any tips peeps?? obviously it's a little different to normal just wondered if there was anythin imparticular that you should do differently?? obviously jumping off the throttle mid corner will be far more entertaining than before!
lift off oversteer, great fun. just go with the flow and keep things smooth, no rash turns or jerky movements. you should be able to balance it on the throttle nicely. then again, probaly not, yours is a turbo not NA. Lee nearly lost his on a wet slip road on saturday. I knew he was going to fast but kept my mouth shut as I knew he knew it oo, and the fool back off sharply. the back end stepped out quite a way, but luckily he was quick and caught it. sh1t rear tyres didn't help either.

ah good nothin to really worry bout then?? just a case of being a little cautious in the wet and keepin smooth! well i'm sure i'll have a bit of an 'experiment' before donny hehe
chris which anti rolls bars you get?? getting mine hopefully by end of the week, i've gone neuspeed tho, think my driving style is going to have to change abit for road use, should be great on track! what suspension you got to go with it?
i've got FK konigsport coilovers, solid front top mounts. now got eibach anti roll bars to go on. what size ARBs did you go for??
25 front and 28 rear, rear is adjustable tho, not sure how yet, how do find the coilovers? im running koni TA's with eibach springs
coilover are great IMO... fine tune height to whatever you feel like... dampin would be the same as my FKs run the same internals as your konis. as for handling well i expect that there isn't that much difference to your car... but if you got real competitive then you could do corner weights and the like i guess. your car will corner slightly flatter then.. eibachs are 22/25.
I have a feeling that I'm gonna use a tank of petrol Wednesday night after i have fitted the ARB's! And if i can corner like Gary now i'll be pretty happy...
First thing you'll notice is FECK !! How SHARP does this turn now??? Next thing will be "I'm doing [cough] mph round this bend, and the car feels SO stable!!" If you don't have a big feck off cheesy grin on your face after the first drive with ARBs sell your Golf, please!!
Make sure the right foot doesn't get the jitters on the way down the craners....I have done this before. You leave 5 skid marks....the biggest one in your underpants! Keep it rooted to the floor.
LOL- My brother in law is a driving instructor in the Army, apparently he has a knife in the cab for the lads that don't listen.. Sunday... GVK does a pussy lift just before the left hander in Craners (I do!!) Ian says "flat out you tart!!"
Oh yeah, i cannot wait to get mine fotted, though i wont be able to properly test them til easter next year!!!! Ah well, best things come to those who wait. Will have the fekr fully poly bushed by then aswell
i'll agree with that!!! this guy is the king of tank slappers (or at least he used to be!), but he always scoops it up...apart from in you mums metro hey will!!! smoothness is always the way to go, use the throttle like it's an egg that your pushing around the floor with your foot - don't break it! and the steering isn't on notches, you can just turn it smoothly!
This is fun, but not the quickest way... My efforts at going sideways G_V_K gooning at Donny Losing it at Alconbury - hmm 4 flat spotted F1s [:^(] Proper sideways I tell thee
woohoo can't wait til mine arrive.... think i'm goin to have to plan a fun route/detour home from work!
