I really love this car, saw it in real life about a month ago at Top One Automotive (one of my mechanics lol) and had a great chat to Tendy as well. It's got a lot of presence. The black Brembo brakes are crazy hot, really deserves better pictures Tendy!!!!

So much talk not enough photos.

Seriously, needs a shoot man. I loved this thing in real life. I walked up to it, had a good look at it, then decided to say G'day to the guy to praise him on his car. That one photo does this car no justice at all!

The car feels a bit loose and fat on the track.
My idea for this car at the moment is street use with a bit of trackability.
Now that I've upgraded the brakes and coilover, should feel a bit tighter. Haha.

Soon, I hope. I'm not a very good driver. Still learning the track. Only did 1:15 @ wakefield. My mate drove it and do 1:11 - !:12 consistently. LOL.
He reckons after the brake and suspension upgrade should touch 1:10.

10D are you able to disclose the actual size and price for those Advan RS-D's? Was looking at the Bright Chrome gunmetallish colour for my UG. Sucks to be slow, Frenchie has BBS CH Black and you have the Black Advans!!!

Frenchie
04-03-2010, 09:54 AM
haha good thing happens intime Mr P

What are you after 18'' or 19'' ?

Pharkus
04-03-2010, 10:01 AM
18" x 8" as my understanding is that it is quite a bit more costly for the long term costs sourcing a tyre with the correct load rating required for 19" wheels.

Frenchie
04-03-2010, 10:22 AM
Sweet - well both styles will look sexy your UG

I am partial to BBS but compare the $$ 1st

Haha. Of course.
They are 18"x8 +48 offset. I got them through the local dealer for 950 each. Expensive. They got the polished one too.

They said the Flow forming process is as good or if not better than forging.

Then another guy said, hey the there is a new version of it, RS-DF, which is forged!

I then almost vomitted.

You were sold the wheels, then you found out about the forged ones?
Do you have buyers remorse or did you just work out that you would have wanted to have paid the extra for the top line forged ones?

How many kg weight saving for the forged?

(I would love to see you with CF composite wheels to complete your look! :))

10d

Actually the new forged ones called RZ-DF. Only a few grams lighter, but cost more again.

Nice car and good choice on the wheel replacement. More of a classic look against the white. I too have seen this car in the flesh and it is just amazing. The positive look on these mods is that Tendy have managed to keep the GTI look.

I still believe that if you want really light wheels, it needs to be forged for stronger rigidity especially in our terrible sydney roads. But this is just my opinion.

I'd like to know what you plan with the CF bonnet.

How do you do that, if a full CF one isn't allowed on the roads.

I think you might have found a way!

That is HOT. New wheels on my wish list. Great choice Tendy. Now can you get someone at BobJane to source them? I might be able to convert AMEX points for $1k, that would mean only a top up of say $1,500 max.

met up with Tendy and Tony today and what can i say? Just when i thought i knew all of Tendy's car there were more surprises! those brakes are monster! i'm amazed how they JUST fit with the wheels! and the amount of mods that people have shotgunned already is another thing hahahah

many hilarious moments like when that noob dragged the parking kerb thingie majig with his lip and when that new recruit said he was going APR, Tony stuck his head out and said did i just hear APR?!? APR is not welcome here! LOL good times

It was also interesting to hear you and Tony talking business and you didn't notice but i was taking mental notes so when its my time i have some idea or direction hahah ahhhhh such a good day!

They are 18x8 +45. They are very light for a non forged wheel. Strong too I might add. Special casting technique.

I like the way to think, Step!

Bwahahaha.

A photoshoot sounds good. and don't forget, we are both running on Alpil wheels too now! What a coincidence now that I think about it!

(geez, I hope Justin didn't get mad )

Step, the RS-D are going to a new home :) and 1 more set of custom Work Schwertz on the way :)
I got the 19" AMG wheels on the car at the moment.
That being said, that means you only got 4 undies??? :lol:

Tendy, this wheel talk is surely foreplay, before you bring out the big guns - those carbon wheels! :D


This weekend might have some big surprises between you, Anthony and Justin, going mod mad!


Set yourselves up in 1960 clothes for the show & shine and call yourselves Mod Men.

Hehe. More for weight saving and quieter sound. ARQRAY said that it should be only about 83 db which is good.

The wheels will look almost the same with your Huffs, J!

I'm guessing 6kg weight savings. Let's lay bets down!

Give him 2 weeks and it'll be yours.

Two! It could be one week when he finds out there is a carbon fibre gold plated exhaust that spits out lobsters available.

Only if it has diamonds on top of the CF gold plating...

Would the lobsters have had the flapper mod?

Probably not, but there shells would be carbon fibre and you would need special tools to eat your lobster meal.

Weight saving, eye candy CF lobsters that require proprietary tooling. What did they do to you in HK John!?! :)

I thought I got blinded by the AP ROO that was diamond encrusted at over $1M HKD (got chased away by angre asian woman trying to take a pic of it). I get back thinking my eyes would get a break from the constant bling in the jewellery shop windows that appear all the way down Nathan Road. But NO! Seems that in my absence 10D, Justin and AP have gone completely bonkers!
