Audi TT Toy

Oh, very much approved!

You missed the main thing they changed on the safety revision after launch - they changed the wishbones to the understeery versions. Look for Defcon inserts, they alter the geo back to original and will transform the car.... Even with all your current mods.

Have you thought of adding an LSD too?

[Hurdy]

Very,very cool motor a lot of work has gone into that.

[Bikerz]

I did say they changed whole syspension gyometry and know all about the wishbones.
I have thourght about LSD's however I had a 1.9TDI in a lupo  with a Quaif Mechanical LSD and it was far too tight and didnt help much which has put me off them.

Nothing more satisifying then blowing kisses to chavs in scoobies and then destroying them (No Im not gay) but love playing that card

[tony_danza]

It wasn't meant to sound sniffy, but if you havent done the Defcons, have a look into them 

Diff is well worth it, even with an uprated Haldex, certainly with that kind of power and it's inherent delivery characteristics. Couple of mates run a modded TTQS and a MKIV Golf 4mo with an S3 T-FSI conversion as track cars.

[Bikerz]

I havent done the Defcons. I have stock ARB and KW V2 coilovers. I was hoping to get engine finished and do a few track days and see what I want to do about suspension. I dont buy this HUGE ARB bollox that people jump on (Im back at uni doing Motorsport engineering) and have always noticed how serious track cars often run without a front ARB and now Im learning why etc... and would like to experiment and see what I like before just buying thick for the sake of it. 1st test will be with no front ARB. I will certainly do the defcon's when I change the suspension, however I might custom make some ali wishbones as a uni project instead.

[tony_danza]

Big ARBs make snappy cars, which invariably need removing from tyres or kitty litter sooner or later.

I snapped my front on the kerb exiting Foxhole, after I'd disconnected it - I will say the car felt very strange indeed!! Maybe with stiff enough springs it'd be ok?

[Bikerz]

Thats the idea. Hopefully it will be ok if I stick some KW clubsports on it.

[Poverty]

track cars with no front arbs have much stiffer shells though plus a full rollcage which increases stifness even more?

[Bikerz]

Yes some do..... not all though. TVRs (yes Im sure they have a stiffer chassis then a TT, not that I can be sure) tend to remove their front ARB as their 1st mod for a trackday. Which really is saying something as they are pretty point and squirt as they are. (I know this is a selected example, however I know someone that races one). It is common amongst pure track cars looking for that point and squirt feel. Im happy to give it a test.

Great project mate

Ve to see this agaisnt TEFF! That's the kid in me!!l

[Bikerz]

No idea what that means but hope its good 

[Little_Dave]

TEFF has a heavily modded mk6 Golf R with an epic build thread that is well worth a read thru

Does this TTRS Milltek exhaust make much of a difference?
I mean according to the Milltek site a stage 1 with this turbo back exhaust
gives 260 BHP with over 400lbs torque.

My car is already remapped to 260BHP and that's with
the standard exhaust.

[Bikerz]

I didnt notice a difference with exhaust. I did notice a difference with standard system and removing cat. If you look at your cat back system you will see round the transfer box where it goes intoa tiny triangle shape. That must be  a HUGE restriction. I couldnt feel it tho
