    Fuel Starvation

    Has anyone experienced this type of issue? Started the T this morning and rather than waiting for the electronic choke to stop I just drove off. 20 yards later it felt like the engine was a little starved of fuel. Put my foot down and not much happened. The engine wasn't so starved of fuel...

    Golf R20T

    thoughts? I like the semi subtleness of it versus the full on Focus RS. Sadly daytime running lights are already becoming a cool chav addition so I'm not sure they'll do it any favours..

    Cat-back & panel filter improvements?

    Hi everyone - I've been knocking around the idea of getting a Trophy for a while now, and I'm going to be buying one very soon now. Quick question: is it best to get a bog-stock example (what I've always done in the past) or does the Trophy respond well to a cat-back pipe and a panel filter...
