How are you finding the TT wishbones? am considering some of these myself.
Were they an improvement and do you know what the camber was after fitting them?

The TT wishbones are great. Its really hard to set the camber up nicely on the normal wishbones, but simple on the TT versions. I have my front camber set a 2 degs negative. With the ball joints all the way out you can get 2.5 degs.
The main advantage is the ability to gain extra negative camber. They also weigh bugger all compared to the originals. Next step is to get some TT alloy hubs as these lower the ball joint further and level up the wishbones. I looked at the S3 hubs and they dont lower the joint.

Id be interested in a group buy but maybe the ceramic is a little too expensive.
Does the KO4 engine have a modded block and stronger head too?
If I go for the induction kit I might fabricate a meshed support like the itg that would aid air flow too.
Let us know Alex.
Maybe one of us could do a review as well.

Has the ITG got a meshed support?
I think the K04 engines have the same head, block and crank as the K03 engines.

Alex, sorry I wrote that wrong, I meant I would make a meshed support that looks like the ITG Foam one.
Maybe not even Mesh just a fabicated support.
Let me know what you think of the GB and review thing.
I may come up and have a look as I am not to far away from you.

I know what you mean. :smiley:
Pop on over. Its always good to see a product.
You got the cooler yet?
Im working out what brake kit to go for and the AP Pro5000+ bits are taking my fancy. I deal with AP and DaveB can do the bells and brakets. Would be a great kit to start selling too.

No I think he is popping it over on Tuesday.
Can't wait starting to get things sorted now and once I have all the bits I will start a members ride.
Have you got the KO4 back yet?
