Regular GTi only, since it is on promotion at HK$288,000 due to QC issue of LED light and Sensor in Bumper. Only one can be chose. 4 doors only, no 2 doors makes me hesitation.

the stuff is permanent, but i already took out the spare wheel and tools.

however this does not affect the unsprung weight in the inertia of the wheels, the nuts do.
Since fitting the 19' 3 piece wheels and 30 tyres, wheelspin is a problem especially in shiny car park surfaces
as the grip is affected by the harder low profiles and maybe i need to reduce the psi BUT the dsc has only come on several times
v the BMW, seems the BMW one is more sensitive to a certain point, whilst MB dsc stops everything when u go to a limit eg.cannot move faster after

Driving up to ZIC is fun, especially the way up and down, you can drive as fast as you can, some of my friends hit 320km/h, on the way to GIC., however I don't really enjoy driving in the track, just hard acceleration and hard breaking, " very harm the car" may be renting a track car is a better idea.

There are so many track days going on march, SMD, Porsche Club, Type-R club and now lotus, etc they'll all be on on march or april.

Have the brake up grade and fresh tyres fitted then enjoy the track day.
