    rag the nips off it Rich, If the maps work in a similar way to the VAG ones especially the AMD maps then it will be adapting still.

    Thanks for the kind words guys. Woody I don't really like the mk5 it's seriously common hence it's prices have begun to enter mk4 territory for equal mileage, Also my back ground is all in tuning the mk4 so wanted to stick to something I know and trust, warranty was the main reason I bought...

    It is and it isnt id keep both if i could but the clio both excellent for toatally different reasons. Clio just doesnt have the grunt for me the r32 isnt that much quicker but it is quicker non the less and the torque makes for more useful road driving IMO, I also found not having 4wd a whack...

    N0ddie i totally agree it does even with the xenons on which make it look a bit newer it has unfortunately come of age, Also what amazes me is that the clio is considered a small hatch where as the golf is suposedly a large hatch i.e megane yet there the same size! cars are growing i think.

    Sprint Booster review

    yea there are haters but these people are just the ignorant ones that try to use it one cars that dont need it. They only work well on cars that have low throttle response or low torque. Put them on hight response torquey engines such as an r32 or an new ish 2l turbo car and they become...

    Save the ring...

    Taken of VXRonline via R32oc Hi everyone, Some of you may be aware of problems at Nurburgring, and some may not. To put it bluntly the Ring (As we know it by) was taken over in 2007 by two business men, unfortunately they know nothing about motor sport, have no passion for the ring and...

    Had a bit of a flirt on the forecourt today

    Sorry to drag up an old post Aran. There were a couple at the breakfast club and i was always of the same opinion as you, However i realised there that that's is not the case the side skirts etc are actually seamless to the body, along with other bits not stuck on afterwards. Unlike an st which...
