usage or winter usage for that matter i was pleased to see it looks brand spankers underneath....... i wont be able to tell if ive sorted the leak until my next proper drive sunday :-) anyway enjoy the pics.
i must stress every single mod has been done with no and i mean no expense spared to keep the o.e look and feel, every single piece has been moved and moved again to get the oil look, im happy to say it made 500hp on normal pump fuel, with the high octane race gas i use this car make 515bhp all day long........ this car is insane..... lol........
the front oil cooler and intercooler, oil cooler is about double the size of the stock unit
the offending leaky part, i torqued this as tight as i dared, new orings installed, note ALL this i relocated from stock, looks perfect
im a stickler for detail, i cut down some rubbed to make a buffer for the oilcooler in the extremes of braking acceration.
setrab oil cooler
underside is CLEAN!!!!
conversion piece where the leak was/ hoping isnt anymore
mean
getting their now :-)
cleaned and blacked the undertray
looking good underneath
ess billet crank pulleys
up top
cleaning wheel well with oil splatter
intercooler can flow 700hp
insanely expensive gauges and pod, 3d design pod with stack pro stepper gauges and stack wideband, i spnt big here and it paid off, o.e look, fit and i can monitor whats happening with my motor, note where ive located power socket :-)

It looks awesome it really does. Maybe tone down the 'look how minted I am and how much money I'm spending' though....
like I said great car though!
mmmmm.. never gave any indication im minted, the only indication ive even meant money has been when im asked, and if you look abck every time i spoken about used parts and sourcing as cheaply as possible, the only time ive mentioned cost was where ive spent more to keep an o.e look and feel, im normal guy living in a 3 bed semi :-)like I said great car though!
bit of hard work is all :-) first person to put a downer in here so far :-)
anyhow...... glad you got that off your chest :-) but looking back your really off the mark actually so i dont agree but thankyou for your comments :-)good day.

Your car, however, would be pretty interesting to compare the times.

lol It was just an observation from the last post about the boosty stuff and how much it all cost and no expense spared. I wasn't meant to be inflammatory so apologies if it came off like that.Like I said, brilliant bit of germanic muscle!
