Very prevalent with the amount of talk around tuning the 8V at the moment.

Interesting because I believe the EU are considering some legislation that would make changing a car from it's original 'type approval' specification illegal as well.

Hopefully,once the tuning industry wakes up to this,and the EC realises how many jobs are involved,and how much money the industry turns over,they'll gain some common sense.

More likely though they'll just do what Brussels does best and saddle us with another raft of pointless legislation.
