Did you manage to get any pics of the old girl at the ring this time?

F2 Stu,

Can I ask you what the suspension set up is on your car?... it looks a lot more poised on the track thna mine does. Also looks like you dont need a step ladder to get into it!!

Fk silverline konigsport coilovers.

Wound down just so you can see the top of the tyre in the arch.

Car handles ok but yet to experiment with damper settings, slides nicely too

Thats cool thanks. Do you have standard or uprated ARB's?
And what size wheel/tyres do you run?

I'm convinced that there is at least another easy 45secs to be found by sorting out the suspension and tyres. And then I'll start working on growing my gonads so that we can find what it takes to get an 8:30 out of it!

Its all listed in my signiture, but 7jx16 Compomotive Mo's et35 with 215/40 gsd3's (or 195/45 toyos if i'm being pikey)

Eibach ARB's but have a standard one on the front which I'm changing this weekend ahead of the 'Ring trip

I'll be happy to get there, have fun, drive back and not incure any damage

Hi folks - just put 25mm front and 28mm rear Neuspeed ARBs on mine, and having spent Saturday at Combe and Monday at Cadwell I can confirm it is well worth it - lot more poised in the corners - but was still cocking a wheel.

I was keeping up with an Impreza easily at Cadwell and with a 300bhp APS tuned Mk5 R32 at Combe. Had a couple of people comment that they couldn't believe I only had an 8v in the car.

Awesome GTi can get them or go through Badger Bill - mine were £376 inc vat.
