Gotcha  :happy2:

I was one of the first to try the different version, but I don't know how many have been sold to the UK since.  I think its a 150 quid option now.  It just kicks in harder more like a true LSD.

Collected the Peloquin Diff this morning  :party:  - Thanks Jason

Will be fitted at the end of the month with the Geo properly fixed by Alex Kerr 'VrsAlex'

Went into VagCo this morning for the sheared neuspeed ARB clamp replacing.  Fantastic service from Simon as usual.  No knocking from the art flailing around any more  :smiley:


Pick up 350mm Discs and 996 calipers from Dave Brown on Wednesday, fitting Saturday.   :party: :party:

Waiting for BCS to get the cut back oval tips in stock so I can have the new 3" BCS system built with het wrapped decat down pipe  :party: :party:


All that will remain is Carbon bonnet, 2nd set of (oem) wheels for road tyres so track rubber can go on TD's, Light weight recliners, Water meth and see if APR have an update for my St2+ (or switch to REVO)
