New Car : S3

[Maxeh]

It seems to be a specific Audi size and yes the new and old navigation units can be retro-fitted.

Mine has the BOSE upgrade which a lot of people seem to slate but I have found it nice and crisp so far.

The nav unit isn't really worth the expense to be honest, you'd be better off with a TomTom in my opinion.

I agree with the BOSE comments. I find it pretty good as well albeit heavily rear-biased seeing as the amp only runs the rear speakers. The fronts still run off the head unit. Cheap gits.

You have to be joking, nothing is worse than those awful Irish plates!

3 and 3 looks nice, but only when it's not from NI.
ie. not containing an I or a Z

I have an NI reg on my car.. does this mean I fail .

From reading through the history I think mine has an MTM Stage 2 (269bhp) map which incorporates the full Milltek system.

Wouldn't mind getting it RR'd out of curiosity.

Drives like an FWD car, mind....

I think that's the point? I've been told that they are pretty much FWD until Slip is detected, and they have a fair bit of understeer built into the factory suspension system.

Do remember that Slip != wheelspin. You introduce slip simply by applying power to the front wheels. Slip refers to rotational differences between the front and rear wheels.

However, you are right in that it is a FWD biased car, and that it is set up to understeer quite significantly (they did change this with the newer S3, which although still haldex, has a revised system that reduces this issue).

Decent picture at last.

Nice tidy example, I have never been a fan of the chrome mirrors though.

REALLY like the look of them, and especially in that colour

May I ask where you can have this done for £350. I have been looking around and the cheapest I can find it is £499+VAT.

For Revo try getting in touch with these guys, they were offering a great price last time I enquired for my Passat.
