haha, i left my headunit on, just turned down the volume. the way it's wired, the antenna goes up whenever the headunit is on. i'm thinkin of eventually just having the antenna shaved, sort of hate it because it seems such a "old" type of technology.

Looks awesome ANT!! I love the new wheels somehow it matches with the theme of your car. The endless brakes must be nice on the track.

Thanks,

the volks do match better with the carbon fiber parts on the car, it does make it look more aggressive. but i'm going to keep that look strictly to the track. when back in dd status, the HRE's go back on.

the endless brakes are great, however, i know i'm not pushing them to the limits just yet (still a wuss). i'll get there soon though as i'm getting a better feel for what they can really do.

how's the track with 19's?

I am about to order a set of 18" wheels just to reduce the rotating mass, and tires are a bit cheaper :P

true, i was aiming for 18s in the first place, but it is extremely hard to find 18s that would clear the Endless BBK. Tracking on the 19s isn't toooo bad, but then again that's coming from a beginner and someone who hasn't tracked on a smaller rim. IMO, the type of tire makes the biggest difference. When I tracked the first time on the HREs with Pilot A/S tires, whenever the rear was near the limit and about to break loose, it did so without any real time to try and control it. However, the Volks have BFG KDWs on the rear and were a little more lenient and I was able to catch it the times I got loose.
