Just because the adjustable spring pans are at the same height doesn't mean the car is level or the weight is balanced between the wheels. If you want the handling to be spot on...

    Evo or not to Evo that is the question

    Guy at work bought an Evo 6 a few months back, and we all said to him he wouldn't be able to afford to run it as he must do at least 500 miles a week. Three months down the line he's still got the Evo, but he comes to work in the other halfs 1.2 Corsa His other half now uses it to do the...

    CTR vs my Chipped S3 - nothing in it

    From a rolling start to 100mph you'll need a large power advantage in an S3 to really pull out a good lead on a CTR... In straight line acceleration once you're above 30mph you've lost most of the advantage of 4wd, and the higher tranmission losses and extra weight are starting to count against...

    Virtual Performance Figures - S3 vs S3 (Chipped)

    Is it possible to reach Rpm limit on the 6th gear

    Well to achieve the speed in the right column in your average road car you need roughly the power in the left column Mph--BHP 30---5 40---8 50---12 60---19 70---27 80---38 90---52 100--69 110--90 120-114 130-143 140-176 150-215 160-258 170-307 So to get to a true 175mph it must be one hell of...

    Tuning Question

    Not really, pretty much anything you can do with an S-AFC can be done by remapping the chip.

    Tuning Question

    Some of you seem to be suggesting the Apexi AVC-R as an alternative to a remapped/chip, but what you've got to understand is that all it does is control the actuator, hence the boost. However what it doesn't do is alter the fueling or ignition timing. So although you can increase the boost you...
