    Car Alarms

    Having just scared off what looked to be an attempt to remove me of my car (my house was burgled last week and I now think they must have been looking for my car keys) I need to be security minded and think about alarms. The car has the standard Audi one and it does work, or seems to work, it's...

    How low should I go?

    How much are people lowering their car with it still being usable. Maybe actually sometimes being able to get in and out of NCP car parks kind of useful. I put my coilovers on at the weekend and the car is TOO low, it scrubs when i take corners hard! You can just fit one finger inbetween...

    Supersprint Exhaust

    Mostly when searching for exhausts on this site, you get 50% good and 50% bad for Milltek, however, I've always been impressed with Supersprint, ever since I first heard one on a Golf VR6.... I know they make cat back systems for Audi A3 1.8T, but do they make high flow cats and where would I...

    FWD vs 4WD?

    I've just made a trip of approx 20 miles in light traffic at 4pm. So, I'm sat in my FWD Audi A3 at a red light after a very slight bend in Bracknell, next to the Hilton. You know how you worry when you see someone coming up behind you too fast if they are going to hit you, well I was busy...
