Awesome photo Ross, well worth the purchase!

So you reckon it will be quicker than your old b7?

Yes. Easily.

I could go 08:30 now with a couple of laps more experience with the car and not backing off for some traffic etc. Put it on PSS's and perhaps some even better brake pads and I'd wager 08:00-08:10 is possible with me - sub 08:00 with someone who actually knows what they're doing.
Might be worth posting this on the b7 forum. :jump: :piss:
I look forward to the sub 8 min B8 videos.

Frank Stippler has proven the B7 and PSS's were not around back in 2006. Probably done on P-zero's hence all the tyre squeal :thumbs:

Hold your horse now tho - let me get back to 08:30's first :drink:

The b7 can be a weapon for sure - I wish more people tracked b8's so I could collaborate and get info. Do feel like I'm kinda paving my own way a bit with brake/tyre choices etc. does anyone know anyone else who tracks b8's?

Weekend can mean only one thing. The wife's away so I'm cleaning the car. ;)

Slowly getting the quality where I want but I've had to concede the g220 DA I've been using just isn't up to the job so I've bitten the bullet and bought a new machine - a flex 3401. Hopefully that will allow me to up my game somewhat and get rid of this factory orange peel.

Orange peel is a nuisance on all modern cars sadly....wet sanding is the only solution .... Swallow the brave pills
