Welcome, looking forward to read your posts!
Wow :bigeyes: - could you try and make the signature a little bit smaller, like half size in height?

Thanks!

I have a good deal of knowledge about what goes on with the TT on this side of pond, I am hoping to learn some things about some of the Euro parts that are available.

How about some pics? I could not tell which one of the TT's was yours that was in your sig.....

Here is a pic of mine...

Nice other woman aswell! :D See that you have placed the gauges the same way as I have! The car looks great, is a -02 or? Those seats were not avaliable from the start of production, were they?

272hp at the wheels means about 350 in the engine, or? Thats where im headning with mine aswell! :)

IŽll try to get get my pictures up later on tonight (maybe morning where you live ;) )

It is a 2001 but the seats are recovered....not factory.

272 works out to about 310 at the crank on 93 Octane fuel (12% drivetrain loss for a fwd)

The dyno linked above shows my 100 Octane run as well, that came to 306 wheel hp, approx 350hp at the crank.

Thanks for the compliments!

Ok, that explains it!

I thought it was a quattro! Then its about 20-25% drivetrain loss. :( Thats what I have to suffer.

How is the gearbox handling all of that power? :MTM: No problems or have you reinforced it in any way?

I did a quaife differential, kevlar 6 puck clutch and a lightened flywheel (11lbs)

The car is tricky in first gear but any other gear is OK...the APR kit is so linear that it is actually easier to drive than a chipped K03 turbo.

Im going to lighten my flywheel aswell and change from a (not sure of the spelling) dual mass to a single mass.

Sounds good that its linear, you dont want that AllAtOnce effect!

Have yuo done any 1/4 mile racing? If so what where the results?
