    Underbody Tunnel Braces

    Hello everyone, need some help deciding if it's worth fitting this: https://www.racingline.com/mqb-underbody-brace As it says on the website it improves handling and provides extra clearance for an aftermarket exhaust.

  3. Handling Advice

    Went for a spirited drive in the Lakes yesterday, and though I hate to admit it my brothers crappy old fiesta pretty much kept up with me (1.9 fr) on the twisty turny roads. Its the first time I've had a chance to properly throw it around and the handling was awful. Loads of body roll, and just...

    Hi all, im looking at buying either a 1.6 se or 1.6 sx leon however after going through the specs have realised the sx doesnt have the sports suspension fitted but has more of the gadgets. I dont want the handling to be too much like a family car and therefore was thinking about going for...

    Handling help

    Hi guys for a little handling help. Recently had the car lowered and have been struggling to like the setup ever since. The rear always seems slow to react when you flick gentley from side toside and I seem to have understeer and front end feels vague. I have no real confidence and I'm...

    Since the weather has improved lately I've been going out for drives round some quiet roads exploring the handling of the LC ... places I use safely for testing modifications in the middle of nowhere :lol: ... before the new wheels it felt pretty much spot on ... I've got the later spec LC...

  7. Handling ?????

    My girlfriend drives our MK4 FR TDi and its an ok car, it just doesn't handle as well as my old MK2. In fact it's the worst handing SEAT I've driven, it does not inspire confidence although quick enough. I really hate it every time I get in for drive anywhere. So in an effort to get it to be...

    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...

    '03 leon 110 tdi, 98,000 miles, standard suspension at the minute. What will best sort out my handling? I was toying with the idea of lowering, but I like the ride height as it is because it is practical and comfortable. What is the best way to sort out the damn handling. Threw it round...

  14. Dodgy handling

    while out the other week I noticed a few times that the rear end of my car skipped out, at first I put it down to the snow/ice on the roads, however with this now clearing up i've noticed that it seems to happen when the passanger side at the front of the car hits a bump in the road. Car...

  16. Nervous handling

    My 04 tdi cupra has slowly developed some alarming handling traits. It's always been a bit floaty but now it's reallly starting to worry me. In the recent icy weather, It feels like the rear end is moveing out of line at the least provocation, especially where there are slight undulations in...

  19. Remap on FR affecting handling

    I have been thinking about some sort of remap on my FR but my niggling fear is that doing anything to push the engine much above 200BHP may affect the handling of a front wheel drive car. I realise I may be in danger of being shouted at by cupra owners but some things I have read suggest that...
