    Looks good Simon. I'm happy to see (and hear) it makes such a difference. Can't wait now.......

    Now you need to get moving on those wheels .......

    Also, I think some investigation is requried into exhaust tips. It needs a set of slighter larger ones IMO..... and the good things is there looks like there is some space to do it in the bumper.

    Cat back exhaust also might be a good idea looking at that BIG silencer there at the back ...... in stainless it would probably set you back less than $500 and maybe free up a kw or 2....

    Hopefully wheels will be sorted within the next few weeks as it looks like I have a buyer for my stockies, possibly. Damn those RS4's look good Johan!! Shadow chrome would look total horn but can't seem to find any? Still torn between them and the oldskool RS6 5 spokers though:

    Those RS6's look pretty good but for me the RS4's take the cake.
    But it is your car and we don't want every tig to ride on RS4's or we wouldn't be able to tell who's who.

    I actually prefer the RS6's, it will look really good on a black Tig. I got the RS4s (my 2nd favourite, and probably more suited to a silver Tig) for such a good price I couldn't resist.....

    Lack of funds unfortunately John If I sell the stockies I only need to come up with a further $500 or so for the 18"s. Re-map will definitely happen just a matter of $$ Went to Wollongong for the weekend and gave her a good go through the bends on Macquarie pass and it was definitely more planted, the steering feels a lot more responsive, change of direction quicker also. I reckon with the rear being dropped slightly more than the front has made the weight distribution more equal front to rear.

    Dave you're ***** stirrer!! LOL
