Without wishing to start a billion page thread...is the noise that much different? Obviously if it was fitted to restrict noise...why have i answered my own question?? lol

Nice position to be in Ali... Keep the 172 until 8 weeks or so before the Vee,as you said you might loose a little but nothing major to worry about.

Mark....Do you find those figures accurate? (letstorquebhp.com) If so that is a pretty nice setup and still very much a day to day car as iirc you still have the back seats in etc. Changing to lightweight wheels could probably save you 15-20kg too.

Just paid £77 each fitted and balanced...205/45/16 83 V....was pretty pleased. To the original poster...check mytyres.co.uk and costco...they should come in at under £100 each quite easily.

The 182 cat is pretty good?? Lol who told you that?

Well remember to bring some brakes!!!!!!

Aggro? It's 4 bolts and bob's your uncle sorted!

Ty for enlightening me kind sir ;) You ever coming to the great shores of Dubai?

Erm 6,500 iirc

Agreed with Thomas,i haven't hit the limiter yet now its raised to 7,800 simply because peak power has been and gone and it screams like nothing else i've heard and i'm scared of it going BANG!!! lol

I took mine off to shave that extra few tenths off on the way to work ;) In all seriousness...On/off...personal opinion really

Good effort.

Bend Fred? Mine is as straight as an arrow....

£80 from GDI...perfect. Sounds more raspy and is a lot of fun too,well worth it IMHO

It's certainly different, nice to see something different other than Turini's etc etc

Team Dynamics Monza's or Pro Race 1.2's. Oz Racing Superturismo's WRC Quality multispoke rims

You got buckets now mate? I like the yellow on blue....nice and subtle.

There are a few guys on here who have 172's and under 20. Ben_P was one of them iirc. Try making a post in the insurance section and asking about prices etc

Definately add recaros. I do love my colour (black/gold) but its a nightmare in a country full of sand...so probably switch to silver.

Must handle like a pig too with 18's. Must shift in a straight line though. How'd they get 250bhp from modified cylinder head,cams and TB's?

Yeah bike engined...my first car was a smart car back in 2001....i knew the guy developing the engine and the bracket to hold the beast in...absolutely mental fun

Apex have a good reputation on here...also look at Eibach

As youtube is blocked here i'm guessing we're talking about the Golf R32? 2 friends have got one here and in everyday road situations there is no difference until after 100. For example...we both exit a roundabout and gun it...neither pulls away

They weigh 5kg each which is stupidly light...i don't know what the standard wheel weighs but i reckon it isn't less than 12/13kg

maybe change the brake pads to something that doesn't give off so much brake dust?

That looks mint...i like the bonnet...adds to the aggressiveness

Looking good Tim....really want some better seats just not sure which to get as i do 150 mile round trip 6 days a week.

Group N ECU,Decat,ITG panel filter...on the way are uprated brakes then hopefully wheels,suspension etc etc

I too live in the gulf and so far have covered 44k. Not had a single problem,it kinda grates me people bang on about paper quality. It seems to vary from car to car IMHO...not had a squeak out of mine. Loving every minute too.

5kg? Thats imense...must of saved yourself at least 20-30kg over standard! Suits the colour perfect too
