I like it. It's the GTD gear knob, right? :happy2:

Yup MK7 GTD. I like this better than the GTI one because it has grey stitching (not red) :driver:

And another update: new track day tire.







I previously had Kumho V70 A and Dunlop Direzza 03G and I liked them both.
The Cup2 one should be a bit worse than the above but it was 300 GBP cheaper (per set) than the Dunlop so I could not pass the opportunity.
I think I will get the chance to test them in May, at Hungaroring. :drinking:

For your car it's better suited. :happy2:

300 £ is still a lot of money, as a difference between a set of 4 tyres.  :surprised:

Yup... the price convinced me to buy these. But hopefully they don't use them on supercars for nothing  :thinking:

And getting ready for the upcoming Hungaroring trip, I noticed that the rules have changed and I need a front tow hook.
As I need to get the fog grille off in order to install the tow hook, and considering I need the grille for the brake cooling I had to improvise  :innocent:
So I cut the grille a bit and I made room for this:



I don't really like the solution so I ordered a tow strap instead.
But, considering I am going to Hungaroring next weekend, there is no time to mount it.
So, the above solution is only temporary.

Nice colour match there too Vlad!

Hows the car running? Still thinking of an engine transplant still?

The engine is running just fine. It just suites the car very well. With this engine the car is very balanced.
But I still want a 2.0 TFSI  :evilgrin:

Yeah TFSI lump in a car this well set up would be awesome, don't even need much power just a nice 250bhp would be plenty. How do you find the CUP 2's so far?
