if tsr wanted to use it as a wang waveing excersise i think they should have done a proper job and

fitted an abf with forged pistons i beam rods, even more porting and a solid lifter head breathing through throttel bodies and a 9500 rev limute  or at least gone hunting the 200
all the VW's have gone bar 1.

Liked their suspension set up choice though! (pretty sure it was the same as mine)  :smiley:

Remind me, what did they fit?  :smiley:

Eibach Springs and Koni adjustable dampers.

... it's turned into a fashion show for poofters.

Thanks  :smiley:

the car still had far too much body roll

I thought that and I was surprised they did not sort it.  I guess it came down to time available or budget  :undecided:
