Hi Guys, I guess I'm the newest newbie on this site so just a bit about the drive and me.
Black R36 Wagon, mid 2010 delivery. Chipped within 6mths of new, +10% I'm assured (not dyno checked).
Set of H&R Springs and bars fitted only 3 months into the mission after I nearly ploughed (understeered) off a very quick right hander on first serious run. Springs 30mm lower and only slightly stiffer (wheels now fill the guards nicely). Bars: Front +10% Rear +30%. Turn-in now much sharper. Clever chipping also managed to dial out dodgy left foot breaking trap (designed by VW to protect DSG clutches I believe and now appearing in other Euros), so now a much better drive on track days. I've just turned 71 and can still hold my own in track day fields with similar gear and still lovin' it.
It's a daily commuter so must remain 'liveable'... but any suggestions for other improvements will be thankfully received.
John
