Super Lando's fantastic lap in Sochi, POLE !!!, especially the great ability to make the last slippery turns.

I'm very sad that the ability for Lando to put in a great lap has also been his dimise at Sochi, he should have lapped one lap earlier and we would have seen a back-to-back McLaren victory.
I'm a Hamilton fan, but a Norris victory... awesome.

The rain at the end of the race in Sochi brought some unexpected gifts ... fantastic race! ... for both F1 fans and drivers.
I wish Super Lando had won in Sochi because of his great driving at Monza to make it easier for Super Daniel to win. ... I'm sure Norris's F1 victory will come soon.

My total admiration for the 100 Super Lewis victories (already in the Olympus).
It was great to see Super Max climbing positions early in the race, ... on my side, I loved watching Super ALO and Sainz performances in Sochi.
A super fun F1 championship (all teams and drivers), ... very tight in terms of points.

For the race in Turkey I heard that Toprak Razgatlioglu will be invited to drive an F1 car to teach others how to brake.

Edit

We should get the dataset out of Toprak's mind to build the pACC.

The engine compartment looks great!
You have done an EXCELLENT job ... something else to do in the engine area?

[iichel]

Thank you, it's not looking to bad

The most necessary thing is to change the ECU and dsg software for some more power. And a pipercross air filter.

Perhaps later, depending on the outcome, a larger radiator from the gti and I'll change the exhaust in due time since it is well past it's prime.

For now I'm pretty happy will the hardware in the engine bay. Our friend from Tiel has something for me. For the next couple of weeks he's working on something. But I will not tell you what it is. You'll have to discover it yourself

[ciclo]

Hahaha ..., it seems obvious but maybe I'm wrong...

DM with a very special SW.
I think I remember that our good friend told me that there were great advances in terms of the information that could be displayed on the screen.

[iichel]

Are you hinting at removing the original bonnet stick?

[ciclo]

No, mine is even still installed.
I left it installed in case of strong gusts of wind, although the gas strut that I installed could hold up perfectly.

Hope you make a good report of that secret mod, maybe I decide to do the same.

[iichel]

But you do think there is something I could or should do in the engine area haha. Tell me.
Audi R8 oil cap and coolant expansion reservoir lid?
Skoda Octavia 1.6 TDI black engine cover?
LED lights in the bonnet that come on when the engine lid is opened?

[iichel]

Just listing some more mods...
5M0035570B + 5Q0035570 AM/FM filter for rear heater / Diversity antenna





I wasn't always too happy with the FM and DAB+ reception. Perhaps this will make it a bit better.

I think it looks good the way it is now.
I would forget about any decorative intention and focus my intentions and effort on improving performance ... ECU and DSG SW.

[iichel]

Yes, October 9th I'll visit a small company that will do some modifications

[iichel]

I added some more blackness to my car. Black roofliner, black seats, black paint, black tires. And now a black engine cover 03L103925BA
It was orignally a Skoda Octavia engine cover plate, but after you peel away the Skoda logo, there is a VW logo.

Is ACC possible on a Polo 6r? And if so have you considered it?

[iichel]

Sure it is
