    I'm not a clutch guy but...

    I've done some research and found that a lot of people are complaining of the "high engaging" clutch. My question is: how is it not something that can be adjusted? It seems as though the clutch engages too late in the release of the pedal...so why can't the connecting arm thingy on the clutch...

    Improving Handling and Bumpy Roads

    Sorry, this is not a genius DIY thread. I plan to do a lot of work to my RS and I'm starting with the wheels, tires, springs, sway bar/brace/both, and brakes. I consider this doing things the "right" way as I'm sure most of you would agree. I do want to lower my car, however, I live in a...

    Assortment of Questions

    Call me stupid for asking this, but... If my stock RS had 18 inch wheels and comparable tire width to stock, and was dropped and inch in the suspension, wouldn't the ride height of the car be the same as stock? My main concern in terms of wheels/suspension is to fill in the wheel arches (with...

    Lowering and Bumpy Roads

    Me Yesterday: "I'll have the RS, thanks"

    So I went ahead and bought the RS. I'm actually sitting in it now as I write this. I got it in the black metallic. I love it. I love the trim, gearbox, steering. Everything feels awesome. The close ratio gearbox encourages skipping gears (engine has good torque as well...which helps in this...
