Surely it shouldnt scrub with 14" draped n 185/50...mine looked like a 4x4 before i lowered it. Unless the offset is way off on the rims and its somehow catching. could be that? mind u theyre golf rims so cant be that far out surely....meh..what do i know :-)

I have 185/60/14's on at the moment and the speedo is dead on,according to my RAII I havn't got it past 80 yet, well not with the RA connected.

I was quite supprised by how fast the GT can go before it starts shaking/falling apart.

I'm so used to driving with 6 gears now that I keep trying to change from 5th, luckily reverse is not in the place 6th would be on the polo. Not like the unfortunate Honda Jazz I had as a courtesy car :oops:

James.
That doesnt just happen to you! :P I went from a 1.3 CL to a GT and the CL has much taller Gears. Many is the time Ive gone to change up and "oh, Im already in 5th" Not that its a massive problem now - Ive got the tall ratio box In my 1.4 GT :D
