Looks great. I'm curious though. How much did the interior weigh?

By RSA in your username, I assume you are in SA. If so, a TB conversion is prohibitively expensive. Jenvey Stockists: http://www.precisionrace.co.za You're looking at around ZAR15K for a complete Jenvey kit. Dave Ingle Competition Engineering makes a superb set of throttles, he has a 165kw mk1...

Huh?

Unloading a wheel is normal. It is doing nothing anyway. Stop steering with your throttle at low speeds (Aggressive liftoff can unload a rear wheel), and you shouldn't have much of a problem if it bothers you so much. Not that you'll know though.

Yeah, ok... Still being my first post I didn't want to wade in with something that may have been construed as spam. Their kit is phenomenal though.

My personal setup is as follows: Good quality front rotors Braided hoses (Not essential - I happen to like a firmer brake pedal) Piped in cooling ducts DS2500 Castrol SRF To be honest, if you need anything more than this, your driving style is at fault, and you could benefit with some...
