And of course, welcome to The Team.

Ride is a little firmer, maybe due to switching to 285/30/21 PS2's from 275/35/20 PZero's but grip up front seems to have improved slightly with less understeer. Rolling radius is slightly larger and notice that the cars indicated speed is now closer to that shown on GPS. She's no track toy obviously but can hold her own, especially in the wet he he

The MTM's are heavier than std, weigh in at 38lb I seem to remember but switching to Ceramics will shave over 10lb a corner unsprung!!

Last Vmax day I attended I managed to crack all my steels and cook my pads from repeatedly stopping 2tonne from 200mph'ish in circa 600m - Audi were kind enough to change the lot under warranty but don't think I'd get away with that again.

Also have a few track days lined up this year, as well as the high speed stuff... can never have to much stopping power?!

MRC is a great tuner.

Here's a video of the MRC800 pkg (check the mileage on that car!)

You should post pics of your interior.
Welcome to the team!

No not forged I'm afraid, BBS who make them don't forge the 21's sadly.

That is Km on that car not mileage, but going strong.

Here is it doing an indicated 371kmh (231mph!!!)
