You thinking of filling that extra space with wider tyres Mike or are you just gonna drop it lower?

Huge thanks to Alex @ AKS, Keith @ Apr & also Matt @ Racing line

Alex has put alot of extra time into the car than originally anticipated and everything feels solid & tight.
Sy commented straight away how the cabin noise sounded more refined and everything felt smoother.  Car seams to be set up very well although I think I need to get used to the diff as I lifted of after the diff spat me out of a roundabout at suprising speed in 2nd, giving a bit of  :driver: :scared: :jumping: :innocent:
Going back to Alex for some more bits when funds allow  :innocent:  Watch this space.  Forgot my AKS stickers, doh!  :sad1:

Keith has spent the last couple of his 15 hour days investigating a dip in the power graph I had done at RS tuning.  After swapping the RS4 Valve for a new one everything seems to be spot on now  with slightly more power & slightly less torque than before, bizzarely.  With 346hp consistently on Marlins MAHA dyno and 430NM

Matt at Racingline listened to my complaint about a dodgy vibratechnics mount and apologised & also reimbursed me with a lower mount insert that was binned when I had the VWR fitted.  Fair play for looking after me after my significant time away in Germany  :happy2:

Just need to find some time (& petrol  :fighting:) to get out and find my feet with the car & enjoy it as it feels different in a couple of ways I can quite put my finger on  :driver: :driver:
