Hi Peeps, I noticed this morning, When driving around at a steady speed or slowly accelerating I can hear a squealing noise coming from the front end of my car. Its really odd because brakes don't affect the noise. When slowing down, the noise slows with the car speed. The noise isn't always...

Hello Chaps/Chapettes, Is there anything that you would recommend doing before having a remap ? Ive just had a service of Oil, Oil filter and air filter. Anything else worth changing or doing ?

When I go to full lock to go round a sharp corner, if there are any bumps, the car sounds like its dragging the tyres a bit and also the suspension seems to become very bouncy and bangs when going off of a dropped kerb whilst reversing on full lock out of my drive. There isnt any clicking noises...

Does anyone make or know of an induction kit the same as the K-tec one, without the 160 odd pound price tag ?? When I say make, I mean surely some on the forum has decided to do the same as k-tec but cheaper ??

Ok so from what Ive found, the best look would be to take all the badges off the rear and just put the new RS badge back on over the holes. My question is - Do the new RS badges have the clip bits to fill the holes or is it just a sticker... If so, how does everyone go about covering these...

Basically the camber on the front was completely different either side. What can cause this ? Im guessing worn items ?? I had my toe set to factory which according to the book was either + or - 1.50 degrees. Is this right ? Thanks in advance.
