I am a bit of a lurker on here, but felt the following was more than worthy of a note to all. I am in the process of going with a Beach Buggy turbo hybrid, and part of that process is an upgrade to a full BCS Powervalve system. i am always a believer of judging companies by how they deal with...

They are AMG aeros.

Any more takers on a helping hand on this. Pretty please.

A few of the mapping companies now do a map for the DSG. It raises the launch rpm, and disengages the auto up shift as well as increases the limiter to 7200. I went with Shark stg 1 and the DSG map. Definitely worth the £

Honeymoon, I guess. Needs to get his priorities sorted, we need him.

Sport or manual. Disengage traction control Left foot brake Right foot on accelerator to he floor. When ready, Sidestep left foot and let the car do the rest. You will notice Upshifts are not so sharp, but it's a perfect start every time. With he DSG flash it increases the launh RPM by 500...

Yes, I know another wheel size thread, but I have done my homework, and still don't have he confidence to push "buy now", so please help. Currently running 19, but want to go back to 18. Im running 25 mm springs. I know the SB suffers from a rub issue more than a 3 dr. So will a 9.5x18 et40...

Ahh, ok, got it now. I have had them done for a while as I have had my winters on. Probably allow 2 weeks, they weren't in a bad way, but I just fancied a change. Cost wise varies from £60 to £75 a wheel in my experience dependent on the amount of work involved. Some will be cheaper but I...

How long till refurb? Don't go there, They are VMR 710's 8x19 et45 Thanks

Sometimes fewer words are better. Im sure most of you are now well accustomed to the impeccable level of service, quality of work and extra attention to detail that comes when dealing with N8 Nathan Kowalski. All round top guy, who cant be recommended enough and your nuts if you dont have this...

I have been playiong around with spacers overe the last week or so, and admit that the initial advice was 10mm front and 12mm rear. im on H&R springs and have just taken my summer wheels off for a refurb, and reverted back to the standard 18's. wanting to push the envelope, i decided to go for...

looking great buddy and good to see some pics up on here. glad i was of some use, although i must admit i only raped N8 for his biblical knowledge and passed on what i knew. i guess you will have a play around with it, and i reckon that you will end up a bit lower than you are now. let the...

I'm running et45 and 225's with H&R springs. The screw needs to be removed. It will rub slightly for about 1000 miles and then it settles fine. 215 is the only guarantee, but I have been happy with the way I did it. I just found out the tyres on the rs3 are different front to back, maybe Audi...

8L was apparently and I believe the 8p is as well, but only by a very small almost negligible amount. So far from all my research it's TT mk2 control arms, but I need to dig further on this before diving in. Anyone actually done this?
