2 things on that spec list doesn't belong IMO

KW Coilovers, replace them with some Bilstein for much better control
Michelin PS3, they have no way near the grip needed for this setup, at least get the PSS, if not Yoko AD08 or similar

Why do you not like the KW's mate? i have been thinking of changing for bilstein actually but not to convinced i will see a worthwile gain really?

yeah tyres will be changed and will run 888' or a048, i came from SS to ad08 on my mk2 rs and didnt like them atall, tyre seemed very hard aswell, although i did drop to an 18" at the same time i changed but cant see that making a huge difference? strange one as they seem to get brilliant reviews

KW V3 height adjustment of fiberinforced plastic is a huge mistake, you can only adjust in damp and rebound with the coilovers off the car and the ride is quite harsh compared to the Bilsteins. If the focus is very much track and not that much road i would also consider AST as suggested, but not if the road fills more than 60% then i say the Bilsteins fill the requirements better than AST. All is IMO of course.
Bilstein over the KW will see the car transformed, believe me  :happy2:
SS i rate over the AD08 so i have the same impression as you  :smiley:

Over the top mod list ;o)

not much has been happening lately.. ive been let down by the chap who was going to fit my roll cage as he has been busy with his mk1 escort rally car.. cant find anyone else to do it localy so just going to wait untill the 18th of march when he will do it  :confused:


havent been able to do much but found a few small jobs

Radio blank




A revo decal i fitted today.. im all for big decals on cars, but im not really to sure on it.. i went out just aminute ago with the hairdryer to rip it off, but looked at it again and thought i would leave it for a moment.. might look better if i get rid of the white sticker clashing with it on the rear window! what you think? keep or get it off?

That VWR badge must have cost at least 2 mill?  :signLOL:

You need some nicer number plates.  Get some pressed plates from TSR.

I think the tailgate transfer will give the bloke behind something to focus on. Ha ha.

My money's on whoever is training out on the gym gear and polishing those motors  - both look the business  :happy2:

My Rtech stage 2 DSG ed30 matches one of those amg63's on the road, so I'm sure your eddy would leave it for dust underway, maybe not of the line though  :grin:

Decals give more bhp...  :happy2:
