  1. 300 tires and LSD

    My 300 has the factory Hanooks on them and to be frank they are rubbish , they just cant seem to take putting down the power. So what are people recommending works well. Also does anybody know if the LSD actions changes depending on mode???

  3. data etc.....

    I've pick up my new to me Vz3 leon and I'm trying to sort out the various system.

  8. Relative performance between 290 and 300

    I was wondering if there is actually any power difference between the 19 plate 290 and the 300 st. Is the mapping different? Also apart from a standing start shouldn’t a 290 be quicker the a 300 st as it’s alot lighter? Does anybody have any figures for midrange performance.

  10. First week driving impressions

    I got my new 290 lux on Monday and thought I would share my first impressions.

Smaller wheels are less like to be damaged when she goes down tracks to see her horse and I can also put some cross climates on them. It’s...
  13. Smaller/Winter wheels and tyres

    My new 290 lux should be turning up next week and I’m already thinking of what smaller wheels will fit. I’ve had 19” on my gti pp and they where nothing but a pain due to the pot holes etc where I live. What options do I have for 18 or even 17” wheels ?
