    OK, well im gonna see how this goes over the next couple weeks - if it doesnt settle down as much as I want it to i'll speak with Tim at dubaddiction and see what he thinks about going for a softer insert...

    Some more pics in daylight...

    Gonna have to re-do one wheel it looks like because when I was screwing one of the bolts back in, when the bolt was nearing the end, it started to grip the dip and pull it.... therefore the dip in the well/hole has come off the rim and it looks like there is a big air bubble underneath... no harm done tho... will just peel it all off, and re-spray it...

    More of a reason why plastidip is excellent, because you can stuff it up, and just start again...

    I have the hardest available torque arm insert in my claky, vibrating diesel. It was so bad for the first 1,000km but calmed right down.
    Idle was just like how I would imagine a V8 supercar would be - horrible and just... Racecar!

    Reverse is still bad, but as long as you get the revs above idle the vibes go away.
    Of course, having the manual helps a lot.

    With the insert in, my TDI M6 is quicker than a TSI DSG6

    Not including hers...
