Moving on up - new vr6

The porsche logo's an option I'm pretty sure, I guess the best way to find out is see if there's any part numbers or anything on them

oh ok, sorry to jump to that conclusion then my badd....

I'm not completely sure about the part about being an option haha. My dad had one a while ago and I'm racking my brain trying to remember the interior

[Njay]

they're Porsche GT3 replicas (no badging) Bring it along to one of the meets found a new set of wheels yet?

I'll agree that they are reps, gt3 usually has it stitched into the seats and real ones are worth more than the car is

[girls2L]

Ooohhhh *rubs hands together* gt3 seats hey lol! Will google and see what I can find, my partner wants me to have leather trimmed originals put in since I'm apparently to small and need to see more that just y whiper blades!

I will be at the next meet for sure! I just spent a whole day buffing and waxing and making her all shiny and clean so will have to do it again an tidy the engine bay up too for the next one

No new wheels yet I'm going insane lol i might have to put the original bbs wheels back on and hope the cops don't pull me over until i can get some new pirellis for them but really don't like the 18"s on the golf *shakes head*

it'll be a bit quicker with the stock 15's back on it too

It may be the placebo effect.

But going for 17" semi slicks, to stretched 15"s the car felt like it accelerated twice as quick(mad wheelspin/torquesteer)

No its not. Its the simple science of rolling diameters, and the fact that the 15's will weigh a bunch less

This. Putting smaller wheels/tyres on has pretty much the same effect as changing the final drive of the gearing. Removing unsprung weight supposedly is the same as removing 10x the amount in sprung weight too, so losing a few kilos in the wheels makes a lot more different than losing a few kg from the rest of the car. If you go from a big heavy set of 18s to a small set of 15's with smaller overall rolling diamere, which are say 10kg less, you are practically gearing the car to accelerate faster, and losing 100kg.

I know it's shorten the gearing, but my wheels weigh twice as much(wheels+adapters)
