Here by popular demand - a section for all you real petrol heads out there
If you have a model specific question, please post it in the relevant model forum - however if it's just a generic tuning question/thread, feel free to unleash it onto the tuning crew
And incase you aren't completely sure what Tuning is (we had quite a debate about this) - if it's related to improving one of the following, it's going to be Tuning
The short version is - if it improves performance and handling, it's tuning - if it just replaces as like for like what you already had, or just makes the car look better - it's NOT tuning.
The List:
Bodykits, OEM Replacement Brakes, HID lights, Lowering Springs, Alloy Wheels etc etc don't count!
