xrdt - track day fun on a Budget
#1
Welcome! Bought my ph1 xrdt last year as a nice cheap economical run around - which was going great - until I stumbled upon you lot and xud tuning! Had to get cambelt done and did a service before the following....

After a nosey under the bonnet and up from underneath I was pleased to see a Bosch pump and Garret T2 - happy days - so tweaked boost and bosch for 19 psi, minimal smoke off boost for starters.

Brakes were crap and tyres nearly shot so changed stnd 14" for 15" steelies, sprayed em hammerite black and added set of Toyo Proxes for road use. Sorted front brakes with refurbing some gti 6 calipers and new disks and pads.

Air filter next as the stock canister had all but rotted out. Opened out vents in the grill, added extra inlet for dual cold air feed to a Ram Air foam filter on modified oem intake pipe. To prevent heat soak I now have a home brew heat shield too.

Also I now have myself a new daily driver in the shape of a Mazda 323 1.5 for £350 so the pug is defo ear marked for budget track days/spare daily!

Gauges in where head unit used to be..
