    Understeer

    In my view we are all missing the point here, the cars are designed to be as safe as possible for Mr & Mrs Average driver. These people never understand osteer or understeer and if you dont know what you are doing then understeer is the safer way to go. (natural instinct is to back off and...

    A3 3.2 chip

    I was under the impression that chipping would not add much value to a normally aspirated car. most of these engines today are pretty close to thier limits at standard,. someone will correct me if im wrong, but you will get only minor gains through chipping etc.. and therefore need to look at...

    S3 Anti-roll bars

    HI You all What you are doing by increasing rear roll stiffness is to decrease rear end grip.. The better way would be to decrease front roll stiffness which will increase front grip but leave the rear end unchanged. There is a very old Adage about Suspension engineering and that is work on the...

    Heel & Toe

    I have done some experiment with this and have found that if you brake it will indeed cut the throttle (safety feature) if you however keep your foot on the brake and blip the throttle it does work. I beleive the main problem with modern boxes is really related to the synchro's. older boxes...

I have begun to look but nothing seems to pique my interest, not even the VW seems to do it for me. maybe the new DSG a3 qautro, supposedly has...

    EBC vs Standard Brakes

    Brembo's off a Leon Cupra R, Will they fit an S3?

    Well the reason I asked is to solve a fade problem that I have with the brakes on the track, you know hot gasses between pad and rotor, every little bit helps. I will probably stick with my original idea of Tarox discs and standard calipers with red stuff pads.

    Pirelli p Zero Rosso

    Hi Garthy I loved my set, in fact set 2nd fastest with them in the wet, now I have S03's for daily driving and sometimes use the toyo r888's on the way back from the circuit to clean off the dags...(these are magic but wear quickly). F1's are good in the dry as well but like all road tyres go...
