    Intresting review of the new Ibiza Cupra on Pistonheads.

    What's not to like about a 7 speed race 'box developed to be better than you could be? vtxracer intresting results on that I see they are over the 184ft/lb right the way through to about 6k, (6000 rpm and 210bhp would be 183.82ft/lb) so even if the map pegged back the torque at the lower end...

    12v Car power socket to 240v AC UK plug Invertor

    Do any of those need a 240v AC output to charge them, or can you not just use 12v adapters? I'd probably look for a minimum of 150w on the offchance you look to run a laptop off it at some point and idealy a true sine wave not square wave output if you can get one as some things have a...

    carbon....wrong or right???

    Carbon on Yellow looks good IMO but I'd say it needs to be the real stuff or it will look cheap. This is on my Polo Colour Concept but that has the yellow and black leather seats so it's more of a theam

    Front Spacers

    I'd rather tell people these things and let them make an informed decision, I'm thinking of starting a site to summarise 4 years of university study on the subject into bite sized advice. It's just a question of time.

    Front Spacers

    From a safty point of view spacers on the front are a very bad idea as is will impact the scrub radius. The front suspension geometry is designed so that the SAI intersects the road outside the center of the contact patch of the tyre, so that in the event of a puncture the drag on the wheel...

    1.4 into a 1.2

    Err, why? It will cost a fortune to insure as an engine transplant compard to swapping the car. As I always say engine transplants are only worth doing if you are putting in somthing you can't get off the peg, parts labor and insurance will almost always make it more expensive than swapping the...

    shreading Tyres

    Sounds most like excessive toe, or nackered bushes letting the toe change under acceleration/braking. Or you are driving like a loon.

    Quarter mile/ 0-60 times.

    IIRC VAG test at what they call 1/2 load (or did back in the Mk2 golf days) so that's equivelent to 2 up with a decent sixed case in the boot. This may have changed though.

    Quarter mile/ 0-60 times.

    My best run is a 15.5 but with a lot of extra weight to drag along (me). (FR TDi just about as below).

    Forge 007 DV v Bailey DV

    You may have problems with unburnt hydrocarbons in the exhaust gas. Runing rich is less damadging to the internals than running lean, I wouldn't expect any long trem engine problems from it but your cat won't thank you (or wouldn't if you had one).

    Forge 007 DV v Bailey DV

    If you replace a recirc valve with an atmo one then you are letting out air that has allready been meatered and recorded by the ecu, so it's fueling for the aomunt of air it expects to be there, some of which isn't.

    Little Help

    The reset is hit and miss if the spanner isn't on at the time (so if like me you service more often than recomended it will almost allways come on after the service).
