Default i think someone may have done this recently. do a search andrew....

for servotronic or something. It involved removing a module which resulted in disabling the sevotronic system.

Default Remove the servotronic

Click the image to open in full size.

I find it without this, it's way too heavy, if there was something in between it would be perfect, or if we had the ability to adjust it like that of the A3.

Default I'm sure they'll be a hack soon enough.

Default It felt like it but honestly need a second opinion if that is the case or not

Probably some placebo effect...

Interested in seeing if anybody canabolized one of these to see what's inside.

Default Nope

It definetly wanted to self centre itself! Going around tight turns at low speeds the wheel wants to unwind back to the centre.
