Tornado Red Golf GTI DSG... New wheels.. Finally!!!
stealthwolf:
I dunno about many RR around here - I travel to JKM in portsmouth! :grin: :stupid:
I'm sure Jody at Midland VW in Cannock has a RR. Not sure about other places.
Am based near Heartlands Hospital. I use the shell garage on Station Rd! :grin:

@ Red Robin, thanks for the info. I think I will go for some lightweight wheels next and upgrade to stage 2. I reckon that should be more than enough for a daily driver :wink: And also, consider some handling mods :laugh:
@ Stealthwolf, I know exactly where the Heartlands Hospital is. In fact, I'm staying in Small Heath right now with my mum who is unwel. I normally fill up at Shell Acocks Green. Isn't the Station Road one closed due to renovation? Can't believe you live so close, yet I haven't seen your car around :confused:
stealthwolf:
The Station Rd one was closed but I went last week and it's been renovated. Love the new pumps - no more cutting out from too much pressure, and fuel flows at a higher rate.
Sorry to hear about your mum and hope she gets better soon!

....The most practical lightweight wheel options for a road car are Team Dynamics (~9kg each) or OZ such as Alleggerita's (~8kg). The OZ are more expensive but imo more stylish though the latest TD's are an improvement. For comparison, the Monza 18's weigh ~12kg each without tyres.
A lot of folks seem to overlook handling mods but personally it's where you can have most fun when the car is well planted, especially with the UK's national speed limit :sad1:

Thanks Stealth. She's a lot better now :happy2: Yeah the new pumps are great, used the one near Broad St a few times. Looks much better too.

OZ alloys are out of my league I'm afraid :sad1: Plus, I've been comparing our cars and it seems like I'm copying yours! (Not on purpose mind you! :P) We both have a 5dr Red GTI DSG, R32 rear end, OSIR front spoiler, TwinTake etc etc etc :grin:
Completely agree with you about the handling mods. Which handling mods would you recommend and in which order?
