Tigger73's 162TSI Sportline

Anyone changing tyres on their Suzukas yet? Take a set of scales to the tyre shop and get a wheel weight.

Have seen someone post 29kg combined. Based on pirelli website tyres are around 13.5kg leaving 15.5kg wheel?

30KG that's pretty heavy load on axle , almost 50% more than my S-line 18 inch with 235/55/r18 New Conti6 model tyre with total weight only 22kg per wheel .But kapstatd looks really nice with gunmetal colour ,would be nice match with my Tiguan in tungsten silver

Looks awesome. Any noticeable ride/handling improvements with the lighter setup?

Looks good Tigger!

Maybe use your Gtech to see if the lighter rims improve your 0-100.

Nothing major. I have only run around the streets but possibly it’s a little less sprung weight over bumps. Still have to get weight of the Kapstadt.

Yeah I’ll weigh stock rims and if there’s a significant difference then I might look at rerunning the 0-100.

Ok got the Kapstadts on the scales and they weigh in at 13.5kg:



So FF15’s are 2kg lighter per corner and also 1” wider

Time for a Gtech 0-100 run......let’s test the unsprung weight theory......

I'm really not sure how much of a difference 2kg per corner is going to make. But if I wake up early in the morning I might do a couple of g-tech runs just for a bit of an experiment.

I've decided to put my stock Kapstadt's up for sale: http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/foru...ml#post1287355

This will help to fund the rest of my build, so you get new wheels and I get to install a HPFP and get my car tuned win-win

Let me know how you go with the gtech run, I know there are many variables, but this would be a good practical test of the unsprung weight theory.

What tyre pressure did you end up running?

I noticed your addition to your mod list of the HPFP, I was saying in the other thread this might have been the differentiator between the TTE475 and L450 builds. Now it’s a more level field, I’ve got my popcorn and waiting now for the build, dynos and/or timed runs.....
