I know it add negative camber but i think it does not gain better arch/wheel clearance as camber plates do.

THe TT Wishbones and ends allow you to dial in negative camber at the front.

And there is a weight saving too.   :happy2:

"TT arms are about 6mm longer than GTI/A3 ones and TT ball joint have oblong shape holes which provide 6mm more to play around.

TT arms are also 1,8kg each lighter than GTI/A3 ones.

All together TT arm and ball joint give at the minimum set up 1,6° negative camber and at the maximum set up 2,4° of negative camber."

Lovely Vrs you have there.  Just wondering how you find the Fiscon?  I presume it's the basic plus you have?

Yep, the Fiscon is great and yes it's a "basic plus".  I had this in my last car and swapped it over.  Excellent piece of kit.

Only downside vs. the OE bluetooth is that the fiscon does not integrate with the voice control feature on the Columbus/RNS510 (unless anyone can correct me?).  For me that's not really a problem as I doubt I'd use that feature anyway, but it might be a consideration for some.

Nice Car Rob

Only slight envious of the Seats, Xenons, tinted glass, Heated seats and curtain bags :signLOL:

Does the mfsw you have the red stitching?

You can have voice control with the fiscon kit, where is your fiscon mic installed?

Hi Eddie

Yes, my MFSW has red stitching.

Re the voice control - my mic is on the A pillar, not in the factory location.  Does that make a difference?

Sorry to hijack the thread but how would you get voice control to work with the fiscon unit.

Do you use both the fiscon and vw microphones?

Nice cars  :happy2:

Quick question - where did you source the RSe07's? Been keeping an eye out for a set but rare in the UK.

Awesome imported a set for me from the states - took a couple of months but worth the wait.  I looked at importing myself but the shipping was expensive plus you have to add on the import duty too.. so that made it too much £.

Eddie thanks for the price for the voice control but I think I'll hang fire on that for now - I have a big bill coming this week from Alex lol.

Today I visited a well known tuner based in deepest Befordshire..


.. can you guess who it is yet?!  :wink:



Bilsteins:


TT wishbones and Autotech rear anti roll bar (not yet unpacked):


OE steel wishbones removed:


Removed the OE vRS console bush (voided)..

.. replaced with the TT solid bushes:






No pics of the car with everything fitted up as it was dark by the time Alex had finished and also chucking it down with snow.  Lousy trip back with the weather but got home in one piece thankfully..  It'll be back to AKS hopefully some time next week to get the ride height setup.

Thanks for all your efforts today Alex!  

 :happy2:

Next:  TT shifter, MFSW, OEM shark fin antenna.
