    Handling & grip

    http://www.autocar.co.uk/VideosWallpapers/Videos.aspx?AR=246738&CT=V This video on it's own merit is a bit of a pointless exercise. We all know an Audi R8 V10 is faster than a Skoda Octavia 1.4 in every condition, BUT on a very bendy track with hardly any straights IN THE WET, the gap...

  8. Remapped Cupra - 1st gear grip

    Does anyone with a chipped 20vt manage to get the power down in 1st? I was remapped at the weekend, and even in very warm weather on sunday, would it hell grip beyond 4000rpm in 1st - not the end of the world admittedly, but slightly annoying! The car has GSD3's on, but im just wondering...
