Whoever helps me with this one, I owe you a million! Replaced driver side handbrake cable and the wheel cylinder and soon the following problem started on my 1997 Golf III. Namely, my rear left brakes start dragging. So, I lift the car, released adjustment wedge and the wheel spins easily...

Hi, me and my girlfriend have been chasing our tails trying to solve our brake system issue. The problem manifests it's self as the brakes dragging slightly at highway speeds until the rotor warp causes the steering wheel to shake, almost like the death wobble on my old cherokee, with pulsation...

More than just showing a fast car, this video does a great job of showing you the difference between a high ten-second car and a mid-nine second car. A second doesn’t sound like a lot until you see the differences on track. To demonstrate that, this built RS3 with forged internals, a TTE700...

Forget the three-liter Lupo, this little Volkswagen is a four-liter version. Except where the first one was a nod to fuel economy, this one is for the pair of 2.0L turbo fours under the front and rear of the tiny car. 1,200 hp, says the description of the video. So what do you drag race this...

Wheelies in all-wheel-drive cars are probably not great, since it means that two of the driven wheels aren’t putting down their power. But that doesn’t stop them from being rad. This TT R30 Turbo makes more than 1,300 hp, which might explain why it launches so hard. And even though it bunny...

Reaction times are a wonderful thing, especially at the drag strip. Case in point, this Golf R that eats a Ferrari 458 Italia for lunch. It's hard to say just what's happening under this Golf R's hood but whoever's behind the wheel ( our money's on that 75-year-old Brit from a few weeks ago )...

The UK’s Santa Pod Raceway is the site of a lot of great VW racing, and in April it celebrated the 2018 GTI SPRINGfest . As you’d imagine, there were some great Golfs, as well as a few other VAG products that took to the drag strip. The racing looked great and some cars even ran into the...

Audi tuner APR has been pushing the Audi 2.5L five-cylinder to higher and higher power levels. Now they've gotten an RS3 to break into the nine-second window in the quarter mile. It wasn't just a single go for broke pass, either. The customer car ran eight nine-second passes at the Montgomery...

I think it's safe to say that for any of us, not crashing a Lamborghini—implying that we’re driving a Lamborghini at all—would qualify as a pretty good moment. But when that non-event is immediately preceded by the near certainty of a crash, it qualifies as more. As Churchill said, “nothing...

We had a great weekend meeting enthusiasts and running the in house GTI at the VW Drag Day on the Auto Club's 1/4 mile dragstrip in Fontana. Despite the rain, which lead to the early closure of the track just before elimination rounds, our driver was able to trap a few good times including a...

Congrats to Steve at Statller Power Developments for setting a new stock turbo Golf R record last weekend at Santapod Raceway. Steve's fastest ET on the day was 11.5453 seconds at 119.80 mph, but on another run he was able to go 120.15mph. All with just stage 2+ upgrades, special programming...
