Sunset Red 1.4 TSI(TFSI) GT Sport - daily drive & track car

Yes it is exactly like that! And waiting for it for two weeks makes "the reunion" much sweeter.
I had in plan to check each element to see that it is done properly but when I saw the car I lost all interest, I just wanted to drive off... When the dealer showed me the car it was slightly raining and the car was looking nice any clean. The car was parked with the front pointing in my direction so the ED30 front valance was visible and I just caught my eye. So, after a quick chat with the service manager about the brakes (he has a Passat and some Porsche 993 Turbo calipers and some S2 calipers and he was really amassed about my whole braking system - can't thank Dave enough) I just drove off :)

Top Cat:
Looks great Rex.  :notworthy: Isn't all that extra paint going to add weight.  :laugh:

rex:
Thanks  :smiley:. Well it is a daily drive so I can't afford to be extreme. I might try some weight saving methods (s3 hubs, racing seats, back seats removal, carbon fiber hood, etc) but I am not sure of the path I will take. This car needs a more powerful engine first of all. But at the moment I don't want to change the engine because I can have just as much fun with this one (it's just that I am slower).

fuscobal:
You'd definately benefit of some new front seats :)

rex:
No doubt, but I want to keep the stock look inside and I still want to use the back seats (impossible if I buy racing seats unless they are Recaro Sporter CS, but these are really expensive)
I think it all depends if I will buy a rollcage or not. If I buy one I will definitely change the seats.
I will pay Teo from Rent-racecar.de a visit and see the rollcage on his GTI rentals. And than I will make up my mind.   :happy2:
