what have you done to your car today ?

[bree9482]

Hi mate, I had - on my A3, and 1 on Leon now !!

There was a few clued up guys on the audi forum who done some logging using vcds. They found the readings in the MAF to be higher using the s2k filter compared to jetex, k+n etc... I feel like the power delivery is smoother and quicker. And lets be honest they are £15 lol. Need to change every year as its a paper filter. I'm sadly saying good bye to the Leon on say. It was nice

Going into TSR shortly for a cambelt service. Will get them to supply and fit ('cos I'm a lazy git) Weitec 40/40 kit. Also having the front end polybushed and geometry set-up. 15mm rear spacers purchased and will be fitted tomorrow night.
Hopefully handling will be a bit tighter. Having had a Scooby for 3 years, I need it to be.

15mm spacers on the rear only will increase the tendency for understeer...

Yesterday I fitted a new CTS as it was giving a fault code and it has made the car feel better when cold. Off to halfords for the 4th time to see if they have fixed my CD player for the 3rd time . Other then that the car is running sweet

Don't just do the rear the car was designe a certain width of the axles, increasing just the back is wrong.
I went 20mm all round.

I went 20 as i prefered bolt to hub, then wheels to the spacer and you keep using the same wheel bolts and lockers

Ah OK. The golf looks nice. Quite fancied one of them before Cupra R. What's the DSG box like?. Never driven one.

 

[akchappers]

It is quite fast at shifting!
However it's not the same as driving! It's a lazy car! Great in full auto in town though.
Retro pattern seats!

Mine as DSG i think i have used the paddles twice, auto is lazy but far better for my knackered hip, no clutch. Sports more is more fun as it raises the revs of each gear
