Star Performance is well known for their VAG tuning capabilities and is also famous for their Rolling Road Days. This day will give you the chance to find out exactly how many horses are running under your bonnet.

Each car that participates in the Rolling Road Day will have up two runs (one preliminary, one full power) on the Rolling Road and each car will receive a full coloured print out showing power and torque.

Cost

2WD - £25
4WD - £40

I would be well up for that.  I would be very interested to see how many horses I have lost.  Remember the Top Gear Challange Italian cars for less than the price of a second hand Mondeo, that was interesting.

No Automatic Gearboxes

Awwww

Why? 

Have they had automatic transmissions ruined on their rig?  Or does the autobox hinder the way the rig works?

Why, are they to big for the rig, can't be to powerful if they are opening it up to M5's say.  Or would they breakdown?

afaik they're the same thing, steptronic just allows you manual override of the automatic box (within reason) using buttons, paddles or a lever?

Yes but AFAIK the reason they don't like auto boxes is because the car has to stay in 4th gear or something like that? That can be done using manual mode with the steptronic

You are right but I don't think the steptronic automatic will let you pull off in 4th.  1st, 2nd and 3rd (for winter) but not 4th.  Will try tomorrow.

I'll never buy another Autosmart product after their Kril f'ked the look of my engine and bay. They were also little to no help in removing this yellow krud. In my personal opinion, one to be avoided.

Most if the Autosmart stuff is quite good, I think you've just had a bad experience...

See you Sunday Pete, that's if you're still going? Ian and I are going to take a wee blast through!

The weather down south wasn't too bad, so I had a wee trip over - met up with Paul and Ian. Ian had his car on the RR (see pics below)
