Well just got back from a Ring trip last week
but before i went i changed my bottom arms and fitted B16s Ride control suspension (change settings via app on phone)
didnt come without its problems tho as usual, had these fitted the day before and the Superpro bottom arms have moved my wheels forward slightly, so the 235 cup 2s on the TDs were catching the front bumper
(were fine before) luckily i had 225 Super sports fitted on the Oz's but wait for it ! the Ozs wont clear the Alcons
and 10mm spacers caused the same problem as the 235's so a tyre swap was the only way out, 225 SSports onto the TDs, that sorted it
Well got to the Ring and time to test things out a little, suspension into pre set Sport setting car into race mode off i went, initial thoughts were a little un nerving, with the pace of the car and the steering far too skitish on the bumpy track, was pretty dangerous to say the least, so after a few laps to get use to things i altered it into Sport+ and steering into normal in the race mode settings,
Now your talking... steering much softer and this made a huge difference and got a lot more confident with the car, This thing flys ... much quicker than my 6 gti was, can get on the power much much earlier and been able to fully disable the Tcontrol is a great advantage aswell,
The trip and the car was great ... my mate took his van as his car was off the road still waiting for a gearbox shaft, not just an ordinary van tho
with nearly 300bhp and 565lb ft it was no slouch haha had such a laugh and he got a 10.07 .. beating the top gear record was with yellow flags and busy bank hol tourist day aswell haha
Me filming him on the Go Pro
My best time and a few pics of the trip
