Another GtiR owner here, currently running 276bhp @ 0.95 bar with slipping clutch at Powerstation the other day. A lot of people diss them, usually cause they have't driven a correctly setup one with the correct mods. I have nothing but praise for them, except for the gearboxes!

Standard engine wise, running 0.65bar - wheels and suspension soon to be changed tho

The main gtiroc is based on yahoo groups (emails) and is mainly a technical resource from other owners (it is VERY helpful 'cause there aint that many owners out there with experience with a car this complicated) with seperate groups for meets etc.
Rich, has your dad done anything to the R at all or had it on a RR ??

You're clutch will definitely go then at 1 bar.Sounds like a good suspension setup planned.I went for the adj konis(I do 50/50 country and dual carriageway)with whiteline kit,bumpsteer kit and strut braces with several polybushes.Best results got from bumpsteer kit though.Car is like a go-kart now-I'd imagine yours to be even more so when finished.

I wanted the Whiteline handling kit on too, but finances won't allow 
So you noticed more of a difference with the bumpsteer kit? Cool, made the right choice 
Will probably have to get the standard clutch replaced soon anyhow so might still go for the 1bar upgrade if I can avoid going on boost
seems to slip on 4krpms as power comes on then grips and pulls you away.
*makes mental note "Leave lead boots at home"*

Neil,
Yeah, my Dad absolutely loves it!!!!!
And don't worry, he takes good care of it. With my brother and myself both owning cossies, he's been taught how to look after a turbocharged car!
Not a slow one either is it?!!!!!

Hey Skid, got my Tein ha coilovers soon to be fitted, alongside 17 Oz superleggeras (couldnt get hold of 16s ), and I'm due to go to Powerstation in a couple of weeks to have the topmounts set up, and the bumpsteer kit added (and maybe even a bit of 1bar fun and frollicks whilst I'm there - or maybe not... my clutch slips even on standard boost )
Heres a pic of my Teins: http://www.btinternet.com/~whiskyowns/DSCF0178.JPG
and front pillowmounts:
