Do all black mk5 gti have a pearl/flake in the paint as sometimes mines looks grey/silver  lol

I think there's a black variant called 'black diamond pearl' so might explain why the colour looks different sometimes.

You got any plans with it? Looks good

Cheers bud not sure yet just enjoying driving it just now. It has powerflex engine mounts and lower arm bushes. Need to see if it has upgraded dog mount when I accelerate in damp in 2nd when it starts to spin there's a lot of judder banging from front not sure if it's just wheel hop but quite annoying lol does it with traction on and off

Sounds pretty normal to me, is it stock?

Stage 1

[SANDEGTI]

Yeah, I'm stage 1 and have the same thing in the wet, it really struggles for traction especially if it's just rained. Never normally in the dry though.

Decent tyres help. And feed the throttle in gently until the car has enough momentum to mash the pedal down, which helps with wheel hop and one tyre fires.

Eagle F1 SuperSport has been the best tyre for me so far in terms of traction, but when they're worn down to 3mm remaining, the tramlining is unbearable.
