What have you done to your 8V today?

Sorry to change the subject but just wondered wot mode is the most populor for you guys to drive in? For say popping around town?
Think it might be to do with my age but im allways in dynamic mode....:racer:
 
Individual so I can turn off fake dynamic engine sound, everything else dynamic or when im feeling the bumps too much comfort mode

My car is pretty much always in individual mode (everything dynamic except steering which is comfort), predominantly with the gearbox in D, I just pop it down to S when I want to go fast. The only time it's not set like that is when I'm on long motorway runs (driving across Europe) when I'll stick it in efficiency mode and trundle along at 70.

Well I only do that on very long runs I managed 420 miles on a single tank when I drove to the south of Italy in the summer (stuck to 70 in E mode the whole way, it was a dull drive) - I was massively impressed though as my average mpg when I'm at home cutting around town and commuting to work is about 26, well it does get significantly lower from time to time

Looks great! You should've waited two weeks or so for the alignment though, the springs will need to settle and your alignment will be out again

Balls... is that right?

Think they will always do the alignment after changing springs as a matter of course mine did too and all 3 quotes I got included this. Interesting if it changes though that could well happen but mine are still the same ride height as when fitted 91mm from wheel rim to arch measured vertically on all 4 corners.

Might be worth taking some measurements now and then after 2 weeks or 200 miles.

Since Audi cheaped out and didn't include side storage nets in the boot (trunk) of my S3 sedan, I got three of these. One for the back of the rear seat, one for each side (I've attached one over the unused rear storage compartment and the other across the little recessed shelf).

I don't plan on putting anything in them that weighs a lot so they will work perfect. Looks OEM which is good as they mold to the shape of the liner and they are removable.

Sure, a small thing but works for me :)

So where is the Finished result...you do know Iron X will take the silver paint off the wheel hubs...if your car is new that is..?so whats the cure time on the quarts coating
Click to expand...

Dear jassyo06,

Regarding the iron x, before the first application I asked a professional detailer and told me that if you remove before it dries there is no problem. Since today I have never had any issue with that.

According the Cquartz cure time I left it about 24 h.

Here are some pictures. I have been running 2 days after the detailing.

Your making me feel bad now! I know what the budget thing is like, my daughter is trying to get a job at the moment so very limited funds but she insisted on paying for something so I bought a clear case and tempered glass screen protector for my Galaxy S6................ total cost £6.46!! lol
 
Wishy washy day! Just before the rain came along :shrug:. Glad it's done though and got to try out my new Autosmart Duet shampoo. Leaves some great results:
