    Best Tyres for Front Grip

    I've had my 2017 Cupra 300 DSG since November last year. It's got Bridgestone 235/35 r19 tyres on the front.

    Fabia TDI - in car acceleration video

    Following engine rebuild and a few more mods, initial testing of my Skoda Fabia went well and performance is pretty good. I am sure there will be more to come though once my 4 year old mapping is updated. [B)] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMCeMIPL0sY

  7. LCR acceleration compared to S3?

    Hi, Anyone know what LCR's are like compared to S3's I've heard they 'feel' a bit faster because they are FWD and a little lighter, is that true? Book speed S3's are quicker to 60 which would indicate they must be quite a bit quicker in general as they don't hit 60 in 2nd gear, I have...
