    APR Remap is out for all mqb 1.8 TSI!

    I think whereas ten years ago people went on forums to share learnings and explore / brainstorm opportunities, now forums have become more mainstream this angle has diminished and it's become much more one dimensional. Too many people are on them to push their own agendas and rubbish...

    S3 or Golf R or even an S1?

    Now I like the look of the R400, and I'd like to think they'll make it, but given previous form with concepts I'm not holding my breath! Personally I found the RS3 (engine aside) to look a bit uninspiring given it's going to whack you in the back pocket to the tune of £50k + (with options). At...

    S3 or Golf R or even an S1?

    Wow, seeing that thread suggests if nothing else that a few thousand years of evolution haven't really done much to develop the empathy or constructive ness of men driving tin pots. Don't get me wrong, we have plenty of similar scenarios on here too, but if you reflect it back it's like a...

    S3 or Golf R or even an S1?

    Or fat men in stg1+ S5's! Actually if S3 had remap it would be very close, but obviously we'd be glacial against a stock Golf R ;-)

    S3 or Golf R or even an S1?

    Personal view is that you're all entitled to think WTF you like about any car, Audi or otherwise. Where I (and I'm sure others take issue) is where it gets personal. Don't knock each other for your respective views, respect each others opinions, and whether you like them or not; accommodate...

    Personal registration numbers

    There is a whole thread dedicated to this in the 8V section already : http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/new-a3-s3-8v-chassis/213085-a3-s3-8v-personalised-registration-numbers-private-plates.html

    Bird poo

    I've never seen so many cars covered in bird s**t as as I have done lately. Had mine professionally detailed this weekend, came out this morning to find huge bird shat on the windscreen (Ill take that over paintwork). The birds sit on the end of our house then fly off and **** themselves. All...

    Get one thing sorted then something else!

    If they took your front tyres off and then put them on opposite sides wouldn't the directional tyre tread be pointing in the wrong direction???? Check to see if the rotational direction is correct, if it is, I suggest you get you r car back to the dealer. If you do anything since they touched...

    What did you part-x?

    I agree with you. Most people who judge the S5 do so on poverty spec. With extras it's a better car than S3 but still not anywhere near perfect.

    What did you part-x?

    Gents, all is good in the hood! I appreciate we all have our views (I'm not a big fan of deflectors either and prefer to take the morning Audi shower when I open the window to soon, but my view is its a slippery slope when we start expressing in a forthright manner. Inevitably in an anonymous...

    Would you go from MINI JCW to S3 sedan

    Sedan all day long. Gets 19s as standard, and with the right set up will look as menacing as the older day RS4's.

    First mod completed..............will not try anything as complicated as this again!

    If they didn't weld themselves on they'd get nicked every time you parked up. I got Audi ones this time without the lock nut (which seized on my last ones) so I had to man handle them off which was 'interesting'! No doubt these ones will be gone soon as they're unprotected.

    S3 or Golf R or even an S1?

    With all the kit the S5 is a reasonably good car, but where I feel the S5 seems to lack are two main areas: 1) mid range overtaking capability 2) dimwitted S-Tronic box Despite all the recent revisions and facelifts (the B8.5 facelift was far more than a 'cosmetic facelift') whilst the...

    Next RS3 - New Info

    As the two acronyms are bed partners it appears both, but then as the drivers car of the range that will always cause the discussion to surface.

    A3 "ULTRA"

    Where I'd last read something about ultra concept and weight loss: https://www.audi.co.uk/about-audi/latest-news/Audi-TT-Ultra-Quattro-concept-sheds-300KG-to-sharpen-its-focus.html

    A3 "ULTRA"

    I always thought Ultra was about the lightweight concept not Eco stuff?????

    Would you go from MINI JCW to S3 sedan

    I'm going to step in here and say something that may not resonate that well with Mini aficionados. I like them (the classic shape), but for me when I first drove a Cooper S I was expecting a revelation based on the magazine reviews. It was good, but the way the Journo types were banging on...

    Next RS3 - New Info

    I think I might need a Gayman next, the GT4 is looking particularly interesting even with the PDK box. Given the price of an RS3 loaded with options is nearly £50k there won't be a lot in it.

    S3 - Take delivery or not take delivery that is the question !

    Agree, last September I thought my time was up, lucky I got a get out of jail free card on this occasion so now I live every day like it's my last. On the grounds of that I say f**k money and reg plates and enjoy ;-)
