Latest emaikl from Cartridge World - they are back!!

I'm picking up a set of Seat Sport OZ Super T's over the weekend (Cupra R wheels) which I intend to use purely as track wheels. Question is, which tyres do I go for purely for track use? With a 205/45/16 tyre, I've read that the Toyo R888s aren't a wise move as they're only available in...

I'm loving the Alpine stereo, especially since you can switch the LEDs to match the Leon interior lighting. HOWEVER the display remains a bright 'Alpine blue' and is really a bit too bright for my preference for night driving. There is no way of dimming this in the menus. I've seen a few...

Looking into these but am lacking in knowledge on sizes and fitments TBH. Initially looking at Toyo R888 mediums, now these don't come in 225-40-18 but do come in 235-40-18's. Yokohama Paradas come in 225-40-8 but the AVS sport come in 235-40-18 Has anyone fitted these to their OEM LCR...

im after setting up my car for road and track. I frequent the nurburgring a few times a month(bonus of working abroad:D, so i cant set it up for smooth tracks, and this is also an everyday car that my wife drives, so i have to cut a fine balance.:shrug: I currently have corner weighted...

Can't seem to find many treads on this: The track width is 16mm wider on the front of the Cupra and i suspect SEAT made it this way for a very good reason. I desperatley want to fill the rear arches out as everytime i look at the car from the rear i'm dissapointed :( I'd like to keep...

Since i've been a member for a while i thought it was time to start a readers rides thread. no clean pictures at the min as i need to get them off my old laptop. So, having grown unbelievably sick of my 206 Quicksilver i started looking for something new. Have always liked the look of the...

I have an LCR with ds2500 pads and grooved discs. On its debut track day at Snetterton last friday, the car was amazing and keeping up with cars far superior to it; however, my shiney red front brembos have turned brown! I know this is due to the heat, but wondering if anyone knows if it will...

As the title say's. Its for a 2005 LCR n/s end

After winning some money on the lottey a few weeks back, me and a friend have decided to do a track car project, to race locally in sussex, just wonderd what cars you guys would reccomend from experience? was thinking maybe 205? E30 bmw?

I was at knockhill yesterday doing a track experience in a leon cupra r. Needless to say I am now hooked on it and choking to get back on the track. I'd like to take my cupra on the track but because I am new to this I am unsure of it being a suitable car, or the basic requirements of the car...

hi people went to have my tracked today but guy said he couldnt do it due to not being able to move drivers side track rod. He said get that replaced and he will then be able to do it. I was wondering is this an easy job to do yourself or better to get a garage to do it? Also is it just the...

Well after years of thinking about it , myself and "Nibbles" finally took the plunge and bought a track day car with the hope of now being able to learn how to drive properly ! The little baby we bought is a Peugeot 1.9 GTI and with the help of Nibbles careful eye the deal was done this...

Alot of people will remember this.... After 18 or so months of selling it I had a text saying I could have it back for a decent price, after popping round to see the old girl the deal was done and it was returned to its place on the drive. I had my mind set on an mx5 as a track toy but...

Hi guys, Trying to remove the Track rod ends on my mk3 cupra. They are inverted, and proving really difficult to remove. After using anti-seize and heat they still wouldnt turn, then the nut and bolt sheared off rather than turning, when applying force so now its still attached but the...
