Thanks Mate But £130 a corner and no stock  :shocked:

£130 a corner, FFS!  I'll stick with 17" and the copious amount of skidding, then.   :evil:

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

I dunno about performance in the snow, but another name chucked about in the MKV section are Falken FK452? I think alot of Scooby and E46 M3 owners are running these - can't be bad?!

I'm running Avon ZZ3 (at about 3.5mm) on my front axle and they've been excellent in the snow, actually.

See what yer man says and to be fair, you pays yer money... :afro:

Continental winter contact are also good - I've used these in the past in the UK and driving in Europe. They'll still be expensive though in 18"s.

Mate I really like how you've made such a brand new car into your own with the mods you've done. It was a pleasure to drive it (even though the car didn't actually move anywhere at 100+ mph :grin:)

A little info about the graph for you:

It's colour-coded so you can easily recognise which order the runs are in. Blue = first run, orange = second run and red = third run. Think of it like a temperature scale. (the lines on the graph aren't too clear on the scan)

The numbers at the top as you can see are max power and torque against the rpm they were reached at. The numbers in the brackets are the calculated flywheel bhp (the ones manufacturers quote) and the others are the measured wheel horsepower.

By the 3rd run it seemed heatsoak had set in as the power tailed off quite rapidly. Ambient air temps were quite low and there are 3 fans pointed at the car - one large prop fan and 2 smaller but very powerful fans that are normally used for inflating huge bouncy castles :laugh: So maybe heatsoak..maybe the car/map has an issue.. maybe i messed up trying to avoid the kickdown on the DSG (you'd think i would have the technique down by the 3rd run though :grin: )

Great to meet you on the RR day Neil :cool:

The MKVI is steadily growing on me, but I'll be keeping the ED30 when I move to a MKVI and stripping it for track.

The rollers seemed to be very accurate and Topher said that they regularly check the accuracy against the likes of JKM's and Awesome's rollers and read on the "accurate" side, rather than the "ego boosting" side :grin:

260 to 270bhp seems to be what the MKVI GTI's kick out with a simple remap and Oettinger are already pushing 300bhp in a higher tune state, so it appears that the TSI is quite a tuneable motor :smiley:

All I need to do now is decide......Golf R or Scirocco R......hmmmmm.
