A little update, the car has had a lot of work done over the last few days
KW coilovers
Eibach ARBs
WALK
AP Racing brakes
VWR Lower Mount
Blue Flame Exhaust
The car has only been dropped 20-25mm on the coilovers and the arbs are set to hard on the rears, its hard for me to tell exactly what differance which item has made, but this cars handeling is absolutly amazing now, it just corners and grips ! understeer has been improved no end, the damping is superb and and im surprised that the ride quality hasnt suffered to badly either. The car still handles very neutal with the ARB settings and if you lift of mid corner in the dry you can feel the cars rear end starting to tug like it wants to break free but it still just stays nicly in line ! The steering has also been improved all you need to do is just turn the wheel a fraction and the car istantly reacts !, moves over and turns in without drama or body roll !
it really has been a stunning transformation !
The APs Pro 5000 are amazing, my best mod yet with out a doubt ! they are so powerfull and just stop the car with out you even realising that they are working. These are so controlable and managable, i really cant think how it would be possible to improve these on the mk5 chassis they are just perfect and so well ballanced.
The engine mount also has seemed to tighten things up, its hard to explain, but the the acceleration feels .............more solid ? with a better uptake, there is more vibration and feel through the pedals but no more virbration noises ? its hard to put in to words but the car feels differant and crisper if you know what i mean
The car has changed for the good, its harder more focused and in all honestly i cant think of anything id rather be driving its coming on a treat and hopefully will be finshed pretty soon !
Ill put up some pics of the blue flame tomorrow i forgot all bout it in the driving exitment ( Even though its prtty hard to forget about
)
