i'm fully aware of hurdys car and like i said , i'm sure it is faster round a track and of course it can be used day to day, but i'll stand by my point that it wont be as pleasant to use as the standard version.
Certainly not in Aus, where you can't do much over 50mph anywhere without fretting about your license.
But in the UK, on roads that are very lightly policed I know when I drive my Golf I f*cking love it way more than anything else, but then I probably have more invested in it emotionally than those who have just furtled around the edges with the trim and other minor stuff like remaps and diverter valves.
With Hurdy's car it's not that it *can* be used day to day, it's that it *has* been used daily for months and years. I fail to see how it is so much less pleasant than standard?
A lot of people's opinion seems to have been informed after spending not much on not very good 'performance' upgrades like coilovers and other tat.
Spend proper money carefully and you will improve the handling of a car (and performance), without compromising the ride and certainly not the performance. To do this you need to not be precious about ride height and BS things like that.
Or just move on.
