Have you done much engine mod wise? Might be getting one of these as a toy and keeping my jetta as a daily! Love the charger noise!

The OZ wheels are very nice too. 

Those tyres are developed with Lotus they are A408 LTS slightly stiffer side wall than the normal A408. From what i have read from the Lotus boys they are not quite as good as R888, but this is due to balance problems rather than grip. I am still on the factory originals and they have worked well on track.

Havent done any work to the engine yet. They are pretty nippy as standard (came from a 1.6 golf  ). I will be getting a Dave.f, reduced pulley, plugs and maybe an exhaust which should give it a little boost. The noise is great haha!

oh right! From what I have read the AD08 is a good tyre. £500 for a set fitted. The only thing I am worried about is the wear rate. (180). I dont know how long a set is going to last? I don't do major mileage in it but I dont want to get them and they only last 3000k or something! What is the wear rate on yours?

The rears will be 3000, maybe 5000 for the fronts.
