    Disable the handbrake warning sound

    17 GTI here. Does anyone know if it's possible to disable or code out the alarm sound that happens when you pull the manual handbrake? I don't mind the BRAKE light on the dash but the alarm beep/ding is terribly annoying. I've searched all over the web and through every option I can find on...

    What are your favourite winter tires?

    I have Michelin X-Ice 3 on my winter wheel set, and I don't like them very much. Snow and ice traction are decent, but above-freezing wet grip is poor, and they are the squirmiest tires I've ever used; so much so that they don't hold a straight line going 60 on the highway. They are broken in...

    Sport Tuning brand on Tire Rack

    The Sport Tuning and Sport Edition brands are some of Tire Rack's private label/house brands. The quality is actually very good for the price. Over the last 15 years I have had Sport Editions for winter wheel sets on several previous cars, including my SW20 MR2, e36 M3s, and Mazdaspeed 6. I now...

    200tw tires for Track use

    I just wanted to add a note about the Dunlop Z3. I was a huge fan of the Z1 and Z2 star spec tires in the past and used them to great effect. The wear characteristics of the Z3 are quite good, they are very streetable and have decent manners. I didn't get to any big tracks this season, but they...

    Neuspeed Power module piggy back safe on the track?

    You'll get a much better improvement in lap times with just seat time, or if you want to spend some money, good tires and some camber.
