    CUPRA has finally arrived!

    Have to say it looks nicer in black than I expected, but after my black mk1 I'm not sure I could again and IMO it looks better in red or white

    Won't cause problems, but to get the full benefits you will need it mapping again

    Is this a K1 or FR?

    Remap on the cupra will take it past the vxr, plus I thought the vxr brand was being dropped and going back to the gte? Could be wrong mind you S3 interior is nicer but not nice enough for me, plus most are 3 door and the exterior just does not do it for me plus haldex makes running costs...

    Is this a K1 or FR?

    Is this a K1 or FR?

    interesting you say the new wheels are not as good quality wise, i assume the FL wheel is the same as the sports one you can get from the accessories brochure from the dealer? I'm going to be looking for a K1 next year myself and they do seem to be thin on the ground, but I am willing to...

    Massive accident in Indy Car - Brit Dan Wheldon killed

    Simple case of indycar is not a big sport over here, which is a shame as he was a big talent and as said never got the recognition over here but was a big star over in the states

    Massive accident in Indy Car - Brit Dan Wheldon killed

    Seems like a few people have said this could be indycar's Senna event, something of such a tragic impact to the sport that it forces them to making major safety changes. Just a shame it normally takes something like this for it to happen

    Massive accident in Indy Car - Brit Dan Wheldon killed

    RIP Dan Wheldon I switched over well after the race had been stopped, seemed ominous the way they were talking and it ended in the worst possible outcome and I still finding myself emotional over it. One of my old jobs involved working software support and Dans Dad was the owner of One of the...
