Oh no.... well... put in a clutch for overkill! But make sure it’s a sprung hub

So I couldn’t help myself... the day the wheels came in I put them on in the pouring rain then I drove to the gas station and filled up the air in the tires...

Lastly decided to go through the car wash ... she desperately needed one I think it’s been 3 years since she’s been on the road so it’s been at least 3 years since she had any kind of wash...

Cleans up well... can’t wait to do the Cupra R bits and more to come!

Took her out for her first flogging this morning... around some B roads and then the autobahn

I must say... It handles like a rollercoaster on rails! I can’t believe the stock 4x4 suspension is that good! I can only imagine with a proper setup on coilovers and wider tires and better brakes and more power... **** I’m excited!!!

Here is a photo of me doing 130mph LEGALLY on the autobahn... also played with a newer Cupra... he **** on me on the straights ... can’t wait to go big turbo E85, but in the curves I had more balls in the light wet and 4wd.

Yes I know the VW beetle sized plates look awful!

I have other plates ready for when the Cupra R bumpers go on thanks for the support!

i was amazed too when i picked it up in germany. stock suspension is pretty good. i really like how solid the 4x4 feels. completly different from the fwd, even with coilovers. i got bilstein b14 on both but the 4x4 seems to drive smoother and less firm, i guess because of the independant read suspension
