fast road, track set up

[Tfsi_Mike]

There is a thread with some good info on this TT arm setup over on Audisport .net. I just bumped it up to the top so it will be easy to spot.
I hope you dont have a reduced offset or megga-low suspension as arch rubbing could be an issue. With standard wheels this should not be a problem though

I have both Might have to raise the car a bit

well i bought the TT lowerr arms etc, but i no longer have them, what i do have now is a set of H2sport adjustable top mounts.

went to the ring earlier this week, getting the WALK fitted by skoda germany tomorrow(trying to persuade them to fit the top mounts as well, but they are not keen on doing it) then im off to the ring again saturday for the whole day.

info on the H2sport top mount

four preset settings available to adjust to. 0(great for 1/4 mile traction), -1(standard), -1.5(best compromise), -2(max available camber, double Oem spec)
http://www.h2sport.com/products.php?productid=1204
Im going to get them set at -1.5. purely as my car is already at 1.24 degrees camber since lowering so realsitically i should be around -1.75 camber when it all fitted.

Im also about to purchase the whiteline bumpsteer kit from balancemotorsport, i thought since im spending shed loads on everything, why not do it all.

A tip for anyone on front and rear adjustable ARBs. if yuou want an even tighter turn in, set the front bar on soft, and rear bar to stiff. I originally had mine both on stiff, since doing changing the front to soft the trn in is much improved.

id raise it, slamming a car can be detrimental to handling anyway, . Have you had it cornerweighted at all or properly set up.

speak to the people at http://www.centergravity.co.uk/index.cfm

im going to go into them when i get back. ive heard nothing but excellent reviews from these. this car is renowned for setting up porsches etc and has done quite a few VAG. had a convo with the guy the other day and seemed a top bloke mega enthusiastic about doing the wok and what he could get out f the car.

id say well worth the money

Not yet but ill definately look into it

had the walk fitted today and i reckon its the mutts nuts without doubt. turn in seems to be quicker and sharper there is more tyre grip as well as more feel, and i also reckon the steering feels a little heavier which is good.

The technician who fitted it said after test driving it, that the car felt awesome and extremely well balanced and precise. which i was pretty chuffed with as he has an R32.

im going to trial it at the ring tomorrow, im there for the whole day, hoping to get between 8-10 laps in, but it lall depends on the brakes holding out. they are most definately the weak point on this car now.

there is a new option now for brakes as well guys, even more so if you have a cupra as it wil be even cheaper. under £1000 for full setup incl discs and pads

[vRSy]

Doing clutch and engine/gearbox mounts first but I'll let you know if I upgrade

 

[vRSy]

engine and gear box mounts???? may i ask what your expecting the result to be and what brand you've chosen. Im tempted to go with VWR dog bone one but prob no further than that. Seemed a little expensive for what id gain to do any more

 

[vRSy]

my mod list is going in this order.

fit top mounts.
buy the following

LSD, water meth injection, clutch, VWR dog bone mount

 

[Tfsi_Mike]

VWR ones mate. Hoping for more direct crisp take up of the throttle as there's a lot of engine rock with my std mounts

 

[vRSy]

id have thought it would be pretty minimal saving though. id love to try one though just to see the difference

 

[Tfsi_Mike]

theres quite a lot of movement in mine, the mounts i was looking at are solid with no give Noisy but im im not bothered

 

[vRSy]

Sounds good.. Was tempted to have it fitted when I had my ARBs done but didn't have the cash at the time! Might get one done in the future!
