Wigit thanks a lot for that pm, I need to explain myself just a little bit more here aswell. This is also my track day toy I have a range rover sport and the wife has a audi a3 black edition, this is now my toy to start tweaking more than I already have. Here's a list so far just so you get the picture, h&r front and rear arbs with neuspeed drop links (which has sorted a lot of the twitchiness at highnspeeds out, vwr lower engine mount may add the other 2, tt lower arms may get hubs aswell if dave b can sort a new bracket for my BBK to fit as the hub is a lot bigger in size but half the weight, r8 4pots which ar e great combined with the minted fast road pads and 2 piece ap discs, s3 rears with 310mm drilled and vented discs, poly bushes fitted to full front end, white line anti lift kit, with poly bushes, braided hoses, autograph carbon fibre induction kit, updated dump valve, 3" milltec down pipe and sports cat with Jetex rear stainless, and Giac remap to 290 bhp. I also have previous track day experience just not in my personal car and have done a lot of rally cross with a friend in the past, so have quite a bit of experience just need to get use to new tracks etc.... Hope this puts me in a better position for you to advise on what next etc.... Cheers.

Or I have been toying With the idea of a Quaife LSD from vw racing for quite some months would I just be better getting this for now and see how I go on with my wheels and tyres as is? Cheers for all the help btw.

1.2s and Federals sounds like a plan, ruin them as you get used to it on track and further evolve the car. Once you're happy, get some really sticky stuff!
I managed without a diff, but only because it didn't fit my ethos of never doing anything you can't remove and sell. I just got sticky tyres and set the car up to suit... but if you've got money to chuck at it, do it.

Well ive took your advice and gonna see how the car fairs on the existing wheels and tyres for the minute, however i have spoken with matt and my car is booked in for a Quaiffe LSD next week. Matt says it will be ready in time for the weekend giving me just enough time to get sorted for tuesdays trackday. So i am now looking forward to this and matt says it makes a hell of a difference. I'll see how the tyres fair as i say and if they are really bad i may upgrade to the new ones.

It'll probably be a bit kinder on the tyres too with the diff, instead of spinning the inside all the time.
Good plan!
