flux. Have to fill a form in for each renewal. Cage has put it up by 120 this year. Weird how making a car stronger and safer makes it cost more to insure.

see if they clear the shockers in a bit. ride height probably to go up 20mm on front. rear needs to go up a bit anyway.

i was out last night smashing it round corners. it really has completely transformed the characteristics of the car. i mean to be expected. but it feels 100% different in every way to drive.

its a joint sort top change to my car along with the diff. those 2 things made such an impact to the way it drove, in my opinions anyway.

These tyres bigger than your previous?

How come you went back to toyos? As I thought you rated the yoko's slightly better?

toyo were 97, yoko 145. i wasnt sure they would fit on, so took the cheaper gamble.

dont mean to be a dick but... do you not need your arches flared now as the tread is showing? the VW crew will love you for the 'arch poke'

i doubt the 5-0 will pick up on it tbh
