What a stunning car, I've got a MK5, tornado red, looking to refurb my wheels. What color are yours? Anthracite?

Thanks, no strain as the motor is quite strong. A Revo K04 Scirocco on P3 made about 35whp less than me on the day.

Thanks. No rubbing, I am running 3mm spacers in the rear and my fenders have been rolled and pulled out all round.

Post by: mjp on 08 March 2013, 10:44: Thanks for all the kind words guys :cool: The car has run 235km(true trapped speed) from standstill to 1km on a local track when it had less power. I am aiming to run 240+ now on the 1km.

Thanks, how I wish I could fit a BBK but I can't due to the fact that my track wheels are 17inch. I have upgraded the pads, lines and fluid though.

brave man, having had a car with some Alcon 370mm 4 pots on last week the stock ones are shocking

worth considering the porsche boxster upgrade as they work with the stock 312mm discs and i think fit under 17s
