Well after seeing this, decided to go for a modified GTI rear myself and here's the result (LOVING IT)
Shop' the above:

looking very nice and like the 19"s fill the wheel arch alot better than 18's, also are you using coilovers or springs seems a nice ride height.

lol cheers for the comments guys.
I've actually dropped the car using 'shop ride height  :grin:
Thinking about Eibach Pro Street springs to actually do the job but the guy who I asked to fit them recommends getting the front struts done at the same time otherwise the original shocks will need replacing after a year, can anyone help?

What times did you run out of interest at the pod?

First Run (Ever!):
Reaction = +1.3537
60ft = 2.9127
1/4 ET = 17.0465 @ 86.95mph

Fastest Run:
Reaction = .7721
60ft = 2.4094
1/4 ET = 15.8412 @ 88.36mph

Cars been remapped to 187bhp and 295lb/ft torque. She did have a burst NS shock, don't know if this may have been a factor in the runs, but I was told the top end mph should've been more.

Well, I've got to update this now!
Fitted today a set of Eibach Sportlines and Full Milltek Exhaust System! Loving it!!!!
Heres the pics:

Whats the fitment like of the 235's in the arch's? I've always wondered if 235's would fit. Do you have any issues on full-lock?

Fitment is fine  :happy2:
When I had the 19's put on the tyres do catch when you go through some rough roads, like potholes or nasty bumps, so I was even more worried about them catching when the cars dropped, but they are just the same tbh! If anything, having the stiffer springs helps and they don't touch at all on full lock either! So go for it  :happy2:

Interesting stuff. Could you just confirm the offset of the RS6 Replica's?

Basically you've proven that the arch's will take 235 width tyres, possiblity 245 = more grip!
Title: Re: Another Sooty GT :)
Post by: Rocket on April 12, 2009, 08:21:49 pm
Not 100% sure but off the top of my head I think the wheels are 5x112 and 45 offset, got them from wheelbase. As for 245 width, don't know about that, might be too wide as the RS6 alloys are right on the edge of the arch line!

Thought I'd update this, but after the fun at SC and a slightly improved map, going by stats I've found through various online resources, with the output of my car being at:
189/190 bhp and 315lb/ft torque
this puts me on near enough on par with a BMW 123d (201bhp and 295lb/ft), which has a 0-60 time of 6.8, so my GTTDI must be close if not 7secs, which makes me smile  :grin:
