The modifications continue - Manthey coilovers incoming...

I love my MR suspension (installed after v positive review from TDT); I am also loving my RPM installed lower final drive. V max is now only c.160mph enough for the end of Kemmel and acceleration in 1st and second to 70 mph has improved considerably!

Come on, you know you want to do just one more mod once the shocks are installed - hope you enjoy them as much as I have.
 
Ha ha, cheers Richard - I'm sure I will šŸ˜

I've never had a problem with the gearing of the manual gearbox and find it absolutely fine as it is. I believe shortening the gearing screws up the autoblip system - is that true? If so, then I definitely wouldn't want to mess with that. While I enjoy heel and toe sessions on the road, it's nice not to have to do it on track.
 
Dave, Autoblip works absolutely fine on the road and on circuits and hill climbs! RPM installed it and promised me that this would be the case. I too could not live without it as I all my competitors run pdks. I know Chris' did not work properly but don't know why (and he didn't really care).

It has def improved my 0-60 times and about 0.15s for my 0-64ft times (2.2 vs 2.35) and improved my PB at Loton by c0.5s (total time 57.95). This also despite binning the lightweight flywheel for OEM standard.

I am going to switch to my 20" tyres for next outing as I am limited to c71mph in 2nd and could do with 74 and so there may be just a little bit more.

Benefits higher up in gears are much less clear as there is big gear overlap, so maybe less relevant in a track day but great for sprints and road driving!

Mind you - it's not cheap.
 
Great info, thanks! I totally get why you'd make the change for what you do, I'm not sure it's worth it for my use where I'm not chasing absolute outright speed/time. But I'll bear it in mind for sure (y)
 
the final drives ruins the gearing imo. Best way at that money is just do the gear box right and swap all the cogs, Or buy a PDK car esp for hill climbs.

"all my competitors run pdks." for a reason :)
