i personally look at wheels as cosmetic and i think td s  look horrible  :sick: oem , bbs or oz are the only way to go for vw s  :happy2:

No, no, no!

You have it all wrong. Wheels are far from cosmetic.

Imagine putting Ronaldo in a set of Jimmy Choo designer shoes and putting him onto the field. Or worse, a pair of waders.

He would be slower and turning a corner would become a major hassle. Put him in some lightweight footy boots with the latest insoles, studs and cushoining and it makes him play how he should. :happy2:

Admittedly TD Pro race 1.2's aren't the newest or best, but for what they are designed to do, they do it very well. :smiley:
i dont doubt what you are saying , but do they really make so much difference ????? if you put 2 ed 30s head to head one with td s one with pescara s on a track with identical skilled drivers would the one on td s be a head ?????

Yes, they really do make quite a difference. Not just in outright accelleration, but in turn in, handling, suspension reaction time, braking and even fuel consumption :happy2:

cheers Ben, although since posting i have purchased in agreement with a forum user on her. Bluefin stage 1 with handset, for £185  :notworthy:

Cheap deal and has been cleared with Bluefin themselves.Which does free-up some funds for Possible Downpipe and Cat should she need to go a tad faster

 :drinking:

Good to see you around Ben  :happy2:

I think you will enjoy stage 1 Phil but......

Agreed - Phil you will love it !

Ive not gone mad but does anybody else sometimes think that their car is way faster than it needs to be? Compared to some on here my car prob sounds a bit slow, i have a remapped edition 30 with panel filter and nothing else :ashamed:

I have just been out for a drive and it just seems really fast, ive been going mad recently for a sports cat and dp but when i think about it i really dont need it, i dont know why i want it to be any faster :confused:

Is it just me? Dont flog me too hard  :scared:

I thought that when I first bought the k1. Then I got used to it and got revo. Now im used to that and I need more still.

Ultimately the k1 will be going stage 2 plus, and then once im 21 or 22 and I can get insured on a evo will be aiming for 500hp plus. I suppose it depends on your local area and whether you get a chance to drive it fast or not often to how you view things.

I know what your saying mate, i have just bought a tbe and am going stage 2 lol, not even got it yet and have been thinking about geting the kmd internals for the fuel pump then i can get the stage 3 bf map  :jumpmove:

As ive said i think some people mistook what i was saying when i put this post up, i love my car and will always make it faster but in reality it is more than fast enough with the stage 1 map and yet im still spending money to make it faster... expensive hobby  :scared:
