Yeah, the sidewalls are pretty squishy and you've got all that weight on the nose. There's a 92Y version that should hold up a bit better.

Cheers pal, will look at plan B once iv'e killed these, which wont be long lol (not come up with plan B yet either)

Saw you on The Ring on Monday evening, the car was looking very tidy  :happy2: I was at the first chicanes taking pictures.

I hope you're having/had a good trip??

I found the track to be fairly quiet which was good  :smiley:

I got a couple of pics of you on the track, i'll try and get them up on here  :happy2:

A few pics of the R before she went to paint shield;








How to ruin handling and ride of your MK5 GTI!!

The white Edition 30 looks ridiculous.......I bet it handles like a pig being that low. The geometry of all components completely out of kilter and ruined.......thats why VAG and respected motorsport manufacturers like Bilstein, KW will be curled up or cringing!

Liking your MK7R though.....some nice touches. Have APR or Revo or others broken the encryption yet on the latest generation cars???
Pearl Black Edition 30 3 Door. DSG. (3rd Edition 30)
Maybe on the too do list: APR Stage 2+, KW Clubsports, Brakes, Diff.

I followed jay around rockingham and was surprised how well it seemed to handle. No idea what it felt like behind the wheel though.
