    Tarmac, epic build mate. Love the fact you took on the build yourself.
    Golf R, Rising Blue, 5 Door, DSG and some extra fruit.

    Ok so im currently in talks and figuring out how to install a GTX2863R Turbo into the car. New manifold, New turbo of course, high flow charge oulet pipe, coolant lines, oil lines, intake adaptor elbow. Tune. 250awkw. Fun.

    This Banana guy rocks out with his C*ck out.

    Sounds like it is going to be a powerhouse, migt even beat that Commondore ute on the straight!
    Unfortunately the heavier weight and the AWD is always going to make it feel more tame than it really is.

    I agree with the RPF1 motion, but think you may need to do some kilo shedding (remove rear seats, spare tyre etc etc) to make it more agile/nimble?

    i was the same speed as that V8 ute but couldnt get past him. Not quite understanding the tame and agile comments? The car weighs 1500kg and for a street car thats pretty good. It feels great, sure i could take the interior out but whats the point for 1 day here and there. The best thing i will do in the future apart from the above is weight on the wheels and brake upgrade. Just the brake upgrade alone sheds a fair bit of unsprung weight.
