Nice! AD09 look great, I'm interested to know how good they are in wet and if they're as good as a sport road tyre. I would message gsm about your seat, excellent service you can literally just email them your waistline, height, car and purpose and they will tell you the best suited seats for you, plus you're supporting a family business.
Your wheels I imagine may foul in combination with your new verkline wishbones but I would not worry too much, you can bend trim the wheel liners and bend the arches quite easily. If they foul a lot then you can trim the arches and attach arch extensions, Area Motorsport would have done this hundreds of times if you're nervous of doing this yourself. Its nothing to worry about though, its just a panel of thin metal that can easily be modified or replaced for very reasonable costs.

Thanks for your reply regarding the m14 thread on the bilstein... I'll order the same camber plates as you have. Decided to keep the b14 and get area motorsport to fit everything else and set it up with these coilovers.
Speaking to rob about the 255 tyres on the front he reckons it will be fine on stock front wings with the setup he will be doing to the car... Once I've got wheels, seats and all setup I can decide if the b14's are really weak and upgrade to nitron later next year... 😬
I am in a really undecided position regards the seats and will call GSM... Always nice to support a family business.
Been out today and the clubsport seat delete done my heading with noises from all corners so took it back out and will carpet and sound deadening on the back to make it look decent.
Finished fitting the boost gauge and it's all set... Tuesday new steering rack and week Monday big rtech day for the injector,head and stage 2 plus treatment. Can't wait to see what 20 plus psi does to the car... :mad:
Aleksandar:
Long day today.... Been at R tech for flap delete, walnut blasting, 4 new injectors, hpfp and stage 2 plus tune...the car came with a test map where it run stock boost but fueling was way off... Don't know what that was...after all the work has been done the car is mapped to 378 bhp and 425 ft pounds.
Smooth linear power delivery and crisp throttle response... I'm in love with how quick it is and how well the limited diff is working 😈.
Can't wait for track day 🙃
Jons1001:
Wow bet that's an absolute beast to drive. My mk5 is about 270 bhp and that's plenty fast enough for me!
Mekaniko:
What a build, envy on your Wavetrack LSD I need it... And also a lot of other stuff
Any track plans for it?
