No, Its suposed to aid front traction when steering. There's lots of info about them on the Internet! It's supposedly one of the best handling mods for the mk5, and for 100 quid I couldn't say no, just need to get it fitted now!

Yes. It would have been automatic, but the resale value of the boards would plummet.

That background makes me think of moisture soaked plywood covered in carpet sitting out in the cold. It's okay though, because it's covered in epoxy. But we all know it's cracking and separating right now. Way to go Winter!

Picking on Rob is so much less fun when he's not around to defend himself, ain't it?

That was on old spark plugs too, so chances are its making a bit more than that... It should be ~300bhp.

Ahem.... so, been a while around these parts! :-)
So... got some new brakes. Aston Martin DB9 calipers and 362mm AP racing rotors.
3" Stainless exhaust with black ceramic tips...
And now 320bhp.
See you in 3 years time.

Doofy isn't banned. As for new young blood, we did have those Twilight girls posting for a time. A pity they didn't stay. Oh wait, scratch that.

Well, I don't know the first thing about music copyright infringement, but I can lie about it, if that helps.

I would love a mk7 GTI PP.... they can be made to be very very quick on stock hardware.

Yup. Tracks show up the difference e between fast road setups and race setups pretty quickly. Doesn't stop them being fun just makes you realise how hard race tec has to work.

Speaking of which, visa-versa. Had a spin in a friends race car, converted to road use. Although it was amazing and very very brutal, it was just not in any real sense a usable road car.
Dear god it was quick though!!

Yeah. Wish we got the Clubsport here. I have the PP and with a tune it’s a beast. Clutch is crap though.

I also got a new ride - a folding bicycle with 16" wheels. No pictures because I don't know of a hosting site (any recommendations for free?). Definitely fun and portable. People always pass me though which is no big deal. I like it. Maybe go for 20" wheel next.
