How rude.  :wink:

Went the ring yesterday and for the first few laps the car was much improved from monday when i went, especially on the limit when being pushed. It then went to rat sh*t after that cos my tyures completely started to let go(toyo T1R possibly the worst tyre ive ever ran), and my brakes were useless towards the end of the day.

Try Goodyear F1 Assymetrics...came top in Evo tyre test. I went from GY F1 GSD'3's to these and they are excellent in wet and dry.

Got Dunlop Sport Max on the ED30....seem pretty good although I run Inters on track days which are brill.

If it's any help to those wanting the WALK after reading this review, I know that there's currently a 20% discount offer from Balance Motorsport.

This looks like an interesting mod - Does it help reduce the torque steer, that comes with a modded ED30, mine does have a hefty pull to the right in the lower gears???

....According to john_o in his original post: Yes.

However I would say that it reduces rather than eliminates understeer - Which is what I think he's reporting as well. If you really want to grasp the bull by its horns, then a Quaife ATB diff would be the most effective solution but it costs many times more money.

The new Golf R you have on order will, as you know, have VW's electronic diff. It feels much more remote and less satisfying to drive when pressing on but it is a great improvement.

The Whiteline kit is another piece in the jigsaw which results in greatly improved handling and feedback but you don't need me to remind you that modding is a very slippery slope.

Cheers Robin

Whilst I won my ED30, I just want to try and eliminate it as much as possible

the WALK should fit all Mk5 platforms excluding the 4wd ones as far as im aware.

so that includes mk5 golf, mk2 leon, mk2 octavia, mk 2 TT and the new A3. dont know if it will fit the R32 or the S3 though

the big red one is correct as ever  :happy2:
this is just one part of the puzzle though . (its also includes tyres/bushes/suspension and engine mounts!)

my first port of call would be to check to damage / misalignment within the front suspension.
or just jump that and have the WALK fitted (as you'll need an alignment after that anyway)

the fairly supreme torque delivery on the ED30 when mapped, kinda makes it really difficult when not in the fully straight ahead to deploy those horses successfully  :grin:

Only with WALK/PS2's and VWR lower mount combined have I ever been able to apply WOT in 2nd and 3rd without wheelspin on a good even good quality tarmac surface. even then its marginal. Upgraded side mounts and better suspension would really nail it  :happy2:
in the wet well....  :chicken:

I'm sure Jonny mentioned putting them on his S3, I did wonder if they do fit though, I know you can put the S3 items on the mk5 platform as they have a less compliant bush :smiley:

If an S3 wishbone fits a GTI, then I don't see why an anti-lift kit wouldn't fit an S3.... however, the benefit to an S3's geometry of having added caster is pie in the sky.

Cupra though, full yer boots.
