I know you already have Ohlins on the S2000 but I look forward to your opinion of them on the Golf  :happy2:   I bloody love them!

Don't worry about brakes until you've got the Ohlins on because the dive behaviour (slow speed compression) might be different.

.... but I want to spend some more money  :signLOL:

Yes can’t  wait to get them on  :ashamed:

The USA has great support for a turbo conversion but over here only a few have done it , at great cost and much headache ! And for me I like the linear power delivery . I’m looking into the TTS rotrex supercharger kit . Still best part of 8k if done correctly  :doh:

Fancy buying a TTE420 for your Pirelli then?  :grin:

Yeah I've watched quite a few of LHT Performance's Kraftwerks kit installs, looks like a good mod  :happy2:   Maybe do a UK install video with their endorsement, and get some kick backs if you spread the word?  :smiley:

That is exactly what I've felt when changing from my 5 year old B16s to ASTs, Pud. The nose dive behavior is greatly reduced and I'm beginning to feel that the rear brakes are finally doing something :D ...but I'm still reserved until the first trackday.

So unless you really won't to spend the money, just wait until the awesome Ohlins are on.  :wink:

Love the LHT videos ! Proper car guys , and great skills . I personally wouldn’t attempt a diy on the supercharger install .... I use Tgm who are very well respected in the Honda world . ..... if my S2k was not such low mileage ( 27k) I’d be more inclined to go crazy with it . But can’t help thinking I’m Being stupid molesting what is up there with the very best n/a engines made ( IMO)

420 kits not for me .... think I’ve even decided not to go + on my stage 2 . 320 is a great power figure for a small hot hatch ... and with the diff , arbs and soon the ohlins , I can use all the horses in every gear in most situations.

Is your friend local? The I ran past a red/orange 720s parked up in Ashurst a few weeks back

Yes , lives over in woodlands  :happy2:

I expect you’ll never see him out and about in either the spyder/gt4 ... they don’t have 1000miles on them .... between them !! What a waste . I’m hoping one day he’ll sell me the gt4 .... he’ll have to be in a very generous mood for me to be a able to afford it  :ashamed:
