Awesome build
Did the calipers and discs go straight on or have the wheels got spacers. What offset are the wheels?

@RICKITSPERFORMANCE - reduce weight and help turn in apparently, were cheap enough so i thought why not  :grin:

@Dwarfus - thanks bud, yea straight but you have to make sure you get the TTRS discs not the RS3 discs that look the same but are not. the wheels are 19x8.5 et 45, i already had a 12mm spacer to fill the arches but there's loads of room - the added camber from the superpro balljoints have pushed the wheels out a little further so i've ordered some 10mm spacers. i think you'd get away with a 3-5mm spacer on this set up tbh

@Kam88 - yes, he did have a mk4 golf that i bought off him @280bhp, he then got a BMW (told him not to) he hated it and got the R32 but it wasn't for him he is like me and likes turbo power and kept bugging me to sell the DTM so i let him have it, i went through a lot with that car but i know it's in safe hands  :happy2:

Cheers olethalb  :happy2:

Is this a build for a family wagon or are you doing it as there isn't another one around?

Dwarfus - i'm forever buying car parts, wheels you name it, it was killing me stacking wheels in my limited edition DTM and as nice as it looks i was constantly worried about leaving it places etc etc, the touran is like a swiss army knife, it does everything i need, it's a car, a van, it's fast, it looks ok and drives perfectly. plus i'm an idiot and i like doing silly things  :signLOL:
